They do...but it depends on the year of the truck and the manufacturer whether you need to add one to the truck...GM now has one standard... http://gmauthority.com/blog/2015/03/gmc-explains-how-its-diesel-exh...

Got one on my new 13 dura max, I love it, keeps speed where I set it. If only I would remember to push the button and turn it on when I travel

. Wish it had a default setting so it could automatically set to be on when the truck is started, rather that having to "remember to turn it on"...

Yes the exhaust brake on pick ups is a great idea! I used mine today as a matter of fact. 2012 Dodge 3500 duelly hauling 16,000 lbs. on a 2 mile 8% grade hill. using tow/ haul mode and the exhaust brake kept us at 40-45 mph and I touched the brakes maybe twice the whole time.
