    Brake pedal has a little bit of feedback through it. Truck only has a 150 miles on it, and it's stopping fine, but I get a bit of pulsing, especially when I first shift into drive after a cold start.

    The actuation and stopping is smooth and linear, just a bit of feedback through the pedal. Normal?

    My '16 sport did not do the same thing.

    I recently tried out all the crawl control modes and MTS and all that jazz just to make sure everything worked. The brakes howled and screamed like they were ready to leave the earth, but I gather that noise is normal from what I've read. I can't remember if the pedal was doing what it's doing now before I tested everything.

    On a side note, it took a while for the locker to engage for the first time. Is there a schedule where it should be exercised to keep it functioning properly? Used to having ARBs in other vehicles and they just always kinda worked.

    Last but not least, is there any way to get the locker to engage in 4hi? There's plenty of scenarios where you might want it locked and not have the speed limitation in 4L

    As per the manual, negative.

    The OR E locker is finicky. Most will advise you to get it locked up before putting yourself in a position where you're going to need it.

    Normal. Even my wife thought it felt funny when she drove it the first time. Got home and told me “the brakes feel funny”

    Also the TRDOR and TRD Pro have a hydra boost brake system vs. all other models having vacuum boosters, so they will feel different.

    not unusual ' off road ' vehicles have ' soft ' pedals

    most favorable when decending indict/loam

    clay.......gravel

    the direct benefit is wheels dont lock up/skid not allowing steering

    most of my mileage= HI-WAY !!!

    ive made several URGENT stops..................braking power IS there tho

    i race

    actually have several vehicles equipted with ' BREMBOs '!!!!!!

    sharp full Firm pedals Great stopping power

    i noticed straight away the soft pedal yet i found Full Braking Power

    Electronic vacuum pump specifically for brake system makes it feel a little weird compared to 'normal' pedal feel
