Disc brakes aren't necessarily better in every application. A tractor trailer doesn't have the first disc on it. Disc brakes don't have the required surface area to stop something that big of course we are talking at least 60,000 plus pounds. My camaros rear disc pads don't hold up anyway. Whether the truck has disc brakes on the rear or not, if the truck stops quicker and the pedal feel is better then the brake system is better. Although the public won't perceive it that way. Maybe the General should air some commercials testing their new braking system against the competitors if its better. Or maybe they are just trying to add more options to the truck such as disc brakes to help make up some of the lost revenue from the incentives black hole.
