Will the new Ram 1500 diesel need an exhaust brake?
I have zero towing or hauling experience with a diesel engine and just wondered how important that kind of feature might be with this new 3 liter wonder.

Up until about 06 or so exhaust brakes were not common on pickups, especially with a automatic. Jump to 2011 and they are pretty much standard equipment across the board. Not sure about this new engine needing it, but it certainly would make for a less stressing drive.
