My 96 Ram had rear anti-lock brakes. I absolutely hated that when I 
wasn't towing or had an empty bed (i.e. most of the time). Having to 
make quick stops on bumpy roads just sucked. Nothing like having the 
brake pedal drop to the floor when braking just because I hit a pot 
hole. I came really close to taking out several idiots that way. The new 
Ram has 4 wheel anti-lock and I haven't had a problem with it.
