Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen Big Brake Kit Overview

Bigger tires, armor, a rooftop tent and a full load all ask more of your Toyota Tacoma's factory brakes than they were built for. The Powerbrake X-Line big brake kit replaces the front brakes on your 2016-2024 Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen with billet 6-piston calipers and larger vented rotors. You get shorter, more consistent stops and a firmer pedal on long downhills, when towing, and when your rig is loaded for a trip.

Powerbrake builds these kits in South Africa, using what it learned building brakes for Dakar Rally race trucks. We carry them as the big brake upgrade that goes with our own braided brake lines.

What's Included

• 2 X-Line billet aluminum 6-piston calipers (Grey or Red)
• High-performance brake pads, already installed in the calipers
• 2 large-diameter one-piece rotors
• 2 billet caliper mounting brackets
• Stainless steel braided brake lines
• All mounting hardware, plus fitment and bed-in instructions

Specs

• Calipers: X-Line billet aluminum, 6 stainless steel pistons, internal fluid crossovers, protected bleed screws, wiper seals, high-temp pressure seals, stainless hardware, anti-rattle pad springs
• Rotors: one-piece 350 x 34 mm (13.8 in), 48 curved directional cooling vanes
• Max temperature recording: Powerbrake's MTR system on the calipers and rotors keeps a record of the highest temperature they reach
• Brackets: billet, with stainless thread inserts for the radial-mount bolts
• Brake lines: stainless braided with stainless fittings and a PVC protective cover
• Position: front axle, bolt-on

Fitment & Wheel Clearance

• Fits: 2016-2024 Toyota Tacoma 3rd Gen (4WD 6-Lug)
• 4WD (6-lug) models only. 2WD 5-lug trucks are not covered.
• 2024 Tacoma? Confirm your generation. Powerbrake lists this kit through 2024 and also lists its 4th Gen kit for 2024. Most US 2024 Tacomas are the all-new 4th Gen. A 2024 truck with the 3rd Gen body (the 2016-2023 style) takes this kit, and the new 4th Gen body takes the 4th Gen kit. Not sure? Send us your VIN and we will confirm.
• Position: front axle

Fitment Table

This kit puts a 350 x 34 mm (13.8 in) rotor and a 6-piston caliper behind your wheel. Most trucks need 17-inch or larger wheels for the 350 mm kit. Spoke shape and offset matter as much as diameter, so print Powerbrake's wheel fitment template and check it against your wheel before you order.

Not sure it fits? Call us at 850-324-6726 or email info@brakelinepros.com with your year, trim, lift and wheel size.

Why Upgrade

• More stopping power: a larger rotor gives the caliper more leverage, which counters the extra weight of big tires and gear.
• Less brake fade: curved-vane rotors and billet calipers shed heat on long descents and while towing.
• Better pedal feel: six pistons on a larger pad, plus braided lines, give a firm pedal you can control.

Complete Your Brake Upgrade

• Brake lines: pair this kit with our 2005-2023 (2nd Gen & 3rd Gen) Toyota Tacoma Braided Extended Brake Lines - Front & Rear Kit, built in house by Brake Line Pros.

FAQ

Will it fit behind my wheels?

Most 17-inch and larger wheels clear the 350 mm kit, but spoke design and offset decide it. Print Powerbrake's wheel fitment template, test it on your wheel, or send us your wheel specs and we'll check.

Is it really bolt-on?

Yes. The kit bolts to the factory mounting points using the included billet brackets, with no cutting, drilling or welding. A professional install is recommended, followed by a full bleed and the bed-in procedure in the instructions.

My truck is lifted. Will the brake lines reach?

The kit includes stainless braided lines. If your lift needs longer lines, tell us your lift height. We build custom-length braided lines in house, usually in 1-2 business days.

Grey or red: is there a difference?

Only the look. Both colors are the same billet 6-piston caliper with the same performance.
