The Tundra's parking brakes are the rear drum brakes applied by the foot lever in the cab. This application of the mechanical linkage actuates the self adjusting mechanism. It is easy to see this for any one who takes off a rear wheel and brake drum. Pull on the parking brake cable and watch the lever turn the notched adjusting wheel on the rear brake adjusters.

It is always possible that the adjusters are stuck which will allow the pedal to be pushed too far and feel mushy. This should be an easy fix by freeing-up the adjuster or installing a new one.
