Engine braking on 2017 F150 5.0L
I have a 2017 F150 with the 5.0 engine. When I tow my TT in tow haul mode, it seems to me that Ford has overdone it with the engine braking. As I apply the brakes, it downshifts really hard and revs ...

Modern computer controlled trucks do not over rev. It's impossible because of the computer.
Anybody that is worried about over reving their "modern" truck is worrying about nothing. They need to go a rev anonymous meeting. They are held at their local race track. I haven't been to any in a long time but when I did I took my 572 to 7,000 RPM time after time. And this thing has pistons as big as a small coffee can.
Let it rev.
Truck pulls hold these meetings too. I used to help my uncle who owned a pulling sled business. There was one local truck that had a moderately built 454 that spun 9000 RPM when pulling.
