My truck was totaled because the brakes went after a car accident that shouldn't have been that bad. Because of the location of the brakes, my truck had to be totaled instead of fixed. If it had been more in the center instead of the drivers side it may have been okay. All brakes went because of the accident and there was no way to stop the truck besides putting it in park to get it to stop. IF YOU BUY THIS TRUCK, DON'T HAVE AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS THE SIDE HIT, OR YOU WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE TRUCK!
