45mph?
Your mechanic?
Warped rotors seem to be a common problem with Tacos, although I haven't had any problems with this personally. Out of balance tires, particularly if
4WD running oversized, will cause this, as well as worn / damaged suspension and steering components.Of course, I don't need to tell you that this is dangerous and that you shouldn't drive the truck until fixed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As Mike said.....warped rotors (which have been overheated in the past) is the likely culprit. The brake pedal pulsates since the brake pads alternately contact the rotor and don't contact the rotor. New or resurfaced rotors is the answer.
