I'm very familiar with stopping on the concrete apron in front of my garage, and the truck would not let me stop. It only acted up the one time....but that was enough to convince me that ABS might not be quite all it's cracked up to be. Putting software between me and what it is I'm trying to control, is not something I really desire.

Incidentally, some trucks only have ABS on the rear wheels (individually or together).... You may not have even had ABS on the brakes that were doing the most work (the front ones).

This truck has full ABS. Several years later something acted up and the light comes on occasionally, so we just removed the fuse for the ABS unit and the trucks brakes work like normal brakes now.
I drive overpowered, underbraked cars, I have for decades, and none of them have ever not let me stop in my own driveway.
