Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads
The biggest upgrade comes from PowerStop’s proprietary Z36 pad compound.
Benefits
- Increased stopping power
- Improved heat resistance
- Reduced brake fade
- Lower brake dust
- Longer pad life
- Quiet operation
The carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic formula provides greater thermal stability than many factory brake compounds, especially when towing or hauling.
Drilled & Slotted Rotor Performance
Heavy braking generates heat.
Heat creates brake fade.
Brake fade creates stressful moments.
PowerStop combats this with drilled and slotted rotors engineered for severe-duty use.
Drilled Rotor Advantages
- Improved cooling
- Faster heat dissipation
- Better wet-weather braking
Slotted Rotor Advantages
- Removes debris
- Clears pad gases
- Maintains pad contact
- Improves braking consistency
Together they help maintain braking performance even under repeated heavy braking situations.
Corrosion Protection for Long-Term Durability
The rotors feature a Silver Zinc Dichromate coating.
Benefits
- Rust protection
- Corrosion resistance
- Improved appearance
- Longer service life
Particularly valuable for trucks exposed to snow, rain, mud, road salt, or off-road conditions.
Built for Towing Confidence
Towing places enormous stress on a braking system.
The Z36 package was engineered to address common towing challenges:
Towing Benefits
- Improved trailer control
- Better downhill braking
- Reduced brake fade
- Enhanced pedal confidence
- More consistent stopping distances
While no brake kit can overcome physics, the Z36 system provides significantly more thermal capacity than many stock brake setups.
Surprisingly Civilized for Daily Driving
One concern with heavy-duty brake kits is excessive noise or harshness.
Fortunately, the Z36 package remains extremely street friendly.
Daily Driver Features
- Quiet operation
- Low dust output
- Smooth engagement
- Comfortable pedal feel
Your truck won’t suddenly feel like a race vehicle every time you stop at a grocery store.

Installation Benefits

- Hardware included
- DIY-friendly design
Most experienced enthusiasts can install the system over a weekend.

A strong warranty for a truck-focused performance brake package.
Final Verdict
The PowerStop K6803-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is one of the best brake upgrades available for the 2015-2017 Ford F-150. Its combination of carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted rotors, premium hardware, and corrosion-resistant finishes makes it an excellent choice for towing, hauling, off-road use, and daily driving alike.
If your F-150 spends its life working harder than the average pickup, the K6803-36 provides the stopping power, durability, and confidence needed to handle whatever you hook to the hitch.
