Can I use an em dash to embellish the last word of the original thought?

Examples:

I spent my career driving a Ford F-150—the most reliable truck ever produced!

The new method is setup for autonomous learning—the byproduct of which is self-discipline and independent thought.

Can you do it? Of course, you just did.
Will your readers understand it? I believe so.
Is that construction approved by the official grammar board? There is no such board.
Must you use an em dash for this? No, you could use a comma.
