On snow, maybe I can see the logic of the origins of this thread. Because when I lived up yonder in the snow, my 7,130 pound truck, when it hit ABS in snowy surfaces, it felt like it sped up! I'm certain all 4 locked wheels would have stopped quicker.
But, maybe the ABS technology on the 2000 model just wasn't as good as they are now. I also know that when the ABS kicked in (I would force the ABS to activate occasionally so as to be familiar with what to expect) and I let it do it's thing, that I could stop quicker if I let off the brakes and then reactivated the brakes just short of enough pedal force to activate the ABS. In summary, that trucks ABS system was / is horribly ineffective on snow.
