Funny you say this. I got a buddy that has a F100 Ranger. Has a 427 in it now and still just rear wheel drive. After the motor got dropped in and fired up was time for the first road trip. Mind you this has drum breaks all around. Well getting up to 90 mph was in record time but.... Oh crap these breaks are not going to cut it. They fade so fast and I could drag my foot and stop faster. Well the fix was a little more involved. Used the complete front end of a Granada if I remember right. Did aftermarket rear disc later on. Man that truck is crazy fast though!I just wasn't about to buy a brand new 2019 vehicle with drum brakes. Wasn't going to happen. It's weird how Toyota keeps defending their drum brakes too... It's like someone in the 80's bought a ten million sets of them and thought "Let's get in on this bulk deal, there will NEVER be a time that these go obsolete".
They just keep doubling down on their crappy 40 year old brakes and I don't understand why. I probably would have bought a taco too since I wanted a manual, but with so much of their antiquated technology I just couldn't do it.
