Description of the problem	I was on my way to the building supply with the truck. I was towing a small utility trailer. As i approached a fairly sharp curve i applied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor. The truck brakes were gone without warning. The trailer brakes locked and slowed the vehicle enough to get safely through the turn. I relied on the trailer brakes and the transmission to complete the trip and get the vehicle safely home. When i got home i called the dealer and had the truck towed there for repair. The dealer said that the failure was due to badly worn brake pads causing the calipers to overextend and a caliper piston seal had failed. Pads on all 4 wheels were badly worn. It was the left rear caliper that failed. I do not understand how the brakes can be this badly worn after only 21,000 miles.
