So big trucks have bigger brakes becasue they have so much power you can drive faster....than what? A bicycle?
My big truck with big brakes was not only a turd for power without a tuner, it's also geared to redline in 6th by 100mph and anything over about 85 is uncomfortably high rpms for cruising.
Must be why it has big brakes. Orrrrrr because it's designed to haul and tow big stuff.
Now our car has even bigger and better brakes because it IS designed to go real fast and yes it'll stop quicker than 99% of the cars on the road, yet it's not designed to tow anything.
So maybe, just maybe, the slow truck has big brakes to stop more than just itself.
But what's safe? No matter how good of brakes I put on the truck and trailer it won't stop nearly as quick as the car,nor most cars, even one with "average" brakes.
