12:24 that's why I switch to the "manual shifting" in those situations. In a 4runner when I'm driving down hill, I shift from 5th to 3rd gear and if I need to brake more, I shift to the second gear and that it's how I don't overload the brakes pads. I use this method even when I'm driving in the cities and that has saved me from having accidents in case I have to break suddenly. When you are shifting gears, you are breaking with the engine like a standard transmission car.
I own a 2001 LC. I'm coming from a '96 4Runner which IMO was almost perfect in brake/steering feel. Owned it for 20 years and added 200k to the 100k mi. I purchased it with. Went to a 2017 4Runner and my work truck is a 2007 Tundra. Brakes on the LC are the "touchiest" of all. Overboosted if anything, and certain magazine reviewers concur, but I'm ok with that . I had to replace rear pads around 7500k miles. Vehicle was a dealer demo with 3500mi. Not sure if he carried camping gear, rear basket, etc. but the brake proportioning valve had definitely worn the rear pads early. I have 45k on it now with no other issues. Have your brake system checked. It should stop on a dime like @jasonadkins6116 said.
Also own black 2021 LC heritage. I have it lifted, BF K02, rhino rack, bull bar, all kind of lights added, crazy horse rock slider. I gets lots of compliments. No issues with braking. Definitely not a daily. Range is like 200 miles.
LT285/60R18, bought from tire rack. Its a comfortable ride, however, I have not been able to go off roading. Rock sliders are by White Knuckle and they look nice.
I'm upset, I can't get the "unable to connect to Toyota App" on my entertainment center. Toyota doesn't seem to have a fix for it. They said the App is no longer supported on a 2021 vehicle!
I had a 2013 Land Cruiser 200 series. My brakes were good. You should have a Lexus dealer check it out. Why a Lexus dealer? Because Lexus repair shops have handled the equivalents in the GX and LX while most Toyota dealers do not know how to service LC’s.
