A big problem was the single circuit hydraulic system that could leave you with no brakes except the mechanical hand brake. They were usually referred to as 'parking brakes' and weren't convenient to operate. I lost the brakes twice. The first time was in a manual transmission car and I was able to get home using the gears and handbrake if I had to stop for a light. The second time was in the 2 1/2 ton Lincoln. I was close to work and there was a slight uphill grade to the parking lot and I was able to kill most of the speed. The dual systems are much better. I lost the front brakes on my pickup after a porcupine chewed through the hose. Coming down a mountain road was interesting since most of the braking power is on the front wheels but at least there was something. Even with fully operational brakes people who depended solely on the brakes on mountain roads could get a rude awakening when they overheated. Even with the AT in the Toyota I habitually shift down to 2nd or even 1st on grades. Modern ATs are much better. The early versions would freewheel.
