I've read multiple threads about the lame brakes on the 2nd gen tacos, still have no idea on the fix our upgrade needed.

The issue I experience was pulling my very small hunting trailer that barely weighs 1000 pounds loaded. I was going down Vail pass (5-6%grade) and the brakes heat up so bad that they shaked violently even by barely pressing the brakes. This seems ridiculous for a truck that allegedly can tow 6500 pounds.

I've read multiple posts with people hatving the same issue.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction please!!!
