Correct answer
May be longer and requires more anticipation
It may be longer depending on speed, grip, load, gradient and brake condition. Anticipate manoeuvres and keep enough separation to stop the whole combination without a collision. Rain can reduce grip; large wheels do not guarantee a shorter distance. Braking distance differs from stopping distance, which also includes distance travelled during reaction. Mass alone does not establish that every combination always brakes worse than any car.
