Tundra's front wheels are arrested by disc brakes, while the rear wheels are collared with what Toyota claims are the largest drum brakes in the segment. A load sensing proportioning valve adjusts the braking force of the rear drums to account for differences in payload. Gone are the days of standing on the brakes with every scintilla of one's strength to grind a fully loaded pickup to a rapid halt.
