The problem with these trucks is that the pad is too small. That is a problem with most Japanese vehicles. The pad is half the length of most American cars. I used to do multiple 100+ mph stops in a row when road racing my 5.0. I still drive my work van like a maniac Chevy 2500, when going 80+ if someone cuts me off and I have to slam on the brakes going downhill, the brakes hold up. No fade, no jutter, no warped rotors.

The first week i had my Tundra, actually it was my wifes, the rotors warped. Toyota warrantied it out because of the TSB, but they warped again a week or so later.

I also have a G35 Sport 07. Try to slam on the brakes when doing 100 mph, slow down to 65 cuz some a$$hole cuts you off. Those rotors jutter immediately, then everytime you stop fast they jutter.

The dealer blames you. It's your driving, you shouldn't drive that fast, you shouldn't ride your brakes, blah, blah, blah. How come my $5000 Mustang didn't have Jutter? How come my 94 Ford van didn't have Jutter? How come my $200 84 ford Mustang didn't have Jutter? The pads on all of those vehicles are about twice as long as the pads on either of my current Japanese vehicles.

These Jap vehicles have great rotors, but when you concentrate all that clamping force with such a small pad, it overheats the pad quickly. This causes the surface of the pad to glaze over. Then it fades so you have to press the pedal harder causing more heat, more glazing, more fade, then finally the rotor overheats and warps.

If someone could just adapt a different caliper which uses a larger pad, you could leave the rotor alone. Just need to find a caliper which is close, then cut out an adapter plate. Use an off the shelf inexpensive Ford or Chevy truck or van caliper. It sure would be nice to have good brakes on both my vehicles. That's the only downside these otherwise high quality vehicles have.
