I have this funny conversation with folks all the time regarding my orange truck with the 301 Poly...”that must be nice the extra speed of the V8! Same speed, just gets there a little r jquicker & will pull a trailer better if one was so inclined. I disagree on the disc brakes mentioned below. Same speed, same weight...same as driving a stock truck & mine will lock up all 4 wheels at 60 with drums so I’m not sure how discs would help unless you’ve been missing leg day at the gym :)
If a guy was going to redesign the suspension on one of these trucks so that it was an off-road vehicle & was experiencing brake fade on the rubicon...I guess discs are an option but these are farm/utility trucks...not off-road vehicles.
I don’t see the point? They’re fairly expensive & you’re truck is definitely worth less with discs than stock drums. Seems like a bad decision according to my calculator.
