Default Swing keel 25

Matt, trucks have 2 brakes per axle, just like any car has, yes
they're bigger, but no bazoos anywhere. That is why , when loaded
heavy it takes 10 times the stopping distance compared to a car. Same
thing when towing a boat.

BTW, 80,000# is normal legal limit, however you can haul up to
117,500# legally with the same amount of brakes. And most have 400 +
hp. these days.

You know those 70+foot long 75,000# 18 wheel trucks that carry
everything? They have brakes out the bazoo, they watch their balance by
the axle and most are less than 400HP - think about it.
