Overview
The Baer Brakes 4011003DS-2 is a front 6T brake system kit for the 2022–2025 Toyota Tundra, finished in Desert Sand. It pairs a 6-piston, direct-mount caliper with a 1-piece slotted, zinc-plated vented rotor and uses the D1247 pad type, giving Tundra owners a larger front brake package for trucks running 17-inch or larger wheels.
Baer sells this kit as one unit: mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware come with the calipers and rotor, so there is no separate bracket or hose list to hunt down. The rotor is purpose cast, and the brand credits its curved vane design with optimum cooling, consistent braking and reduced brake fade. Dual seals guard against dust, weather and pressure, while staggered pistons aim to even out pad wear across the pad face.
Key features
- Fixed, direct-mount 6T caliper with six pistons.
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips.
- Staggered pistons designed to minimize uneven pad wear.
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure.
- Powder coated Desert Sand finish.
- Caliper CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum and manufactured in Phoenix, AZ.
- 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated vented rotor.
- Stainless steel braided hoses included; the brand says they suit stock-height vehicles.
Choosing the right setup
Brake upgrades work best when the caliper, rotor, pads and hoses are chosen as one system. A six-piston caliper clamps harder than a stock unit, so the pads and rotor must be matched to that clamping force. Mixing a large caliper with an unmatched pad can lead to uneven wear or noise. Keep the front brake package consistent with the driving you do most, whether that is highway commuting or trail use.
Ride height also plays a role. Lifted trucks change the hose route and the geometry of the brake line, so measure the hose path before installation. Check the brake fluid after the upgrade and keep it fresh, since heavier braking heats the fluid faster.
- Match pads to the caliper and rotor
- Measure hose routing on lifted trucks
- Keep brake fluid fresh after the upgrade

Installation notes
The included hoses are sized for stock-height trucks, so lifted Tundras may need longer hoses. Before mounting wheels, use Baer’s O185M template to check clearance, because the brand cannot guarantee fit with every wheel style. The kit is designed for wheels of 17 inch or larger.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6T front calipers in Desert Sand, the 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated rotor, all mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
