A real shakedown for the brake system means hitting a steep hill with a heavy load and feeling for any sponginess in the pedal. You want to accelerate to a decent speed, then stomp hard on the brake to trigger the anti-lock system and see how the vehicle holds its line. No clicking noises, no pulling to one side, and a nice, solid stop every time. That's how you know they're ready for anything.
