Tundra. The biggest/strongest brakes in its class. Plenty of power too, thanks to its 10.5 mpg!  Tundra is in between a 1500 Chevy/ F-150 Ford and 2500 Chevy/ F250 Ford. So basically, it is in it's own class. I have a Tundra and absolutely hate the truck. Too much plastic, radio sucks, steering is very loose.

So basically, it is in it's own class. I have a Tundra and absolutely hate the truck. Too much plastic, radio sucks, steering is very loose. I am a stereo installer by trade for 32 years. My stereo is basically pretty great (Focal and JL)! Just gotta gut it all and install quality stuff. And most of the plastic is gone too....I had our upholstery shop add a bit of suede in a few places. Steering is pretty bad.....I added a rear sway bar and that helps. But still kinda not right....yet.

Tundra. The biggest/strongest brakes in its class. Plenty of power too, thanks to its 10.5 mpg! Not anymore. Mine have 14.9" rotors. I do like Tundra, though. Best truck I ever owned. Did you change the proportioning valve and calipers too? That sounds pretty bad to the bone. Did you have to do anything to recalibrate the ABS system?

The rotors were one of the many things I liked about the Tundra, so it was definitely a selling point for me on the new 1500.

I'm on Suburban #8. I've owned several others SUV's but every time I buy something other than a Sub I regret it right away.
