Brakes

BrakesI currently have 28,000 miles on my Navigator. The rear brake pads were worn down to 1mm and the fronts were worn down about 75%. The front rotors were heat scorched. I trailer about 10% of the mileage and generally do not brake that hard. We are in TX, so conditions are typically hotter. Anyone else have these issues?


I decided to fix this correctly and install the Powerstop K8026-36 kit for towing. This includes front and rear slotted and drilled rotors and high performance brake pads. The kit was just under $500 on Amazon and my mechanic charged $200 for the installation. I expect this will solve the problem, but only time will tell. I thought this was a better option than going with OEM again that would likely have the same issue or cheep after market. I had a similar problem on my 2008 Sequoia and this solved the problem (Toyota later admitted to the problem and retrofitted additional brake cooling).


Anyone else experience this issue?Sat, 22 Feb 2025 05:57:31 +0000
