"And if that's the case, wow. But still, when you slam on the brakes, don't your rear brakes lock up first?

"No. Why would they lock up 1st?"

If you dealt with snow they might. If you have more weight over the front axle than the rear and have similar braking performance on each the rear tends to lock up first.

Every pickup truck I have owned/driven liked to lock the rear drums before the front wheels.. It was not noticable on dry pavement, but you sure noticed in heavy rain or snow.
