Just picked up our new BL 2 door. Having shifted from a BS BL it seems like you need to press the brake pedal a lot harder. Assume that is normal for a larger vehicle but still seems a little excessive.

I wouldn't say you have to jam the pedal to the floor, but yes you'd probably push harder than a BS. All I can say is, thank god they don't put the F-150 brakes on these things, every time I tap the brakes in a F-150 I'm flying forward.

If it's a new vehicle, let the brakes bed in.

Brand new with 8 miles on it. That could be the problem.

What’s your engine? 2.3 has the vacuum assist while the 2.7 has electronic assist.
