Exactly.69hahaha said:And as for accidents with cars that have ABS, alot of the times, it was because the person did not have knowledge of how the system works and freaked out when they felt the pedal pulsating and would let off thinking something was wrong.

The ABS system doesn't think it is "too easy to stop them" because that's not how it works (your profile says you're a Ford tech?). It works by sensing the difference in wheel speed. If the tires on your ranger are not on the ground you wont be stopping quickly whether or not you have ABS.69hahaha said:The back of the truck will hop very easily over small bumps and that will lift the wheels up just enough that the brakes feel it is "too easy to stop them" and want to apply the ABS due to the fact that it thinks the wheels are locking up (which they actually are) in a hard braking situation.
