New Frontier owner that just came from the Ford Ranger side.  I only miss one thing about that truck.....a firm brake pedal.  My truck is an '07 Frontier LE Crew Cab Long Bed.  The brakes are plenty strong, but after 2k of driving, I still haven't gotten used to it's squishy feel.  I drove a few other trucks that were the Std. Bed length and didn't really notice a soft pedal.  Maybe the extra brake line length needed for the long bed model causes the softer feel???  I thought about swapping out the stock brake lines for braided stainless ones, but wanted to see about getting some feedback on this from others first.  I'm not going to bother driving to the stealership to have them tell me that "they're all like that".  Does anyone eles have an unusually soft brake pedal?

I've got an 06 SE xcab with a firm pedal.  Every truck (manufacturer) is going to feel a little different.  Even using a different set of pads will feel a little different, but a squishy pedal is usually air in the brake lines.  In a sealed hydraulic system, you can have 200 feet of brake line and it will feel the same because fluids don't compress.  Air will!!!  Being an 07 I can't imagine you having a problem with air in the system, but considering some of the problems other guys (and gals) are having with their new trucks, nothing surprises me.  My recommendation would be to take it to your dealer and if they give you that song and dance, ask to drive one that's on the lot.  If the one you drive has the problem, then you can accept it. Then have your brakes bled out thoroughly.  I know it's been a month and a half with no other people replying to your post, but keep us informed.  No problems at all with my 06 at 30K!

Take care!

new pads and rotors might give the feel your looking for.  gotta be cheaper than braided line.
