Overview
The Baer Brakes 4011002HO-2 is a 6T front brake kit finished in Hugger Orange for 05-23 Toyota Tacoma trucks. Each kit brings a fixed six-piston caliper with direct mounting, a vented 1-piece rotor and braided steel hoses, plus the brackets and hardware needed to install them. Made in Phoenix, Arizona, it is built for the front axle.
Shoppers comparing front brake upgrades will see semi-metallic pads, a performance grade rating and the D1247 pad type in the specifications. The caliper is CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum and then powder coated in Hugger Orange, which is the color this part number carries.
Key features
- Fixed, direct-mount six-piston 6T caliper
- Two-piece caliper body for the 6T design
- Stainless steel pistons in a staggered layout to reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals rated for dust, weather and pressure
- Vented 1-piece rotor, slotted and zinc-plated
- Powder coated Hugger Orange finish on CNC machined aluminum
- Stainless braided hoses with DOT approval
- Brackets, hardware and rotor included in the kit
Choosing the right setup
Pairing a caliper with the right rotor and pads keeps braking consistent. A six-piston caliper clamps a vented rotor, and the friction material has to suit how the truck is driven. Semi-metallic pads are a common choice for towing and fast stops, though they can be noisier when cold and they wear the rotor faster than milder compounds.
Vehicle height and wheel choice matter as much as the brake parts. A higher ride height changes hose routing, and a larger wheel needs clearance over the caliper body. Stock hose lengths and the O080M template are the starting points for checking both before committing to a setup.
- Match pads to daily use or heavy loads
- Consider brake fluid rated for high heat when upgrading
- Check hose routing against suspension travel
- Bed in new pads before heavy braking

Vehicle fitment
The kit fits 05-23 Toyota Tacoma trucks on the front axle, and that is the only application covered.
Tacoma models from before the 05 range and other Toyota trucks are not covered. Verify your truck’s year, model and trim match this kit before buying.
Installation notes
Lifted trucks need longer hoses than the stock-height set in the kit, so measure before starting. Baer cannot guarantee fit into every wheel style, so run the O080M template against any wheel of 17.0 inch or larger. A professional technician should handle the installation and bleeding.
What’s included
The kit contains the 6T caliper, the vented 1-piece rotor, all mounting brackets, the stainless braided hoses and the hardware.
Not included: wheels and tires, which must meet the 17.0 inch minimum.
