I do not think much of TFLs exhaust brake reviews.
They have a narrow set of "rules" for it. If the truck doesn't fare well under their rules, it gets a bad score...The do not read the manuals to see how each trucks EB is setup to work.

I agree. I towed at 24,500 combined with my 2015 RAM 3500 and always ran the exhaust brake in that manual mode and selected my descent gear myself and seldom had to use my service brakes. We are talking Western states and many passes to cross. The thing about relying on the truck to do it all, is it does that have eyes and the ability to see and process what is occurring up ahead.
