I've been researching this option too, and still have questions regarding value. It sounds like the trucks that cost/benefit (=value) from EBPV are heavy loads and prolonged braking. If that's true, that means empty loads don't have a $400 investment value. Nor do short braking return a $400 investment.

I'm still trying to figure out if EPBV brake is overkill for running empty, and occasional long hills going over a mountain pass. The engine does seem to contribute some brake going down the hill in my automatic and in 2nd gear.

My goal is to not have to replace/turn rotors on a 4x4. I have no problem replacing pads.
