Default Parking Brake Adjustment
What is the procedure for adjusting the parking brake shoes on a 2011 Rx 350? How many clicks from tight should it be?

This could all be solved so easily with an electronic parking brake that takes up the size of a button. Maybe Toyota will catch on to the luxury automakers with the next RX.

The new NX has an electronic parking brake.

Had it on our 2011 Buick LaCrosse. Loved it.

It seems there are MANY advantages to the electronic parking brake other than just pushing a button to set the brake. This may have to move up on our list of things to look for in a new car. The RX may have it by the time we are looking again.
