7.3 Coasting Speed

Howdy Yall,
I've been wondering this for a while but just got around to posting it. How well do yalls trucks coast? Mine seems to lose speed pretty fast (not like braking though) if I let off the accelerator and just coast. In contrast, my girlfriends F150, the 30,000 lb bus I drive, and most other vehicles seem to coast forward very easily and not lose much speed. Is it just a side effect of such a large engine? Tires? I don't think my brakes are dragging either.

Any input?

Thanks
