• Travel trailers

• Work trucks

Unlike standard replacement brake pads, the Z36 system is designed to maintain braking performance under demanding conditions.

Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads

The heart of the Z36 system is PowerStop’s carbon-fiber ceramic brake compound.

Why Carbon-Fiber Matters

Traditional ceramic pads offer low dust and quiet operation, but they can struggle under heavy loads.

PowerStop reinforces the ceramic formula with carbon fibers to improve:

• Stopping power
• Heat resistance
• Fade resistance
• Pad durability
• Heavy-duty performance

This gives truck owners stronger braking without introducing the noise and dust often associated with aggressive metallic compounds.

Drilled and Slotted Rotor Technology

Braking generates heat.

A lot of heat.

When towing or descending steep grades, rotor temperatures can rise quickly and lead to brake fade.

Benefits of Drilled & Slotted Rotors

Improved Cooling

Cross-drilled holes allow heat to dissipate faster than traditional solid rotor designs.

Better Debris Removal

Slots help clear brake dust, water, and gases away from the pad surface.

More Consistent Braking

The result is improved pedal feel and braking consistency under demanding conditions.

Enhanced Appearance

Let’s be honest—drilled and slotted rotors also look far better behind aftermarket wheels than plain factory rotors.

Perfect for Lifted Trucks

Many F-150 owners upgrade to:

• 33-inch tires
• 35-inch tires
• Lift kits
• Heavy bumpers
• Overlanding equipment

All of these modifications increase vehicle weight and rotational mass.

The Z36 system helps offset those added demands with stronger braking performance and improved thermal management.

Corrosion Protection

PowerStop applies Silver Zinc Dichromate plating to the rotors.

This protective coating helps:

• Prevent rust
• Extend rotor lifespan
• Improve appearance
• Protect braking surfaces
• Maintain performance in harsh climates

For trucks exposed to snow, rain, mud, and road salt, this added protection is a major benefit.

Simple Bolt-On Installation

The K3167-36 kit is engineered as a direct-fit replacement.

Installation Benefits

• No modifications required
• Factory mounting locations
• Included hardware
• DIY-friendly installation
• Professional-grade fitment

Whether you’re installing them in your garage or at a repair shop, the process remains straightforward.

Real-World Performance Benefits

Drivers upgrading to the Z36 system commonly notice:

• Improved stopping confidence
• Reduced brake fade
• Better towing control
• More consistent pedal feel
• Cleaner wheels

• Improved durability

These improvements become especially noticeable when towing or carrying heavy loads.

That coverage reflects the company’s confidence in the durability and performance of the Z36 Truck & Tow line.
