The EB is the same and works the same with a stick and the auto's in lockup in the newer RAM's. No matter how you slice it the CUMMINS EB is second to none. When I can hold back 34k on a several mile 14% downhill locked in 2nd without touching the brakes that says it all.
I will take cold brakes at the bottom over winning the race to the top.
The truck that has the capability to be first typically will give you a more easier pleasant towing experience.
Remember... Towing just got easier!
