What is the consensus of BITOG folks about rear drum brakes?
I have never owned a vehicle with rear disc brakes so I cannot comment on rear disc vs. rear drum.
My 2013 Silverado has rear drum brakes and they seem to work just fine. I know that rear disc are easier to replace pads then rear drums, but I have never had to replace the shoes on rear drums on any car I have ever owned. I normally get rid of my vehicles at 100K or less, but when I look at the rear drum brakes they are still in good shape.
