BRAKES
4Runner Brakes FAQs
For the 2025+ 4Runner, we carry PowerStop brake pads in two compounds, front and rear, each with hardware included. The PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow pads are designed for towing and hauling, while the PowerStop Z17 Evo Ceramic pads are a ceramic replacement pad.
If your 4Runner carries added weight from armor, a roof rack or larger tires, or tows regularly, the Z36 Truck & Tow compound is designed for that kind of use. Each compound is sold separately for the front and rear axle.
Factory Toyota rotors can be reused at a pad change as long as they are within Toyota's minimum thickness specification and free of cracks, heavy scoring or vibration. If they are worn past that point, replace them in pairs across the axle.
Our 2025+ 4Runner brake collection currently focuses on pads, with PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow and Z17 Evo Ceramic options front and rear. Contact us if you need rotors sourced for your 4Runner.
Every product page lists the model years, trims, and drivetrain configurations the part is built for, and every collection on this site is organized by platform. If your vehicle carries other modifications, or you are between model years or trims, send us your year, trim, and current setup before ordering and we will confirm fitment.

We also ship to Canada, Australia, and non-continental US destinations, where import duties and taxes are the customer's responsibility.
Toyota 4Runner Brakes, Pads, and Rotors
Brake demand on a 4Runner rises with every accessory added. Bumpers, sliders, racks, drawers, and larger tires all add mass and rotating inertia the factory system was not sized for, and loaded trucks descending grades are where owners first notice a soft pedal. An upgraded pad compound and fresh high temperature fluid address most of that without replacing hardware.
