I thought they were stock starting in 2011 :H
Heard they were kind of tricky, had to tap the brake pedal or something like that.
You are correct. The exhaust brake is on the weak side, which is why Ford improved it on the 2015 models.
From the superduty website
"Super Duty® continues to innovate with its enhanced Tow/Haul Mode. For 2011, the new Power Stroke® 6.7L diesel and six-speed TorqShift® transmission utilizes seemless engine exhaust braking to improve driving confidence and minimize brake wear. While driving downhill in Tow/Haul Mode and tapping the brake, the combustion process is restricted to help maintain the desired vehicle speed. This big-rig-inspired feature increases towing confidence without wearing down the transmission or heating up the brakes. So when you need extra control coming down that 8% grade towing 20,000 lbs., this new feature on the Power Stroke Diesel gives you that extra driving confidence and safety"
