I just bought a 2001 Toyota Tacoma sr5 and drove it about 60 miles to my house.I gave it a good bath and decided to take a friend of mine for a ride we went about 20 miles and the rear brakes locked up we tried everthing but couldn't get them unlocked so I called a Tow truck he came about a hour and a half later,as he was pulling the truck up on the flatbed all the wheels were moving didn't seem to be anything wrong I just about made it home and they locked up again went about 15miles had another two to go so I left the truck there and walk home. The next morning I went and got the truck and I drove it the rest of the way home.Has anyone had this problem?

Well I found the problem I change the rear flex hose, stop it from locking up but when you step on the brake hard it would bring you to a slow stop so I had the master cylinder rebuilt and now it runs like a new truck.
Before I bought the truck I notice the cylinder was empty I guess they just filled it but because it was empty the seals had dried out.
