Truck Stops Truck / Trailer Stops Trailer?
I didn't want to get off topic on the debate about the guy pulling the 5ver with a 1500, but the truck brakes being adequate was brought up, and I wanted to get some thought on this. Lets say there...

Nor does the truck brakes always stop the truck.
Same story here only my one ton DRW trucks brake pedal went to the floor with a fully loaded 18k triaxle GN flatdeck. The trailers brakes stopped the combo coming off the interstate in NM. Used the trailers brakes getting to a GM dealer. Brake fluid had boiled out which was not a rare event of that year model 454 GM trucks when towing heavy.
Moral of this story is trucks brakes sometimes don't stop the truck.
