How did you press the brake to the floor? On any brakes I know of you can only push a 1/2" or so NEW and have full braking, no more pedal give. Sounds like the master cylinder has a problem.

I guess I mis-stated that. I meant that pressed it close to the floor in order to mark the spot to drill. It really does seem to travel farther than it should.......
Took it to the dealer today. They checked it out and couldn't find anything wrong. It didn't set off any codes and they just told me to keep an eye on it.
I did pull the wheels off last night to inspect things and found that a metal piece on the front right rotor had jumped out of position. It is a piece that sits on top of the pads and kind of spreads the inner and outer pads apart, I guess. Anyway I put that back into position. I'm not sure if that was the problem and why that would cause both sides to brake?
For now, I guess I'll chalk it up to a coincidence that it happened a couple days after the test run of towing it. I've double checked everything on the towing component installation and can't see anything wrong. One thing I didn't do when towing is add a bungee cord from the seat to the pedal; I've now added that.
I guess I'm just going to be extra catious for a while and see how it goes.
