Hey Bruce,
I ordered the 4-wheel ABS system with my truck ($500 MSRP, $425 Wholesale).
I would highly recommend getting this option. I reported about a month ago
an incident I had where a young girl rode out in front of me on her bike
while I was doing about 40 mph. I slammed on the brakes. There was no
lock-up, no pedal vibration, and the truck stopped quickly and in a straight
line. I know if I had been driving my 89 T-bird (no ABS) that I would have
hit the girl. The system works great and I think it would be especially
beneficial on wet surfaces, although I have yet to have to use the ABS on a
wet road. Good luck with your truck! I really love mine!!
