My Dakota brakes!

Stock baseline and follow up tests

After one stop on stock size tires my brakes were cooked and useless.

And my truck is one of the lightest out there, being a factory nonAC, no cruise, manual everything, 2wd, stick shift

A fully loaded 4wd Durango will easily weigh 800-1000 lbs more than mine. And I'm tipping the scales at 3900 with a full tank of gas and a 220lb driver... Yet the much heavier truck will have the same brakes

Very cool test!

I see different rims in each test group. Did the tires change between test too? If so, what was the specific before and after tire model/size.

Did anything else change between the tests like shocks, springs, etc?
