    Hilux brakes

    I have a recently purchased 2005 4WD SR Hilux and I’m less than impressed with the brakes.

    Not sure if it’s the norm for this model/year but it’s passed a recent WOF and I’ve had it inspected by a brake specialist who confirms that the system is working as it should. The vehicle is unmodified.

    Brakes are O.K when the vehicle is unloaded but that’s not what these vehicles are designed for. When towing or loaded I’m struggling to get it to pull up and the distance is greater than id like it to be.

    What can be done to improve braking? Pad upgrade?

    Cheers,

    Hayden
