Default Not freewheeling when foot off accelerator?

Perhaps I am going nuts but it feels like when I take my foot off the gas and I'm coasting, my 470 has some resistance that slows it down that it never had gradually slowing it down as I'm rolling down a hill for example. What could be causing this?

Probably a brake caliper or parking brake sticking/ hanging up. Some times the caliper starts to stick after you
drive for a while & heat things up.
