The 2011 Ford has a poor exhaust brake. When going down steep grades with a heavy trailer you get very good engine braking if you can slow down enough to allow the transmission to select 2nd gear. (I think this is about 45 mph with my truck)) My 2011 Ford holds back much better than my 03 Duramax did descending the same hill with the same 15000 lb trailer. The 2015 Fords apparently are much better.
