Mine squeal as well. Only in reverse. First time I noticed it was after I put it in the garage overnight after driving it in the rain. Backing out is the squeal. Squeal seems to come from front and rear tires. This AM they squealed backing out, so I kept backing down my driveway and pressing on/off again the breaks. 3 or 4 times pressing them and the squeal stopped. It never happens going forward thank god.
Happening for me as well — 24 FE, just over 1K miles, started noticing it after some rain so it's possible moisture is an issue. It's LOUD, but only happens in reverse.

We haven't taken delivery yet so I haven't heard this first hand, but the kind of squealing you all are describing is usually the pads vibrating in the caliper. Has anyone tried putting some damping compound on the back of their pads?
Yeah its super annoying. Started after 1600 miles. Will wait for a TSB.
Similar issues with Tundras over the past few years. Toyota strings them along telling them they are aware of the issue but nothing usually happens unless people get legal involved or really push the issue. Some people report having rotors and brake pads replaced fixes the squeak. Curious to see how Toyota handles this. I think they know a lot of people will just live with it if the brakes work as intended but are squeaky.

Brought mine home from dealer friday night, and this morning, i got the squeal backing up with wheels locked to driver side. Bummer
I have it too. It’s very loud and annoying. Happens almost every time I back out of my driveway during the first drive of the day.
Mine squeal as well and I thought I was the only one and I'm glad it's only in reverse otherwise It'd drive me crazy

Update from the GX550 forum on the same problem:

So what needs to be replaced, exactly? This is much louder than worn break squealing
If you ended up going to dealer, I’m curious to know what they said/did about this.

The couldn't replicate the issue so nothing was done.
