2013 1500 CC Longhorn 6.4 bed with 3.92 and 8 speed. Bought the truck a month ago and it was a well cared for one owner truck. Does anyones truck seem to downshift while coasting downhill? It almost seems as if it is engine braking. It will downshift downhill coasting and when i tap the brake to begin to slow down it will downshift again. Truck does not coast downhill like every other car I've driven in 30 years.

2016 sport does the same thing. I've found that if I put a pitch of throttle in it, that engine break feel turns into a normal coast.

It is normal, as a matter of fact, throw the truck into tow/haul mode and it will definitely exacerbate the issue lol.
