Rear wheel ABS is JUST designed to prevent rear wheel lockup when the truck
is unloaded, but still allowing enough brake bias towards the rear to be
effective when the bed is loaded... you should treat a RWABS truck just as
you would one without any ABS...
The function of most ABS systems (but not the RWABS) is to allow steering
while under hard braking... it really does NOT decrease stopping distances
over a good driver, but does allow better control when braking very hard...
I prefer to modulate my own brakes, but I have also appreciated the ABS on
some rental cars (had a deer run in front of me while in Minnesota)
