Built for Real Truck Owners

The PowerStop Z36 series wasn’t designed for race cars or track days.

It was engineered for truck owners who actually use their vehicles.

Whether you’re hauling construction materials, towing a camper, pulling a boat to the lake, or navigating steep mountain roads, the Z36 kit provides the braking confidence needed when vehicle weight and momentum start working against you.

Vehicle Fitment

The PowerStop K6803-36 fits:

• 2015 Ford F-150 with Electric Parking Brake
• 2016 Ford F-150 with Electric Parking Brake
• 2017 Ford F-150 with Electric Parking Brake

Always verify fitment before ordering, especially regarding electronic parking brake configurations.

Why the Z36 Series Stands Out

Most replacement brake kits focus on restoring factory performance.

The Z36 is designed to exceed it.

Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads

PowerStop’s Z36 pads use a unique carbon-fiber ceramic compound that offers several advantages over traditional ceramic brake pads.

Benefits include:

• Increased stopping power
• Better fade resistance
• Improved towing performance
• Reduced brake dust
• Quiet operation
• Longer service life

The carbon-fiber reinforcement helps the pads maintain braking effectiveness under extreme temperatures while still remaining comfortable for everyday driving.

Drilled and Slotted Rotor Technology

Heavy trucks generate tremendous heat during braking.

The included drilled and slotted rotors are designed to manage that heat more effectively than conventional OE-style rotors.

Advantages of Drilled and Slotted Rotors

Better Cooling

Cross-drilled holes help dissipate heat during repeated braking events.

Improved Pad Bite

Slots continually refresh the pad surface, creating consistent brake engagement.

Debris Removal

The rotor design helps evacuate dust, water, and gases that can reduce braking effectiveness.

Reduced Brake Fade

Improved cooling means more consistent performance during demanding driving situations.

Perfect for Towing and Hauling

Anyone who has towed a trailer down a mountain grade understands how important braking performance becomes.

The Z36 kit was developed specifically for:

• Travel trailers
• Boat trailers
• Utility trailers
• Work equipment
• Off-road vehicles
• Fleet applications
• Heavy payloads

When additional weight increases stopping distances, the upgraded braking capability becomes a major safety advantage.

Excellent for Lifted Trucks

Many F-150 owners install:

• Larger wheels
• Oversized tires
• Lift kits
• Off-road accessories

These modifications add rotational mass and vehicle weight, increasing stress on the braking system.

The Z36 package helps compensate for those additional demands while maintaining predictable stopping performance.

Corrosion Protection

PowerStop coats its rotors with Silver Zinc Dichromate plating.

This protective finish helps:

• Prevent rust formation
• Maintain rotor appearance
• Extend service life
• Protect against harsh weather conditions
• Improve long-term durability

This is particularly valuable for trucks exposed to rain, snow, road salt, and off-road environments.

Easy Bolt-On Installation

One of the biggest advantages of the K6803-36 kit is its direct-fit design.

Installation Benefits

• No modifications required
• Factory mounting locations
• Included hardware
• Straightforward installation
• Compatible with OEM components

Whether installed by a professional shop or a capable DIY mechanic, the process remains simple and hassle-free.

Real-World Benefits

After upgrading to the Z36 system, many F-150 owners report:

• Shorter stopping distances
• More confident towing performance
• Reduced brake fade
• Improved pedal feel
• Cleaner wheels
• Better braking under load
• Greater overall driving confidence

These benefits become especially noticeable when the truck is being used as intended—working hard.

Warranty Coverage

PowerStop backs the K6803-36 brake kit with:

36-Month / 36,000-Mile Limited Warranty

That warranty provides additional peace of mind for truck owners investing in a complete braking upgrade.

Final Verdict

The PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit K6803-36 is one of the best brake upgrades available for the 2015-2017 Ford F-150.

With carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted rotors, premium hardware, and towing-focused engineering, this kit delivers a significant improvement over factory brakes without sacrificing comfort or daily drivability.

If your F-150 regularly tows, hauls, climbs mountain grades, runs oversized tires, or simply deserves stronger braking performance, the PowerStop Z36 kit is an upgrade you’ll appreciate every time you hit the brake pedal.
