Why don't gasohol engines in pickups have exhaust brakes?
Because they have throttle plates. Blocking the exhaust also wouldn't add anything. At 3.5 liter, the EcoBoost is just too small to do a lot of good in this regard. But if 4000 rpm is maintaining the speed you want I suppose it's doing okay. The engine certainly doesn't mind that rpm.
