    Great video. Thank you! For the 5th Gen 4Runner: Front brakes *BUY OEM #04465-60320 (DON’T buy the front ceramic #04464-AZ200). For the Rear brakes: *BUY OEM #04466-60140 (DON’T buy the Rear ceramic #04466-AZ208). Easy job. Good luck!

    Brakes, out of all things in the car, are one area I wouldn't want to go Cheap and Skimp on and cut corners. I'd rather get great quality brakes and make sure they're installed properly. One's own life and safety is just too important than saving a few bucks.

    In most cases, Advics (Sumitomo) a division of Aisin manufactures Toyota's TFR Brake Pads. Available through Rock Auto and they always have a 5% off coupon. FYI, dealers markup on parts is about 40%, so ALWAYS haggle with them on their prices. NISSIN also makes OEM Japanese pads, and so does Akebono. Having tried them all over the course of almost 600,000 miles, I can say that the NISSIN and Advics are the best, the Akebono formula generates more dust and are harsher on the rotors.

    I was told that the difference between them is that the original pads that came with the car are semi-metallic, whereas the cheaper ones are ceramic. However, metallic pads last longer because it actually wears the rotors instead. That’s one of the reasons they last longer. But rotors are more expensive in parts and labor than pads. When the two meet to stop the car, something has to wear out.

    Consider most people here are performing their own maintenance. If you spend 1/3 less on a brake pad and it lasts 3/4 the mileage. It’s a win. Over time, you will save more money thus saving you for better upgrades. Good to know about this vs that. But it’s not like the oem brake pad with AZ lettering is going to make your brakes not work.

    The friction rating for those 60140 is EE. That’s two notches below GG, (Bosch, Akebonos ACP, power stop, etc) . What that mean is these have less “bite” than FF, GG or HH.

    Curious , rav 4 & highlanders of all years &models seem to still have braking issues ? Warped rotors , these are all done by Toyota mechanics, seems the rotors are too small & not thick enough or low quality metal ? & calipers are too small for these heavy vehicles? Any other brands work for these issues ?? Thanks !

    The problem with my Fj is that the front calipers have been replaced three times. They keep getting seized up and only last about four to five years. I wish I would have known before I got my brakes done.
    I will ask for the better ones next time.

    Interesting.... Consider I just had to change my Wife's 2020 4Runners Front Brakes Pads and Rotors due To Rotor Warping and The Brake Pads mainly the inners pads, Down to Damn Near Nothing at 34k Miles. And Yes They Are The Original Rotors and Pads (Blue color).
    Note: I also Changed the Rears to Match the Front Upgrade as Well, and The Rear Brakes Were Replaced back in September 2022 due to Being down to Nothing as Well. Toyota Brakes on the 4Runner ( My wife's Vehicle for Sure) were $#it from Day One. they Felt Mushy and Not Very Aggressive. And as to the Rears, I learned Back on Her Venza from before, that Toyota Uses Their Stability Control System/Braking Assit , Yada Yada Yada, via the Rear Brakes. Causing the Excessive Rear Pads wear. But You got 90k miles on Those. WOW

      I am hard on brakes. My Tundra front rotors warped at 30k. the dealer turned them, and reinstalled them. Of course they warped again, so I replaced them with new Toyota rotors. They lasted too 65k and warped... AGAIN! So i installed slotted cryogenically treated rotors and ceramic pads. I now have 146k on my truck... same front brakes. I am going to switch my wife's 4RUNNER to the same. Some folks are just harder on brakes and drive in hot climates like Florida where I live, factory brakes never last with me

    Both Toyota pads are made in Japan by the same company (hint it’s NOT Toyota, they don’t make brake pads).
    Secondly, the less expensive ones are CERAMIC and identified with AZ. They ARE NOT made in the USA!!! They are made in JAPAN. I work on hundreds of Toyotas, it’s obvious you DO NOT!
    The OE pads are made by the same company (not Toyota) and are in fact SEMI METALLIC. Might want to correct your misleading video….. the CERAMIC Pads are fine and work flawlessly when rotors are turned or replaced by a Toyota tech and not some lube tech. Love the misinformation on RUclips. Forums are great places to hear people bitch about things that are typically their own stupid fault.

    I’ve never once heard of any Toyota dealership using aftermarket brake pads or rotors at a Toyota dealership. Also anyone with a brain will call their local dealership and get the part number matched with their VIN numbers. I only deal in wholesale with my local Toyota dealership any any car I am working with is always getting the parts matched to the VIN. Never had an issue once because I know what to look for and how to word it if the rep is confused which is rare

You can pull up both part numbers on any Toyota parts website and see that the one I listed is for 2019 and older.
