Fitment Compatibility

The PowerStop Z36-2173 Front Brake Pads fits:

• Cadillac Escalade
• Chevrolet Silverado 1500
• Chevrolet Tahoe

Perfect for:

• Daily drivers
• Tow rigs
• Luxury SUVs

Especially vehicles running:

• Larger wheels
• Heavier tires

Product: PowerStop Z36 Extreme Truck & Tow Brake Pads

PowerStop Z36 truck & tow brake pads are engineered for drivers who demand more from their brakes. Whether you’re towing a trailer, hauling heavy loads, driving through mountainous terrain, running oversized wheels and tires, or driving around town, this complete brake upgrade delivers the stopping power and durability your truck or SUV needs

Built for Truck & Tow Applications

The PowerStop Z36-2173 Front Brake Pads is engineered specifically for:

• Aggressive daily driving

Helping improve:

• Brake bite
• Pedal feel
• Fade resistance
• Loaded stopping performance

Perfect for:

Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Compound

The Z36 pads use:

• Carbon-fiber ceramic friction material

Benefits include:

• Better thermal resistance
• Improved stopping power
• Reduced brake fade
• Lower brake dust
• Longer-lasting performance

Especially important on:

• Heavy SUVs
• Large trucks
• High-speed highway driving
