Are all Tacoma brakes so sensitive?

Same on my 2015 Tacoma TRD Off Road.

For me it's only a problem when I drive my wifes 4 runner for a while and then hop back in my Taco. Otherwise I get used to the way they are pretty quick.

I would rather have them too good then the other way around.

 

I have put 1200 miles on my 13' with 40k total on it. I'm still getting use to the brakes. Mine don't really start to engage until the pedal is 1/4 of the way down. When going down hill, I will pump this first 1/4 one time then they stop really well on the second depression. Weird but hey, it's all about the little quirks.

 

I now feel vindicated! Thank you!!!

 

Im glad they are. I saw a identical tacoma to mine on the highway the other day and wanted to give the guy a thumbs up. However I wasnt paying attention and didnt notice the car in front of me began to brake

 

I moved quickly through my "what can be done to make this better" phase regarding my brakes to my "I love my Tacoma and can live with the brakes" acceptance phase .....so I don't want to overthink things. Plus, my problems were absolutely resolved 100% when I put the Icon Suspension on. Before, even with low momentum the pads grabbing the disk caused everyone on board to launch out of our seats and bounce as well as front end dip and even a dash bash or two. I love Jedi Yota's sarcasm (Neil Degrasse Tyson) so it could be true that changing the weight made a difference but I'm pretty sure the inverse would apply in that momentum is increased in direct proportion to mass and velocity. In other words heavier would be harder to overcome which would have an impact on pad friction at the rotor which could serve to make the brakes less grabby ...but adding weight would also increase the compression and rebound from the momentum being stopped probably making it bouncier and rougher. The weight would make it less bouncy on take off but perhaps more extreme when stopping. Thinking through this a little more only convinces me that the suspension was the solution for what I was dealing with. Tire and suspension weight only adding maybe 30 -40 pounds per tire? The adjustability of the Icon system allows for different settings for rebound and compression as well as the pre load on the springs being different than stock. Mine is dialed in for my daily driving and is perfect. I'd like to think that I would have gotten used to the brakes or learned to compensate. Thankfully I'll never know but I'm glad to know its not just my Tacoma that had the issue.
