    apparently nothing :D

    because when braking your front tires are doing 80% of the work. the front also has most of the weight in a truck.

    now when accelerating, its just the rear wheels that are turning, add that with a bed thats empty and boom, spinning tires.

    i can put the best tires in the world on the truck and in wet conditions i can still spin them.

    just learn to drive the truck and/or add some weight in the back. just wait till you hit snow with no weight back there lol.
