The brakes themselves are probably fine.

Toyota uses soft NAO brake pad material on its cars.

If you want more bite and heat fade resistance, use semi-metallic brake pads and upgrade the fluid to DOT4 LV.

Ignore the white label Chinese sourced stuff like "Power Stop/Brake/Break/Dragon".

Not sure on your towing numbers but towing a race car and other equipment seems like it would be too much for the 4Runner and keeping it within safe boundaries for handling and braking.
The car is 2900lb, the trailer is 1550 lb open deck and tools/fuel may be about 100lb well within all limits of the 6th gen 4runner

I also have mine for a year, have close to 50 yrs. driving experience including heavy equipment and have built custom extreme rock crawlers including the one below and I can tell you, these brakes are not ideal.

I also have found some people like to post without ever adding any content. (In General)

I have no issues with the stopping power off my 4Runner. It doesn’t matter how many years eaperience you have with rock crawlers and heavy machinery. You just posted a picture of a Dodge. That’s enough for me to disregard anything you say lol
