Soft brakes and fluid flush tool

I always feel that 4Runner’s brakes are kind of soft and not sensitive enough. Although it has plenty of power to stop, just to press the pedal harder. My 2016 SR5 is like that front brand new. I like to have tight brakes to have better control. I recently flushed my brake fluid and replaced brake pads at 60k miles but it feels the same way. Anyone has the same concern? Any better recommendations on brake rotors and pads that work better?

When I replace the fluid I used a small tool kit to suck the fluid from bottom. But I like the pressurized method that you connect an adapter to the fluid reservoir to hold 15 psi then just release the bottom hose to let the oil out. I did it for my Merceds and it worked great. The brand I used is Motive Amazon.com

However, they don’t have adapters for Toyota, only for European cars. Has anyone purchased a similar tool that fits Toyota’s brake fluid reservoir?
