Clunk from brakes and other issues

I recently got a 2020 TRD OR SBDC. It has performed great up until yesterday when I noticed something out of the norm with the brakes. First, there is a"clunk" sound which comes from the from the front brakes at times when the brakes are applied. Usually when the brakes are applied after the vehicle has sat for a while or the brakes haven't been applied for a while. Second, the brake pedal seems to go in further than normal at times and will come back up when pumped. The truck only has 1200 miles on it and we are not in cold weather where ice would be built up on the pads/brakes (south Alabama). I am 30 miles from the dealer and am going there in the morning but was wondering if any members might have a suggestion as to what is going on. I know this is not normal as this is my second 3d gen (2016) which never had brake issues and the new truck hasn't done what I described up until yesterday.

 

The "clunk" sounds like brake slap. Mine went away when I replaced the pads.

 

The double hardware spring also helps with eliminating this noise as the brake pads get thinner.

 

My slap seem axial. Reverse to drive etc.

 

These trucks are full of quirks and noises. No 2 are a like and even worse, there are no standards for describing said noises really.

 

Yap. No worried in the least. Thought I'd mention it for others.

 

Brake clunk is a thing with any vehicle. There has to be some play in the pads and shoes for them to actuate and not get bound up by brake dust or road debris. The main reason you notice it in a Tacoma, as opposed to other vehicles, is the trucks have very poor sound dampening. The composite bed basically acts like a big speaker amplifying the clunk and there is nothing to stop the sound entering the cab. The Tacoma interior has zero sound deadening materials in the doors or back wall. If you ever replace your door speakers you will be surprised to find nothing but sheet metal between you and the road.

My truck will clunk in the exact same scenarios as yours. Forward to reverse, or any time the truck sits a long time. I think when the brakes are cool it is more likely to clunk. In my case, it typically only clunks once.
