Question:

What vehicles has the longest stopping distance?

A Empty truck.
explanation

The heavier the vehicle, the more work the brakes must do to stop it, and the more heat they absorb. But the brakes, tires, springs, and shock absorbers on heavy vehicles are designed to work best when the vehicle is fully loaded. Empty trucks require greater stopping distances because an empty vehicle has less traction. [California Commercial Driver Handbook]
