Toyota’s trucks enjoy a well-deserved reputation for reliability, economy, and comfort. Toyota has produced pickup trucks for well over seventy years, and in that time, they have managed to build a strong track record around the world. Because Toyota builds its trucks to work and haul, the Toyota truck brakes are stronger than they would be for an average vehicle of equivalent weight.

While the brakes are more than adequate, if for any reason you find you need more braking power, you can fairly easily upgrade any Toyota truck’s brake pads. There are a number of aftermarket brake pads available that will offer different types of performance based upon their construction.

Different brake pad materials will function differently based upon usage, temperature, and a number of other factors. If you find that your brakes overheat easily, you might consider a metallic brake pad in place of the OEM Toyota truck brake pads. Metallic brake pads were primarily developed for racing cars, and so their optimal temperature is somewhat higher than stock pads. The trade off, though, is that in a panic stop situation, they will be well below their optimal temperature and so will not perform as well. Upgrades in brake pads can also be matched up to upgrades in rotors. Check out our online catalogue for all of your braking needs.
