PowerStop Z36 Rear Brake Pads for Dodge Durango & Jeep Grand Cherokee — Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Truck & Tow, Rear Fit with Hardware

PowerStop Z36 Rear Brake Pads are a direct-fit, carbon-fiber ceramic upgrade designed to give Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee owners heavier-duty stopping power for towing, hauling, and modified trucks without machining or modifications.

If you use your Durango or Grand Cherokee for trailering, heavy loads, or off-road adventures, the Z36 Truck & Tow pads are engineered to improve fade resistance, reduce dust, and retain quiet everyday drivability. The kit includes two rear carbon-fiber ceramic pads and stainless-steel installation hardware so you can swap them in as a bolt-on upgrade. These pads are formulated and shimmed to work with a variety of rotor types and model years listed in the fit guide.

How do these pads improve braking during towing or hauling?

The Z36 formulation blends ceramic with carbon fibers to increase friction stability under heat, so the pads resist fade when braking repeatedly while towing or descending grades. Stainless-steel shims and the compound together help maintain consistent pedal feel and reduce vibration during heavy-duty use.

• Carbon-fiber ceramic compound for steady friction at high temperatures
• Designed to limit brake fade on long downhill or towing runs
• Stainless-steel shims for quieter operation and reduced vibration
• Longer wear life under load compared with many OE pads

Will installation require special tools or modifications?

No special tools or fabrication are required. PowerStop supplies stainless-steel installation hardware with the pads so the rear brake replacement is a true bolt-on job for compatible vehicles.

• Includes all necessary stainless-steel mounting hardware
• Direct-fit design made for listed rear rotor combinations
• Typical DIY brake tools and safe jacking procedures are all that’s needed
• Compatible with both vented and solid rear rotors where specified

Which Dodge and Jeep models and years do these pads fit?

These Z36 rear pads are manufactured to fit a broad set of Durango and Grand Cherokee rear applications across multiple years, rotor sizes, and trim levels. Always confirm fitment with the vehicle-specific fit guide before ordering.

• Dodge Durango rear: 2011–2017; select 2018–2020 configurations (330/350 mm front rotors, vented/solid rear)

What durability and warranty protections come with the Z36 pads?

PowerStop backs the Truck & Tow Z36 pads with a limited performance warranty to give drivers coverage for defects and early failures within the stated period. The pads are built to withstand the extra stress of towing and rugged driving conditions for longer service life than many OE-style replacements.

• Performance Protection: 30-Day / 12-Month / 12,000-Mile limited warranty
• Low-dust ceramic formula to keep wheels cleaner between services
• Manufactured for heavy-duty use: towing, hauling, mountain driving, and lifted vehicles
• Stainless-steel hardware resists corrosion to preserve fit and function

Who is this for: The PowerStop Z36 Rear Brake Pad kit is aimed at Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee drivers who prioritize stronger, fade-resistant stopping when towing or carrying heavy loads, owners of lifted or modified SUVs who need reliable braking with larger wheel/tire packages, and anyone upgrading from basic OE pads for cleaner wheels, quieter operation, and longer wear. If your vehicle matches the listed rear fitments and you want a straightforward bolt-on performance upgrade with included hardware, the Z36 Truck & Tow pads are built to meet those needs.
