Why? If a pickup is properly equipped it will have MORE brakes than what even a luxobarge needs. Trust me when I say the brakes on my F150 DWARF the STi's brembos in all regards. It kinda has to when the wieght it has to stop can top 15,000 lbs. The place you don't want to see pickup brakes is on the rear axle since pickups can actual run larger rear brakes than front if you have a auto brake bias system or ABS. I doubt there is many sportscars other than Porsches that see heavy rear wieght bias during normal operation.
