I've never driven a dodge, but I think the 11-14 "exhaust brake" is a joke compared to the duramax I've driven for work.

I find it a little lacking, but have little frame of reference. Can one upgrade the turbo on a 11-14 and get better exhaust braking or is that all in the tuning and not avail?
Only reason for me to upgrade is to haul the toyhauler better, it goes up the hills just fine, down it can overrun.
FYI: finally got pricing on the '16, they want $62,600 for it and will only give me $40k for mine. For $22k I think I'll be keeping my '12 for a while longer. Though it just blew it's radiator and though this is a design defect, Ford will not stand behind it

You could do the 15 turbo swap and tune it in could you not? I definately notice the exhaust breaking on my 15, it could be better but it is definately there and could most likely be increased with tuning eventually.
Are you sure its a 2016? I havent seen anything about a 2016 being out yet.

Duramax exhaust brskes ate better than the other two. Id say fords in last place there. My dad has a 15 and its mediocre to shttiy on how it operates. I usually manualky downshift his to 5th and then it grabs if you are in tow/haul. The dmax, you start it, tap the tow/haul and drive if you let off the pedal it'll use the vanes to slow down. If you give it brake input it'll slam the vanes shut and downshift to slow the truck until you cease brake input. Then it'll hold speed waiting for throttle or brake input. +1 duramax.
