Have to disagree on your statement of the pre 2015 models not having much grade braking. The feature if amazing and we do a lot of mountain passes in our camping just within our state. Having come from a gas truck with no such braking feature, this is a piece of cake.
I fully agree. The engine exhaust braking on my 2012 6.7 holds speed very well coming down mountain passes. Take comments from a non-owner with a grain of salt.
X 3 for me. Although I no longer own my 2011 Ford with the 6.7L diesel, I felt it was an excellent vehicle for grade braking.
Mind you, I think the grade braking on my new Ram is even better than my previous Ford. But nevertheless, the Ford did just fine.
