I'm considering the exhaust brake, because I'm really disappointed with the factory braking of the truck. I was expecting better from a 1ton drw truck. My f150 towing the same trailer comparable loaded braked as well. I know the f-350 weighs 2k more but still it's a 1ton truck. I'm concerned with braking or lack there of in the mountains of WV. My last trip the brakes got a little hot and I had to keep dialing in more trailer braking. Do these trucks have a reputation for insufficent brake capacity. My trailer has brakes on 1 axle and gvw is about 3500lbs, the truck itself is empty when towing the trailer.
Diesel motors don't provide alot of back pressure for engine braking. Can't speak to the whys, somebody smarter than me will have to chime in.
