Overview
The Baer Brakes 902018-220 is a rear Claw performance rotor set with a slot-only friction face, made for the 2024–2025 Toyota Tacoma in SR, SR5 and TRD PreRunner trims. It is a direct replacement rotor for the rear axle.
The slots are there to let gases and dust leave the space between pad and rotor during braking, which Baer says supports a more consistent pedal feel. Each rotor is one-piece full cast iron, with a zinc-plated finish that gives a bright appearance behind open-center wheels. Baer notes these rotors also work with the slot and zinc only rotors in its 6T Truck & OffRoad front brake kits.
Key features
- Slotted friction surface that clears gases and dust from between the pad and rotor
- Premium, mill balanced direct replacement rotor
- Zinc-plated finish for an appearance behind open-center wheels
- Matching slot and zinc pairing with Baer’s 6T front brake kits
- Vented, one-piece cast iron construction with a directional brake surface
- Rust resistant coating on the rotor
Before you replace rotors
Rear rotors on a light truck do most of their work under heavy loads, towing and repeated stops on grades, so the friction surface and the hub face both see steady heat. Slotted faces help move gas and debris away from the pad, but they do not replace good pad material or correct installation. When replacing rotors, clean the hub mounting face and remove any rust ring so the rotor sits flat before the lug nuts go on.
Pads and rotors wear together. New rotors on old pads, or the reverse, can lead to uneven contact and noise, so many owners replace both at the same time. Bedding in new pads and rotors with a set of controlled stops helps the friction layer transfer evenly. While the wheel is off, check the caliper slide pins and boots, since a sticking caliper can overheat a fresh rotor quickly.
- Check for pulsation or pedal vibration after the first stops
- Inspect for deep grooves, cracks or blue discoloration
- Measure thickness against the discard figure before reuse
- Re-torque lug nuts after the first few drives

Vehicle fitment
It fits the 2024–2025 Toyota Tacoma in SR, SR5 and TRD PreRunner trims.
It is designed for the SR, SR5 and TRD PreRunner trims of the 2024–2025 Tacoma. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Brake lubricant is not included with the set, so plan on a separate lubricant. The rear hub uses 6 lug holes on a 5.5 circle, so compare that pattern with the hub before fitting. The discard thickness is 16.5 (.649), so measure worn rotors against that figure when servicing.
What’s included
The set contains two rear rotors.
Not included: brake lubricant.
