Fender, you seem to be really taking offense. I don't think John ever intended for that but your not exactly being receptive. Let me try and reiterate.
You can absolutely get behind the wheel of a "Cummins version" as you call it and not push a single button. There won't be any cylinder deactivation. There also won't be an exhaust brake unless you push a button. Every time. You can press the exhaust brake button Everytime you get in it but unless you press tow/haul button the exhaust brake will likely not be as aggressive as you like.
If you tow alot you WILL have to press buttons each time the truck is started.
Either way, your pressing buttons. Seems like it's something you don't care for, and from the description of your nuances you will not be satisfied with another new Ram truck.
