Discs, Rotors, and Hardware for Toyota Tacoma

Toyotas mid-size pickup truck, the Tacoma, was launched as a smaller truck in 1995. The second and third generations of Tacoma, starting in 2004, include Toyota Racing Development (TRD) trim, the SR and SR5 trim levels, and specialty trucks with six-speed manual or automatic transmission options. The type of discs, rotors, and additional brake parts that Toyota Tacoma owners should select as they rack up mileage will vary depending on the model year, wheel size, trim, and any customization or special use, such as off-road, double cab, or towing.

Does Toyota Crew Cab, XtraCab or TRD need heavy-duty brakes?

Toyota Tacoma trucks such as TRD Sport, with 4-wheel or all-wheel drive, may need heavy-duty brakes compared to regular cab models. Vehicles such as TRD Off-Road may gain brake performance through slotted or drilled rotors, which are sometimes marked as heavy-duty or performance brake parts. Some heavy-duty or performance brakes may be offered by Toyota Racing Development while extra heavy-duty performance brakes for a variety of vehicles are offered by Brembo and additional aftermarket performance brake designers.

Are there OEM or genuine Toyota brake pads for Tacoma?

Owners may choose genuine Tacoma replacement brake pads for their vehicle. They may also select Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) pads to replace worn pads on their pickup. OEM parts are manufactured according to Toyota factory standards. Brake pads are available to fit standard Tacoma discs, rotors, and calipers depending upon the year, trim and wheel size.

Which types of brake pad will fit Toyota Tacoma?

Tacoma owners may choose from four different materials for brake pad replacement on the pickup. Some brake pads used to be made of asbestos, which is a toxic material, and they have been replaced by non-asbestos organic brake pads. This type of brake pad is quiet, suitable for average use, and will be made of a combination of fibers, glass, and rubber. Ceramic brake pads are often selected for their braking performance and durability. Semi-metallic brake pads are durable and are made from 30% to 65% metal. Low-metallic NAO brake pads include organic compounds and copper or steel, providing improved brake performance along with quicker wear as compared to ceramic brakes.

What are brake kits for Toyota Tacoma?

Brake kits for the Toyota Tacoma will vary depending upon which brakes need replacement, the model year, trim, and drive configuration. Basic brake kits include rotors and pads. Enhanced brake kits for the pickup include rotors, pads, calipers, and additional brake hardware.

What are slotted and drilled rotors for Toyota Tacoma?

Slotted and drilled or slotted-only rotors direct heat away from brakes during heavy braking and high-performance street or off-road use. Reducing heat increases brake performance by reducing fade and strengthening the ability of calipers and pads to slow the wheel. Cross-drilling and engineered slotting helps to reduce the chance that rotor or disc metal will weaken and potentially crack or break. Toyota Tacomas that see heavy off-road use or are driving for performance purposes can use slotted and drilled rotors.
