2016 TE Brake Question

I've noticed that my '16 TE takes awhile to get up to speed, but once it does, it requires steady braking to get it to stop. Given this is my first 'truck'-style vehicle I've owned, I always assumed this is common and the brakes take some time to 'wear in'.

In a weird way to explain my experiences, it's like the brakes go from 'slow to bite to STOP!' with not much in-between. I've already panic stopped a couple of times, neither of which were intentional and find myself stopping well behind the vehicle in front of me because I'm not confident with the T4R's ability to slow to a stop properly. As you could probably guess, this makes for an awkward experience for passengers.

Has anyone else noticed something similar? Is it just me not fully used to how this thing brakes and eventually it will get easier?

It is just you, I find it perfectly fine and normal, and much better than any other car I have owned.

It is not going to be like a new BMW M series of course, but it is modern braking tech, not some old drum/disk combo from the 1990's.
 
I haven't had an issue getting mine up to speed and it brakes better than any of the other trucks I've driven.

New vehicle. New driving dynamics. Just need to get used to it over time and learn how your truck acts. Also, welcome to the wonderful world of 4Runner "brake assist".
 
Agreed. They take getting used to, just like how the go pedal and the transmission programming do.

Rest assured you have excellent brakes.
