Tundra front Rotors

[solitec365]

I have owned a 2007 Tundra which I purchased in that year. During that time I have hauled 3 different Travel Trailers and now have a Pop up Camper permanently installed the weight being about 1500 lbs.
Problem I have are the rotors which warp very easily. After having gone through 3 sets over the years which set would be the best to install that won't warp, or will last longer. I have about 150000 miles on the truck.

Are you replacing the rotors with Toyota factory parts?

About 95 percent of problems with "warped" rotors don't involve warped rotors at all. The issue is improperly bedded pads and uneven glazing of the rotors from coming to a complete stop when the rotors are extremely hot. This causes a pulsing that feels like warped rotors. I'm not saying it's impossible you have warped rotors, but it's far more likely the problem is elsewhere. Look back at about page three of this section to another thread about warped Tundra rotors, and look at the post by Ramblin Chet.

I agree with Jonathan that improper bedding can cause the pulsing but so can buying cheap Chinese rotors which seem all to prevalent these days.

One alternative is to get rotors that have been cryo treated which “hardens” the steel and is perfect for severe applications. This was originally developed for race cars but is available for almost any vehicle these days. Here’s an example for your truck.

When you replace your rotors you have to replace the pads as well and follow the bedding in process exactly. If done right you should have thousands of trouble free miles
