It seems that my Ford Explorer may now have the same problem that many Tundra owners have, namely, severe vibration when braking. Is there a defect that causes the front rotors to ware very rapidly on the 2005 Toyota Tundra Double Cab SR5? Toyota at least in the past had great reputation for reliability and it is sad to read about this problem. If this problem is really wide spread, I may decide to buy a Ford 150 Lariot SuperCrew instead.

Brakes problem's on the Tundra on the first run was a joke and it was a serious problem and very much a Toyota tundra problem because it wasn't handled in the right manner.Toyota should have issued a recall on the 00-02 Tundra ..The 03 on Tundra's brakes were redesigned and for good reason the capilers themselves were the flawed part as note it was causing a lot of premature warping on the front Disk. The newed Improved brakes which I have On mine are ok however the tundra does require the pad's to be changed out every year...Either way good luck on what you get because this is one area I'll tell you I hate about my present truck is the brake's on lasting even kept my parent's for buying one too
..I aint hard on my brakes either it's just something very commen to this truck
