What makes the Z36 pads different from standard ceramic pads?

The Z36 pads feature a proprietary carbon-fiber ceramic compound. This reinforcement makes them stronger and better able to handle the higher temperatures and stresses associated with towing, hauling, and heavy-duty use compared to typical ceramic pads.

Will this kit reduce brake dust on my wheels?

Yes, the Z36 pads are formulated for low-dust performance. Third-party testing in Los Angeles showed an average of 30% less dust compared to original equipment pads, helping to keep your wheels cleaner.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit comes with the Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, drilled and slotted rotors, and all the necessary stainless-steel installation hardware. It also includes high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant.

Product Details

If you've got a 2003-2009 Ford Ranger and you use it for more than just commuting – maybe towing a trailer, hauling gear, or hitting some trails – this PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is a solid option for upgrading your front brakes. It's designed to handle the extra stress that comes with heavier loads and tougher driving conditions, giving you more confidence when you need to slow down.

This kit bundles together everything you need for a bolt-on installation. You get Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, which are built stronger than standard ceramic pads to handle severe-duty stopping. They're paired with drilled and slotted rotors. The slots help clear out dust and gas, while the drilling helps dissipate heat. This combination is key for keeping your brakes working effectively, especially on long descents or when towing. The pads are also formulated for low dust, so you won't have as much brake dust buildup on your wheels.

PowerStop includes all the necessary stainless-steel hardware and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant to make the installation straightforward. It's a complete package designed to work together, giving you an improved braking performance without needing any modifications to your stock setup.
