PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Front Brake Pads for Lexus GX460 & Toyota 4Runner — Carbon-Fiber Ceramic, Low-Dust with Hardware

PowerStop Z36 Carbon-Fiber Ceramic front brake pads deliver heavy-duty stopping power and reduced dust for towing and hauling on Lexus GX460 and Toyota 4Runner models.

These Z36 Truck & Tow pads are engineered for drivers who push trucks and SUVs—whether towing trailers, navigating mountain roads, running fleet duty, or upgrading lifted vehicles. The kit ships as a direct-fit front pad replacement and includes stainless-steel installation hardware so you can upgrade braking performance without modifications.

How do these pads improve braking for towing and hauling?

Z36 pads use a carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic compound formulated to increase friction stability under load, helping resist fade when you tow heavy loads or descend long grades. Stainless-steel shims and the compound’s low-dust nature keep noise and rotor deposits to a minimum, preserving rotor life and wheel appearance.

• Carbon-fiber ceramic compound for consistent stopping power under stress
• Low-dust formulation reduces wheel cleanup
• Stainless-steel shims dampen vibration and reduce squeal
• Designed for repeated heavy-duty cycles without rapid wear

What makes installation straightforward for a DIY mechanic?

This front pad kit is engineered as a bolt-on replacement that fits the stock caliper and rotor configurations for the listed model years. PowerStop includes all stainless-steel installation hardware required for front pad replacement, so you won’t need to source clips or pins separately.

• Direct-fit design—no modifications to calipers or brackets
• Complete front kit includes (2) brake pads and hardware
• Stainless-steel installation components resist corrosion for long service life
• Clear vehicle fitment listing for Lexus GX460 and Toyota 4Runner

Are these pads suitable for modified or lifted trucks?

Z36 Truck & Tow pads are built with heavier loads and altered dynamics in mind, making them a good match for lifted suspensions and larger wheel/tire setups that often change braking demands. Their compound and construction help maintain performance when braking demands increase due to added weight or wheel inertia.

• Engineered for trucks and SUVs with higher payload or towing needs
• Maintains stopping consistency with larger wheels and tires
• Useful for vehicles with increased center of gravity from lifts or accessories
• Reduces likelihood of brake fade in demanding driving conditions

What warranty and fitment assurances are provided?

PowerStop backs these pads with a limited warranty structure to add confidence after purchase. Always verify fitment using the product fit guide for your specific vehicle year and axle to ensure correct application before installation.

• 30-day / 12-month / 12,000-mile limited warranty coverage
• Explicit front-axle fitment for 2010–2023 Lexus GX460 and 2010–2024 Toyota 4Runner
• Recommendation to confirm fitment with the retailer’s vehicle check tool
• Installation hardware included for a complete front pad replacement

Who is this for? If you own a Lexus GX460 (2010–2023) or a Toyota 4Runner (2010–2024) and you regularly tow, haul, drive in mountainous terrain, or have modified your vehicle with larger wheels or a lift, the PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow front brake pad kit is designed to give you stronger, more consistent braking with lower dust and reduced noise. It’s also a good choice for fleet managers and owners who want a durable, direct-fit performance upgrade without extensive installation work.
