Do Anti-Lock Brakes Suck?

I think straight line stability can be maintained, even in a pick up truck , without ABS. Is it easier with ABS? Yes. Does it take longer to stop? Yes. My $.02.

i personally have never felt the need to have abs brakes on any of my cars. i have driven my vintage cars around the country in various weather conditions including ice and snow, and through the remnants of a hurricane, and i have never had any problems with stopping, even pulling a trailer.
