Believe it. The weight is in the back, so when the van pulls to a
stop, the load on the brakes is closer to 50/50 than most cars, and
definitely closer than a Chevy van.

Any Vanagon that I have driven or ridden in stops NOW. If your van
stops slowly, you might have some fresh hot glazed brakes. Not cool.
