I *LOVE* the parking brake setup. Living here in the mountains, I continually kill my parking brakes. Not only just from regular use, but also (and mostly) from forgetting that it's on. I never have that problem with any of my hand-brake parking brakes in my manual cars, but with automatics and foot pedal brakes I always forget they're on. With the Ram, I never have to think about it except if I try to take off without putting my seat belt on. Beyond that, I love that this thing takes care of that for me.
With a manual, your mindset is always using the parking brake and most manuals have a hand parking brake so it's right there in your face. With an automatic, you just don't think about it - or at least I don't. I think I redid the parking brake on my Titan twice and the cable was stretched at the end of its life the last time I had it done, so next time would mean replacing the cable.
If this one uses the actual pads that's even better. On my Titan it had a pair of brake shoes inside the rear rotor, which had a drum on the back side of it. They were real spindly things and they wore out fast even if you didn't drive off with them on. And it made life a lot more complicated dealing with the rear brakes.
