Default 2021 1500 5.3 Engine Braking

My 2021 Siverado always feels like it is applying a slight amount of engine braking when I let off the gas pedal. Instead of coasting with the enigne at idle the engine stays at about 1100 rpm and you can feel the vehicle decelerating a little quicker than if I shift to neutral. I tried various combinations of traction control, grade braking on and off etc but to no avail. Maybe this is normal but it just doesn't feel right - any thoughts?

Thanks

best bet is to drive another truck with the same build and compare.
