    Read a number of older threads and mostly people saying they had the same issue but didn't see any solutions proposed.
    2022 SR5 V6 4WD with 35k on the clock. New to me about one thousand miles ago. Since the front pads look brand new I am assuming the dealer replaced them being it was a certified used sale.
    Finding the brakes rather grabby at low speed and very difficult to come to a smooth stop.
    Is there a maintenance procedure or pad/rotor/drum combo or just a "feature" of the truck?

    Had a similar issue with an Accord that saw improvement after rear calipers were replaced due to sticking

    Best guess would be a small dab of grease or oil on the pads when installed. Mechanics' greasy fingers or gloves when they were installed would do it. It doesnt take much. Suggestion would be remove pads and give a light sanding and replace.
