Except that’s what is actually being compared.
I can roll down a 6% with a 6ton trailer behind the ole 4th Gen and basically never touch the brakes unless I want to call up a downshift, but I’m usually in manual anyways, and a new 10 speed gasser pulling my boat of about half the weight is on the hooks multiple times.
It’s not even an apples to apples comparison as the exhaust brake will win 10 times out of 9.
Where is it compared? When have you used a gas engine, with same displacement, on same hill with same load?
