Toyota is well known for building quality vehicles, and the Toyota Tundra is no exception. The Tundra is the second large pickup truck Toyota has built, and it is the descendent of the Toyota T100. It is fast, powerful, economical, and reliable, like all Toyotas.

The Tundra is built to be a working truck and despite its smooth, car-like ride, it is more than capable of spending all day at the construction site or other workplace. If you are hauling loads or towing, it is especially important to keep your brakes in good condition, although you should do so regardless of how the vehicle is used.

Increasing the load on the car, such as while towing a boat, also increases the wear and tear on the brakes. You should periodically inspect the brakes, taking careful note of the Toyota Tundra’s brake pads and rotors. The brake pads are removable and replaceable parts located on the brake caliper. Basically, when you inspect them, you are looking for thickness. While specific measurements are available for the minimum thickness of Toyota Tundra brake pads, it is generally a good idea to replace them if you see that they have less than a third of their minimum thickness remaining. As brake pads become thinner, they lose their effectiveness, which means that you will be stepping harder on the brakes, further speeding up their wear. So replace them early and replace them often. If you browse through our catalogue, you will see that we offer repair parts for almost anything that you might need to replace, so if your Toyota Tundra’s brake pads are looking a little thin, go ahead and order a replacement set.Remember, too, that brake pads should always be replaced in pairs.
