Tacoma Rear Disc Brakes

I agree if it works good in any environment or terrain then why bother with it unless u want better proformance or better stopping power. But to each their own. That’s kind of waste of money but that’s his ride and choice

 

Not necessarily because our trucks from way back when the 80’s trucks came out until now still and always had drums in the rear for the best of both worlds. Front disks for the majority of stopping and the light rear end only does about 20% of the braking. Drums are better protected from debris since it’s enclosed and lasts for a long time

 

In May of 2017, this thread died a peaceful and necessary death.

With that in mind, almost 19 months (yes months) later, why the fuck would anyone resuscitate it?

 

Not this shit again....

 

I just replaced the Rear discs & pads on my 2016 Rav 4. 66,000 kilometers on it. The Fronts have lots of life left in them. I would be willing to pay extra to have Rear drum brakes on any vehicle I buy.

Wow I have never needed to spell that word and didn’t know it was spelled that way.

 

Out of the 209 post, this is the closest to the truth.

 

0W-20. No power seat. No rear discs. Plastic bed. Won't stop for cardboard.

Simple question:
Does our truck take longer to stop than other vehicles around this weight?


The answer is...





No.

 

Me neither. Looks wrong. I have the same issue with “thigh”....doesn’t look right.

 

Yep those Rav4s eat rear pads big time!

 

The 2020 Tacoma will have rear disc brakes , and drop the Drum brakes. Then Toyota will change there story and Now claim the New rear disc brakes are an upgrade and better for reasons xyz . The Disc vs Drum argument will finally end for good as drum brakes will never ever make a comeback. Thank god.

 

Given the choice, I’d take disc brakes.

 

Then folks will complain that going to disks just cost them more in maintance.

 

First thing I noticed when looking at my truck before buying. My dads 2001 S10 Crew Cab has disc brakes.

 

so where is all the drum brake lovers at now? Remember drum brakes were the best because Toyota had a lot of reasons why drum brakes were better but now disc brakes are better. Oops!! reread this read and look at all the wrong predictions about drum brakes. Lol.

 

I literally have at least 150k on my rear drums, and it stops my $hit decent.

Come to think of it, my wheel cylinders may be frozen

 

I'll trade you my stock drum brakes for the disc setup on that if they swap
