You seem to be talking fords, but one major difference on the dodge is that the 3500 comes standard with a Jake brake. I have found this to work awsome when having the camper on, and pulling my boat. Between that and the tow/haul it really shuts her down w/o needing to get on the brakes.
All the 2500 & 3500 Dodge diesels have had an exhaust brake standard since 2007.5 when the new 6.7L Cummins diesels came out.

Either way the exhaust brake is an awesome tool to help you slow down your diesel truck.
