PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Front Brake Pads for Ford Super Duty F-250/F-350/F-450 (2005–2012) – Carbon-Fiber Ceramic, Low Dust

PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow front brake pads are carbon-fiber ceramic pads engineered to deliver stronger stopping power, reduced dust, and near-silent operation for select Ford Super Duty trucks.

These PowerStop Z36-1069 front pads are made for heavy-use Super Duty trucks—covering specific Ford F-250, F-350 (including dual rear wheel years), and F-450 model years between 2005 and 2012—and include matching installation hardware. They balance aggressive braking performance suitable for towing and hauling while maintaining daily drivability, a quick break-in courtesy of a thermally treated pad face, and corrosion-resistant backing hardware to last through tough conditions.

Will these pads fit my Ford Super Duty and which years are covered?

Confirm fitment by matching your truck model and year with the list below; the kit is intended for front brakes on eligible Super Duty trucks. These pads fit a range of F-250, F-350 (including DRW models), and F-450 model years—check brake configuration and VIN options when in doubt.

• 2005–2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty
• 2005–2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty; 2009–2011 F-350 with Dual Rear Wheels (DRW)
• 2010–2012 Ford F-450 Super Duty (from 2/22/2010 onward)
• Includes installation hardware for a direct replacement front pad install

How do these Z36 pads perform during towing, hauling, or daily driving?

The Z36 ceramic-carbon formulation targets higher friction for confident stops under load while keeping pedal feel predictable for everyday use. Thermal processing and stainless-steel shims help manage heat and reduce noise, so you get firm stopping without a harsh grab or constant squeal.

• Carbon-fiber ceramic compound designed for heavier loads
• Thermally scorched pad surface for faster, controlled break-in
• Stainless-steel shims for improved heat dissipation and quiet operation

Will these pads keep my wheels cleaner and require less maintenance?

Z36 Truck & Tow pads produce lower brake dust than many metallic compounds, cutting residue buildup on alloy wheels. Additionally, the powder-coated backing plate and included hardware resist rust, reducing corrosion-related noise and extending service intervals.

• Low-dust ceramic-carbon mix minimizes wheel soiling
• Powder-coated backing plates resist rust and corrosion
• Included hardware ensures proper installation and longer component life

What should I expect during installation and break-in?

The kit ships with installation hardware and a pad surface that’s been preconditioned to shorten break-in time. Installation follows standard front pad replacement steps; after fitting, a few moderate stops will bed the pads to the rotors for consistent performance.

• Includes necessary hardware for front pad replacement
• Pre-scorched contact surface reduces bedding time
• Follow standard torque and bedding procedures for best results

Who this is for: If you drive a compatible Ford Super Duty that regularly tows, hauls, or sees heavy-duty use but you still want manageable dust levels and quiet braking on city roads, these PowerStop Z36 front pads are a strong choice. They suit fleet owners, truck enthusiasts, and operators who need durable stopping performance without sacrificing everyday comfort. For exact fitment, verify your truck’s model year and axle/brake configuration before purchasing.
