IDK, my truck isn't exactly modern, but it did not come with a vacuum reservoir. There is always residual vacuum in the brake booster though, enough for at least one stop.
I relied on that for a while, but an electric vacuum pump (and manual steering box) is really the way to go. Now EOC makes exactly zero difference to the handling and control of the truck in every way.
