Product Description

The PowerStop Z36-976 Z36 Truck & Tow front brake pads are engineered as a performance upgrade over OEM pad sets for a range of Toyota and Lexus trucks and SUVs. Built with carbon-fiber infused ceramic friction material, they deliver severe-duty stopping power while producing less dust and noise compared to many stock brake pads - ideal for towing, hauling, or daily driving under load. Chamfered and slotted pad faces aid heat dissipation and noise reduction, and the included premium stainless-steel hardware and brake lubricant help simplify installation. Their performance grade design makes them suitable for heavier rigs that encounter steeper grades, highway towing, or frequent hauling.

Fitment is confirmed on Toyota and Lexus trucks/SUVs including the Tundra (2000-2006), Tacoma (2005-2025), Sequoia (2001-2007), 4Runner (2003-2009), FJ Cruiser (2007-2014), and Lexus GX470 (2003-2009) in front brake applications. These pads include mechanical wear sensors on compatible models and large friction surface thickness for longer service life. **Fitment through 2025 is supported for Tacoma; other models beyond listed years are unconfirmed at time of listing.**
