Our 2026 Hybrid sadly has ASS even in Sport mode JM

I bought the 4Runner for my wife and since we have a proper off road rig, I just wanted her daily driver to be safe as possible. We’re both used to powerful fade free brakes so she could easily need another 30-40’ to stop at 75-80mph especially in the wet which is frequent here in the Low Country.

Given the sealed nature of these transmissions, and the additional hybrid torque moving through the transmission, and the PITA procedure to check the fluid level, it’s very likely that many cars are delivered unchecked. It would be great if there might be a simpler solution that KNOWING that...

Repeating, I find the pedal mushy, requiring more travel than is comfortable. Hence I just bought new rotors and pads. No SS lines. We will see if thats all that’s required to improve my sense of linear, progressive and precisely adjustable brake pressure to hover above the ABS threshold. Not...

Many people enjoy complaining but once you get used to the safety, and certainty of what I’ll just characterize as Porsche Brakes, you realize how much safer you are, and how late you can brake, which is a huge advantage, especially in the snow and mud, where in many instances, avoiding the...

Seems like she’s equating aerodynamic CF with breaking distance, without regard to MPH, Pitch, Weight, and perhaps most importantly the rolling mass of the wheel/ tire combination. There’s a HUGE difference between slowing a 31” OEM tire and rim vs a tall heavy 37X12.50 KM03 BFG All Terrain...

Regarding brake squeal, in my experience, it stems from slower stop and go driving which builds up lots of brake dust that never gets burned off properly. Just as you have matt your fly by wire throttle after stop and go driving to reset the throttle to be unadjusted to the timid nature of that...

I’m with you. So I bought a 4 wheel kit of better drilled, slotted and dimpled rotors and higher friction CF pads for less than $600 all in with shipping. Will report back after Easter From Brake Performance JM

Having had multiple race cars(Won Pikes Peak Exhibition class 2012, 2cnd in Unlimited in 2014 behind Roman Dumas,) over 8 race bikes, and having run Baja, Goodwood FOS 2017, and continued track day events in Porsche’s primarily but not exclusively ‘(CT5-V ‘23 Blackwing with Carbon Ceramic...

Ok I misunderstood your suggestion. Yes we agree on using gears on steep off road terrain. Regards my concerns about the OEM brakes being adequate, I am more focused on Hwy driving, perhaps with a trailer, but in foggy wet conditions with lots of 18 wheelers across every lane. JM

If I understand you correctly, you are suggesting to not utilize the downhill descent crawl setting? I’m actually more concerned about towing on the highway on long descents in the fog & rain especially with 18 wheelers using every lane.

Mine is hybrid,OTT, SXTH Intake Intercooler Banks Pipes AWE exhaust so it’s significantly faster? And even without winches and camping gear, the brskes are marginal. I run 4 piston calipers on my RippMods SC JK 2dr Rubicon as its 1000.lbs heavier than stock and the 37” tires and real bead locks...

With Bigger Rims and Tires, the stock brakes are already challenged IMHO. Add more power and weight with overlanding gear, and the brake system is inadequate especially in mountainous or hilly terrain. What solutions are the most popular, effective, and affordable? Thanks JM

I’m a happy owner of the SXTH CPLT intake on our’26 TRD Off Road Premium Hybrid. I never view intakes as a standalone mod because enablng more, colder air, is necessarily going to create more hotter exhaust needing both greater Intercooling(waiting for the SXTH larger unit, to mate up to my...

Wow, that’s great information. That definitely sounds cumbersome. I was told the system may tend to work better in lower light environments but ease of use is critical. Ill. Be back

I’m planning on installing the G-On2 by F1rst, uding the Sony Starvis sensor, 2 channel, with iPhone connectivity. It was recommended by the guy that does our LASER/Radar stuff but if Im making a mistake please LMK Thanks in advance JM
