    Foglights are for fog, not oncoming traffic!
    ABS is computer generated threshold braking.
    In Skip Barber and karting, we practice threshold braking because we can and use it.
    In these trucks, with the lame braking system and sloppy suspension, you are not going to effectively t-brake.
    Might as well learn and use ABS.
    I do wish it had a disable button for gravel and snow.

    I somewhat agree with it being har to threshold with the braking and suspension, but I do disagree on the ABS being computer generated threshold. It locks and unlocks causing you to increase the distance it takes you to stop each time it locks. It may be on threshold when the computer unlocks it, but it is in a skid while it locks
