If this video sponsored by Chevy was using the Ram's settings in a unfair manner, I would expect Ram to perform their own test to show otherwise, but they didn't.
So by saying that, does that mean Ford is wrong since they did not come out and explain the Ram and Chevy videos of the frame twisting and that it had nothing to do with the actual strength of the frame like GM and Ram insinuated? Ford could have came out with their own test, but they didn't. What does that mean?

Yes the pre 2015 6.7 Powerstroke do have exhaust braking (your wrong), but is not as effective as the other brands.
Wrong! The 2011-2014 Powerstrokes did not have an exhaust brake regardless if Ford wants to call it an exhaust brake "function". They had an engine brake(since it worked inside the engine) that manipulated the valves to force exhaust gases into the air intake stroke to starve the combustion process. There is a difference between an exhaust brake and engine brake, and what Ford had was NOT an exhaust brake which is a restriction in the exhaust outside the engine to cause back pressure which has greater stopping force than the engine braking that Ford used.

I posted this older video that demonstrated the Chevy's exhaust braking performance being better than Ram since you were claiming foul play with the first video which may have been legitimate. The point is there has been two separate tests by different people that show the same results that doesn't support your position (perhaps your wrong again).
So you are the expert in Ram's exhaust brake? Really? Tell me how many miles have you towed and used Ram's exhaust brake? How many miles have you used both modes of Ram's exhaust brake to which mode works best in certain scenarios? If you actually towed with one then you would know that the trucks were in full brake mode that does provide that much braking. It is clearly seen by the icon in the first video and you couldn't even hear the exhaust brake(which you would have especially if it downshifted) in the second video. As I said before, go drive a Ram with 10k behind it while using the auto mode and you will know right then and there that the Ram in the GM promotional video was NOT in auto mode. Do you want me to drive up to Houston with my trailer one of these weekends so you can see for yourself?

Your other comments is not worth my time to even respond to. :R
Yeah you won't comment on it because you know it is true. Come on guy, even a blind man can see that you go out of your way in many of your posts just to get your jabs in on Cummins or Rams. To be fair, I don't like certain Ram guys here (they know who they are) who constantly go out of their way to piss on Ford's either.
