PowerStop Z36 Rear Brake Pads for Cadillac Escalade & Silverado 2014-20 — Carbon-Fiber Ceramic, Low-Dust Truck & Tow with Hardware

PowerStop Z36 Rear Brake Pads are a bolt‑on carbon‑fiber ceramic upgrade built for trucks and large SUVs that need stronger, low‑dust stopping power while towing or hauling. These Z36 Truck & Tow rear pads are engineered for heavy‑duty duty cycles common to full‑size trucks and SUVs: towing trailers, carrying heavy loads, and coping with larger wheels or lifted suspensions. The kit includes two carbon‑fiber ceramic brake pads and stainless‑steel installation hardware to simplify a do‑it‑yourself swap. Materials and construction focus on reduced dust, noise suppression, and improved resistance to brake fade under repeated, demanding stops.

How do these pads perform when towing heavy loads?

The Z36 compound combines ceramic matrix and carbon fibers to increase friction consistency at higher temperatures, helping maintain stopping power when braking frequently or on long descents. Stainless steel shims reduce vibration and audible noise during routine driving, while the pads’ formulation is chosen to resist rapid wear under load.

• Carbon‑fiber reinforcement for stable friction under heat
• Low‑dust ceramic makeup for cleaner wheels during long trips
• Steel shims to minimize noise and harsh feedback
• Designed for repeated, heavy braking cycles
