Loved my 2011 Ecoboost. But it does have weak engine braking.
After many steep descents in the mountains and at least one severe over-heating of both the trailer and truck's brakes, they started to vibrate. So front rotors were replaced at 75K kms.
I never got the brakes to lock up on pavement with the OEM brake controller. But did on gravel. And I never really hit brakes that hard as I didn't want everything in the trailer to fly around. Still, the trailer brakes certainly dragged the truck quickly to a stop.
