Overview
The Baer Brakes 6T Brake System Front, part number 4011001R-2 in red, is a front disc brake kit for the 2024–2025 Toyota Tacoma. It combines a six-piston, direct-mount 6T caliper with a vented 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated rotor and uses the popular D1247 pad type, so the front brakes can be upgraded as one system.
Baer builds the caliper by CNC machining forged or billet aluminum, and it carries a powder coated finish in the red color. The rotor is purpose cast with a curved vane design that Baer says improves cooling and reduces brake fade. Stainless braided hoses, mounting brackets and hardware are part of the package.
Key features
- Six-piston, direct-mount 6T caliper in red with stainless steel pistons and abutments.
- Staggered pistons intended to minimize uneven pad wear.
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure.
- Vented 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated rotor with a curved vane design.
- Stainless steel noise suppression clips.
- Steel braided brake hoses, DOT approved.
- Powder coated finish, with the caliper manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona.
Bedding in new brakes
New pads need a short bedding procedure before they reach full stopping power. A series of moderate stops from speed, with brief cooling between them, lays an even transfer layer on the rotor. Hard stops straight after installation can cause uneven deposits, which may later show up as vibration or pulling under braking.
Front calipers of this size work with the rest of the braking system. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time and can lower its boiling point, so a fluid service is a good moment to check the system. Worn wheel bearings, loose pad hardware and tired shocks can also make braking feel uneven, so inspect them during installation.
- Pump the pedal with the engine running before the first drive
- Avoid long downhill braking until the pads have bedded in
- Re-check lug nut torque after the first short drive
- Keep brake dust off the wheel face during cleaning

Vehicle fitment
This red kit is fitted to the 2024–2025 Toyota Tacoma, covering both 2024 and 2025 model years.
Other Tacoma model years and other Toyota models are not covered by this fitment. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Hoses included are designed for stock-height vehicles, so a lifted truck may need longer hoses. Because wheel styles vary, Baer cannot guarantee fit, so compare the O185M template to your wheel. Brake components affect stopping, so have the installation checked by a qualified technician.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6T caliper, the 1-piece rotor, mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
Not included: wheels, which need to be 17 inch or larger for this kit.
