3rd Gen Concerns

Look man, if you think the current Tacoma stops well, I guess you haven't driven something that actually stops well. Feel free to continue to fanboy it up with the drum brakes, I'm done with this thread.

 

Model T dash... now we know where the round vents came and color accents

 

I think the current Tacoma stops. I think if I need to tailgate people and stop with enough force to break my neck I'll drive my M3.

I think having disk brakes on the back of a tacoma that's exactly the same as one with drums would make absolutely ZERO difference. ZERO.

 

Blue t. throwing distractions. LOL.

 

All these disk brake fanboi's....I wonder why they never thought for SOOOOO many years, why did cars have front disks and rear drums and never question why the rears didn't come with disks. For like 50 years. The market, the OEMS, could have spec'd rear disks at the same timeframe as they started spec'ing front disks....why did it take 50 years...to care. Because it didn't matter then and it doesn't matter now. Front or rear axle...it makes a difference on whether disks are appropriate or not. For everyday cars. In applications where any ole' tire will do as long as it's priced the same...

 

Ha ha its One piece of evidence because you failed to produce Second one that supports your "Drums are better"
I told you find me scientific study that proves drums are better.
Better mean more efficient at performing its function. There are not qualities in function. Something is better than other at performing a task or not better.
Here for example:
Conventional 900 lumens light bub is less efficient than LED bulb producing 900 lumens. Therefore LED bulb is better (uses less energy to produce the same amount of light) Main function of bulb is to produce light... LED is better at it.
Yes conventional bulb maybe cheaper but its not better.

What I am asking you is to provide scientific evidence of drum brakes being better (more efficient at their function of slowing down vehicle and preventing collision)

So far all I see is that Discs are better

You need to get out a little. Most of the cars are 4 wheel discs since beginning of 80's. In fact in last 20 years my only two cars I owned with rear drums were 1gen Tacoma and 2Gen Tacoma.
Heck my 1994 LC is 4wheel disc.

 

Still your same report that doesn't prove your case. Nobody needs to see the number of crashes in a video game.

Also, I didn't say that drum brakes are more efficient at their function of slowing down vehicle and preventing collision. So I can't provide evidence for something that you say, and yet remains undefined.

So again. Explain in what way, exactly, how disks are superior to drums. I want to hear it from you. HOW are they better.

MORE EFFICIENT means nothing.

If you said that an engine was more efficient then I would believe it meant something like uses less fuel for power provided.

But a brake converting Kinetic energy into heat, you need to define how one brake is better than another brake in converting that energy. That's like saying a 2x8 is more efficient than a 2x4. At what? lol.

 

You're so wrong there it's laughable. Like to see you prove that one.

Why don't you see if you can find how many passenger cars had four wheel disks in 1981. LMAO.

You might have had a plausible guess had you said 'beginning 2000's"

As I said you need to get out more.

 

You guys are only on Concern 4 from the OP. He has 10 concerns. Shouldn't you move on now to address his concerns? At this rate, you won't finish until the next redesign in 2026.

 

You found one car. You got a lot farther to go in your research scooter.

I dont' need to get out more to prove your warped hypothesis

So yet again, I ask you..

Explain in what way, exactly, how disks are superior to drums. I want to hear it from you. HOW are they better

The only thing I understand you to have said is that they are "more efficient" which doesn't reallly mean anything.

I patiently await your next herring.

 

In my experience, rear disks rust and accumulate deposits on the brake surface. I assume it's because they don't get used enough. I greatly prefer maintaining a vehicle with rear drums.

 

You found one car and it's not even the beginning of the 80's. My gosh your attention to detail boggles the mind!!

I'll even give you one...my 1981 Datson 200sx had rear disks.

 

But have you tested your drinking water ?

 

There's my next herring!

Ok back to the same question
So again. Explain in what way, exactly, how disks are superior to drums. I want to hear it from you. HOW are they better

 

I peak back in here and people are still arguing about brakes...sheesh.

 

Blue T, just say it, you know you wanna proclaim from the highest mountain that disk brakes have shorter stopping distances in every case on every vehicle. Go ahead.. say it. I dare ya.

 

blah blah blah
blah blah blah
muricah
blah blah blah
Blue T doesn't understand physics so he cant understand anything..
can't fix stupid.
done.

Brawndo still has electrolytes.
