Vehicle Fitment

• 2008-2021 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series (URJ200/UZJ200, 4WD, 4.5L Twin-Turbo V8 Diesel 1VD-FTV / 4.7L V8 Petrol 2UZ-FE / 5.7L V8 Petrol 3UR-FE) - Front
• 2008-2021 Lexus LX570 (URJ201, 4WD, 5.7L V8 Petrol 3UR-FE) - Front
• 2007-2021 Toyota Tundra 2nd Gen (USK57/UZK57, RWD/4WD, 4.0L V6 1GR-FE / 4.6L V8 1UR-FE / 5.7L V8 3UR-FE) - Front
• 2008-2022 Toyota Sequoia 2nd Gen (USK65, RWD/4WD, 4.6L V8 1UR-FE / 5.7L V8 3UR-FE) - Front

Fitment Notes

• 2016-2017 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series: Two front rotor diameters were used across markets - Mexico-market vehicles used a 340mm front disc, while USA-market vehicles used a 353.5mm front disc. Both rotor sizes are compatible with the DB1838XP pad shape. Confirm your rotor diameter if unsure of market origin.
• Toyota Tundra fitment covers the 2nd Generation platform (2007-2021). The 3rd Generation Tundra (2022+) uses a different pad fitment and is not covered by this part number.
• Due to multiple brake packages available across these platform generations, DBA recommends cross-referencing existing pad dimensions against the DB1838XP pad shape diagram before ordering to confirm compatibility.
• Recommended rotor pairing: DBA 4000 Series T3 or 5000 Series T3 slotted front rotors for maximum braking performance, particularly under towing loads or with heavily loaded/upgraded 4WD configurations.

Features

• Semi-metallic carbon fibre-enhanced friction compound delivers high initial bite and friction consistency from cold start through extreme operating temperatures - critical on the Land Cruiser 200, LX570, Tundra, and Sequoia platforms, which are among the heaviest production vehicles in their respective segments and generate substantial front brake loads under towing, loaded highway, or off-road braking.
• G-G class friction rating (0.45 average mu from low to high temperatures) - a meaningful step up over OEM-level F-F rated pads in terms of braking force per unit pedal pressure, translating to shorter stopping distances under all conditions, particularly when the vehicle is loaded or towing at or near maximum capacity.
• Optimal braking consistency maintained up to 550°C (1022°F) - the thermal threshold required to handle sustained heavy-duty brake loads including mountain descents with a trailer, repeated braking under load, police pursuit, or armoured vehicle applications where OEM-grade pads would begin to fade.
• Carbon fibre-enhanced, low-copper formulation is NSFI certified and ECE-R90 certified - meeting copper-free regulations and internationally recognised brake performance certification standards for these platforms in all markets where they are sold.
• Factory post-curing (scorching/TSP) process applied during manufacturing raises cold friction effectiveness from the very first brake application and shortens the bedding-in period compared to uncured pads - important for working trucks and large SUVs that may be put directly into heavy service without a controlled bed-in opportunity.
• Application-specific slots machined into the friction face continuously vent heat and expel friction gases and dust during braking, maintaining consistent bite across sustained heavy-duty braking cycles and preventing glazing that commonly affects OEM pads on these heavily loaded platforms.
• Application-specific multi-layered elastomeric coated NVH shims are included, reducing brake squeal and pedal vibration at the front axle - important given the NVH refinement expectations of the Land Cruiser 200 and LX570 buyer, for whom brake noise in daily driving is particularly unwelcome.
• Direct OE-replacement bolt-on fit - no modification to the factory front caliper, bracket, or hardware required on any listed Land Cruiser, LX570, Tundra, or Sequoia variant.

Product Description

The DBA DB1838XP Xtreme Performance front brake pads are engineered for one of the most demanding groups of platforms in the production 4WD segment - the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series (2008-2021), Lexus LX570 (2008-2021), Toyota Tundra 2nd Gen (2007-2021), and Toyota Sequoia 2nd Gen (2008-2022). All of these vehicles share a large-format front pad shape, substantial kerb weights, and are regularly used in high-load applications - heavy towing, long-distance loaded highway driving, and varied off-road terrain - that push OEM and OE-replacement pads to their thermal and friction limits. The DB1838XP addresses those limits directly, with a G-G class (0.45 avg mu) semi-metallic carbon fibre compound rated to 550°C (1022°F) and ECE-R90 certified for international markets.

Compared to OEM F-class pads, the XP compound's higher average mu and extended thermal ceiling mean measurably shorter stopping distances at all loads, better resistance to fade during sustained brake cycles, and more confident pedal feel under the heavy braking loads that these platforms routinely generate. The factory post-curing process shortens the bedding-in period significantly - practical for trucks and SUVs that go directly into towing or heavy-duty service. A specific fitment note for Land Cruiser 200 owners: 2016-2017 models produced for the Mexico market used a 340mm front rotor rather than the 353.5mm disc found on USA-specification vehicles. Both sizes are compatible with the DB1838XP, but buyers should confirm their rotor diameter if purchasing a non-domestic vehicle.

Despite the XP compound's higher friction output, the application-specific multi-layered NVH shims ensure these pads remain quiet and vibration-free in the daily driving conditions that Land Cruiser 200 and LX570 owners encounter - these platforms are used as refined family haulers as much as they are genuine off-road capable vehicles, and brake noise in daily use is not an acceptable trade-off. DBA recommends pairing the DB1838XP with their 4000 Series or 5000 Series T3 slotted front rotors to form a fully matched braking system optimised for both initial bite and sustained performance under the extreme loads these vehicles generate.
