Why is the rev limiter so low on the 5.0?

I'm new to Ford trucks with a 2011 screw in tux black, 5.0, lots of goodies. With just about 5000 miles. I bet 99% of the time at take off the revs never get over 2000.
I've put my foot in it a few times to avoid other cars or pass and love the sound (I know the EB has higher numbers, but after driving both, the V8 was the one for me).
I was just thinking about the tach the other day and wondering when I would ever use the top 3000 or so.
Maybe someday...
