Different in an auto however, so at speed, I stay quite a ways away from folks.... in traffic, I tend to stay in a lower gear and keep some distance. Needless to say, I never go through brakes. I will probably go through a tranny first, heh.

Because of this, I have never had to put it to the test with a hard brake. In any weather. I never was happy with the operation of the VX ABS system. It always seemed a step behind me and fought me no matter what I wanted to do. Can't say I miss it.

The braking distance of the VX is a bit freaky,i also make sure to stay away from the vehicule ahead of me. For a 4000 + pounds truck the brakes aren't the best.

My ABS stoped working couple of months ago.
