I got the 4WABS and I'm quite happy with it. Mainly cause I feel it's
the best dynamic way to always have the right brake balance
(especially towing vs empty). I'm amazed at how well it worked on
snow (very straight & quick stops, albeit with loud buzz and clunks
when it kicks in. With 4000 lbs, I'll take all the help I can get and
I've been very impressed. I also have had it kick in on salt/sand
covered roads with the sound being the only clue the surface was
worse than you thought.
I ordered my truck in October and it took 7.5
weeks. My dealer also tried to talk me out 4WABS because he said it
would be harder to sell the truck should I back out. I liked it that
way (less chance of last minute "funny business" on their part like
we're sure to see with any R/T's IF they ever arrive like someone
offering more money under the table, etc... keeps you in better
conrtol of them trying to pull any fast ones :-)
