Stock brake system versus brakeless trailer towing. Is 1st Gen up to it?

Hard braking warps rotors. Drop the hammer & go through or over obstacles.

 

my truck came with aftermarket trailer brakes so it can prob stop stuff fairly well, however you must remember its not just the load but length that can be an issue. How the weight is distributed is also an issue. I recently bought my rig to be a work rig, there are not many straight panels on it, with p. o a long trailer started fish tailing, threw him into guard rail on left and then into ditch on right...all side swipes...after that experience he bought a 2014 tundra.

 

No offense taken. I just remember how shitty any GM truck's brakes were once you break into the mid-late 1970s. Similar year range in GM trucks to our FGT, not even a contest. The Sierra I gave up before buying my 1st gen took its sweet as time to brake and pedal was mushy as hell. And it was super low mile. I rebuilt everything trying to resolve it, but it's just what it was. My non-power-brakes '68 C10 had better braking.
