Long brake pedal travel

[Hill Billy]

Hi. I have a diesel Trialmaster and surprised by the long brake pedal travel and how soft it feels. Not sure if that's normal for this vehicle or there's an issue with mine. Would welcome any thoughts / experiences

Nar mate it has a reasonably long travel, and it brakes well through the full range. It is far superior having longer travel than short on a nearly 3T vehicle.

No I don't have a long brake pedal travel, but that said not short travel either though. Just as a comfort factor I would check the brake fluid level.

To tell and compare one should now what "long" and "not long" is, best by measuring.

I tend to agree. It's about the same as my last pickup but doesn't have that sharp feel.that some cars have.
No cause for concern.

It’s not a gripe, but I HAVE noticed that throughout the first 500 miles of break-in my brake pedal travel has, in fact, lengthened. Performance is the same though (no drop-off there). I’m a US/LHD/Petrol owner. Wish I could quantify this a bit better, but I’ve just not seen it as a “problem” as much as an observation. I may check the fluid level, but that’s it. If I see aftermarket pads out there in a year, I may upgrade. - Mark
