Overview
The Baer Brakes 4011001FR-2 is a Fire Red 6T front brake kit for the 2024–2025 Toyota Tacoma. Its six-piston, direct-mount caliper clamps a vented 1-piece slotted rotor with a zinc-plated finish, and the setup is built around the D1247 pad type. It suits owners upgrading the front brakes on 2024 or 2025 Tacoma trucks.
Baer describes its rotors as purpose cast from premium materials, with curved vanes intended to improve cooling and keep braking consistent with less fade. The box holds mounting brackets, braided hoses and hardware. The hoses are sized for stock-height trucks, so lifted models may need longer ones.
Key features
- Six-piston caliper in a 6T configuration with fixed direct mount
- Caliper body CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Caliper powder coated in Fire Red
- Staggered pistons help even out pad wear
- Dual seals guarding against dust, weather and pressure
- Vented, slotted, zinc-plated 1-piece rotor
- Caliper made in Phoenix, Arizona
Choosing a pad compound
Pad compound affects how a front brake system feels day to day. Semi-metallic pads handle heat well and suit a truck that tows or drives hard on grades, but they tend to leave more dust on the wheels than other compounds. Pad choice also affects how quickly the rotor surface wears, so the two parts are best judged together.
Before fitting new pads, clean the caliper bracket and slide pins so the pads move freely. Bed the new pads in with a series of moderate stops, then allow the brakes to cool. Look at the rotor surface after the first few drives and note any blue spots or uneven wear.
- Clean dust from the wheel and caliper area after pad changes
- Lubricate caliper slide pins with brake-rated grease
- Replace pads when friction material is worn close to the backing plate

Vehicle fitment
It fits the 2024–2025 Toyota Tacoma on the front axle.
Other Tacoma generations and Toyota models are not covered. Wheel fit varies by wheel style and maker, so check the O185M template against your wheel. Before ordering, confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim.
Installation notes
Stock-height hoses come with this kit, so a lifted Tacoma should be measured for hose length before fitting. Wheel clearance with 17-inch or larger wheels is best confirmed with the O185M template first. Expect hydraulic line work, which a qualified technician should handle.
What’s included
The kit includes the Fire Red 6T caliper, the 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated rotor, mounting brackets, braided hoses and hardware.
Not included: wheels, which should be at least 17 inch to suit the kit.
