Exhaust brake use on ice is a BIG no-no, but I don't think the 2010 Ford's had it as a selectable option.
With my first diesel w/exhaust brake, I tested it on a downhill ice covered parkway empty of all other traffic. I knew what to expect and I was not disappointed.
I "practice" as many scenarios while driving on ice and snow as possible as long as there is no other traffic or obstacles that I cannot afford to pay for in the vicinity.
There are too many drivers that lock up the brakes and just hold on until they hit something.

X2 Practice, practice ,practice. It also is fun:B

That's tragic and it happens over and over. That's why we limit our trips onto public roads with ice and snow.We trust my driving but not the other guy. Hah, Hah . I put the jeep in the ditch on it's side and I didn't have input from any other vehicles just my own wonderful driving skills and help from a suprise patch of black ice on a turn and a hill. Very humbling.
