Brake pads

hello,

I need to front brake pads, but I’m having a hard time. I recently shipped my tacoma from Texas to lebanon (Middle East). They have hiluxes here but not Tacoma’s. Can I use OEM hilux brake pads? Or any other OEM Toyota brake pads from a land cruiser or roads or whatever?

I found bosch quietcast but I’m unsure of going outside OEM.

Thanks.

 

If you find something that will work such as the Bosch, it should be fine. Seems like the Hilux pads should work, but I'm just guessing.

G.

 

Some of the pads for 2016 Tacoma listed on Rock Auto interchange with 2016 Hilux, so you are probably OK. 2003-2009 4Runner / Prado pads should work as well.

 

Thanks! Are they similar or exactly the same?

 

^Similar enough to fit and function. The way Toyota operates, there might even be minor differences in pads for Hiluxes sold in Lebanon and those sold in Mexico.

 

Look up the caliper for the hilux and the Tacoma. See if they are the same that will tell you if the pads match.

 

Hilux pads


Tacoma pads

 

Thank you!

 

Look pretty dang similar
Both searches were 2016 (truck) OEM pad replacement

 

The Toyota dealership here sold me these. They look exactly the same, and they are semi metallic. Is that fine? Are tacoma brake pads semi metallic?

Thanks

 

^These should work fine. Did they come with shims?

 

Nope. Do they normally ?

 

^Aftermarket pad kits usually do, but Toyota forces you to buy the shim kit separately at the parts counter. If your old shims are in acceptable shape, then you can reuse them.

 

Oh fuck, wish I knew that. My truck only has 26000 miles so I’m going to assume they are ok.

 

26K and you need front brakes? My last gen 2 still had the original front pads when I sold it with over 102K...

 

These are the pads my dealer sold me...

 

I drive like an asshole

 

one set are semi metallic replacements and another probably ceramic replacements this is how they do it with the 2nd gen pads, ceramics are very good and will cost less
