re: Vehicles with Disc and Drum brakes??

are drum brakes still being used on regular automobiles?

Without doing any Google searching for later vehicles, I can say with confidence that atleast until 2006/2007, Chevy trucks were using disk on the front and drum in the rear. Outside of potential cost reduction, there may be some benefit to drum but disc are usually more reliable.
