Cost is the most likely reason. That being said, drums work just fine. Especially since we are talking a mid sized pickup.

I really do get baffled at why people get hung up on rear drums. It's not a big deal, if it had discs, you probably would see a dramatic change in braking.

Front brakes are a different story.

Well, we don't rent pigs, and it's better to say it right up front because a man who does like to rent pigs is — well, he's hard to stop.
