    Brake Pad suggestions for towing???

    I need brakes for my first gen. I'm about to buy a pretty heavy trailer.

    Currently I have the bigger 06 Tundra calipers with Akebono pads, EBC Premium rotors, and braided lines. No warpage and still have pad left with 80k miles of use, not bad huh. I also live in a hilly part of California and commute to Los Angeles in traffic. I'm happy overall with my current setup and might get the same stuff again but I'm thinking I need some pads built for towing.

    I was very pleased with the performance and longevity of my current setup. I'm trying to decided if I should change to something new.

    Thanks

    I think you have a winning set up. No need to change IMHO.
