I just ran across this test and thought I would pass it on. It is very difficult to convey the difference disc brakes makes. Except to those who already have them.
1st test was no trailer and the truck empty.
2nd & 3rd test used a 16,000 lb. trailer, using electric brakes.
Canadian Standards Tests show the Titan Disc Brake System stopping a 15,500 lb. trailer in 179 ft. using trailer brakes only. No truck brakes were used in this test.
This 179 ft. is a 100 ft. shorter stopping distance than this test using truck and trailer electric brakes!

GO RAM!!! :woohoo: :woohoo:
If you find the web link for "Disc" brakes to compare, that would be great.
Thanks for digging this up.

The Ram is very close to Ford & GM on the empty and trailer brakes disabled. The difference in brake controllers must be the difference in the 2nd test.
