Your experience was atypical; it is possible that the system in your truck was broken.

you do know that proper braking technique can be learned for that; it's called threshold braking and steering; i've seen more cops use that then think abs will save your ass.
i bet you i can lock-up the wheels on an abs equip vehicle; in actual fact it's probably what caused me to turn 120 degrees and go into a building in the middle of summer.
