Why Upgrade to Z36 Truck & Tow Pads?

Factory pads are fine—until you:

• Load up gear
• Hit trails or hills
• Tow anything heavier than your ego

Then you start noticing:

• Brake fade
• Reduced stopping power
• Inconsistent pedal feel

The Z36 pads fix that with:

• Better heat resistance
• Stronger initial bite
• More consistent braking under load

Z36 Truck & Tow brake pads has superior stopping power that is demanded by those who tow and haul, as well as the off-road enthusiast.

Vehicle Fitment (Front Pads – 6 Lug Applications)

Compatible with:

• 2003–2009 Lexus GX470
• 2003–2009 Toyota 4Runner
• 2007–2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser
• 2001–2007 Toyota Sequoia
• 2005–2022 Toyota Tacoma (6 Lug only)
• 2000–2006 Toyota Tundra

(Always confirm lug configuration—because Toyota loves variations.)

Any time you add weight to a vehicle by hauling a load, towing a trailer, or simply adding a larger wheel/tire combination, you change the operating conditions of your stock brake package. Those operating conditions may exceed the ability of the stock braking components. But don’t worry, Z36 pads provide the extra stopping power to bring your rig to a halt quickly! They are made from premium stainless-steel shims, which provide better heat dissipation & virtually noise-free braking. Power Stop’s Z36 truck and tow brake pads are low dust designed to maximize stopping power and keep those wheels clean!
