This is what the Cummins Home page advertises for the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel and braking horsepower. An I quote" The Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel continues to offer the most powerful integrated exhaust brake available in a heavy duty truck. Cummins best-in-class integrated exhaust brake, with a full 225 braking horsepower at the wheel, gives Ram Heavy Duty pickup customers more confidence while towing the heaviest loads down the most severe grades. "
I have towed my 5er in the Black Hills in SD and the Appalachian Mountains and hardly have use my wheel brakes to hold the truck and trailer at speed. I feel very comfortable with the Cummins engine. Another feature that I like about the Cummins is you do not need to use Tow/haul mode to activate the Exhaust Brake. I use mine all of the time when driving the truck, in fact Cummins encourages you to activate the brake to help keep the VGT clean.
