Brakes tightening up just before stopping

I know there's a lot of folks that have rough downshifts and clunks (I have both), but even when I put the truck in neutral coming to a stop, I occasionally get a much stronger response from the brakes right before I come to a stop without adding any additional pressure to the brake pedal. Any ideas? I have a 17 TRD OR 4x4.

 

I know you will not like to hear this but it is normal, the Off Road has a weird electro/hydraulic brake booster and it just takes time to get used to it, the first time I drove mine I almost put myself thru the windshield.

 

lol shocker... it's just inconsistent which makes it annoying.

 

Good to know, been getting yelled at by my GF regularly for slamming on brakes.

 

Switch seats

 

all drum brakes do this, and so do most soft pads, at least all the ones I've driven, and the brake booster amplifies the effect. there is a perfect solution... brake modulation - with your foot! feel the grab come and gradually release the pedal. it's how to drive her!

 

do you think the 16 limiteds have the brake booster also>>?? I feel something but I think i'm feelin the gears in the tranny downshiftin. thanx

 

Not unless you have Crawl Control or ATRAC.

 

I'm 7k miles in and still getting used to the brakes

 

No crawl here but thanx for info. limited Does have all the other bells & whistles & i'm lovin it.

 

You also could be feeling the transmission downshifting with the torque converter locked up.. it's annoying but you learn to compensate

 

I have the TRD Sport and have the same problem with the "clunk" and harsh brakes, drives me crazy man. Wish there was a solution.

 

Keep driving. Break in period is ~1000 miles for the tranny to learn your habbits. Same issues happened to me. 1k on the dot, problems magically gone. Shifting issues disappeared entirely.

 

I wish that was my solution... Im already over the 5k mark!

 

drive...less....
