In cases like that, use your transmission (i.e. downshift) so your brakes don't have to work so hard; you'll get a lot less brake fade. That's why the farm truck had no problem - - he was using his gears, not his brakes, to do most of the work.
Also when you do need the brakes, use them and then get back off, allowing them to cool. Don't just "ride" the brake pedal constantly.
I don't know about the "touring" but I did quite a bit of mountain driving last fall in my "C" and I found the brakes to be more than adequate for the car.
