Now here is a sensible person! DOT 3 is all that is needed in a street driven production vehicle. Yes, you can use DOT 4 or expensive racing fluids, but why? Most people here don't race their trucks or pull large trailers down steep mountains. If you do, then go for the expensive stuff it's cheap insurance.
But if it's just an everyday driver that hauls a load now and then, use the plain old DOT 3, change it out every brake job and that's all that's really needed.
