When your truck is working harder under tow, factory brakes can feel slower to respond. This rear brake upgrade kit pairs severe-duty pads with rotors that manage heat and deliver strong initial bite, so repeated stops stay smooth and predictable.
Adding trailer weight changes how your truck responds when you press the brake pedal, especially during sudden stops or repeated braking. These brake pads use a severe-duty, low-metallic friction formula that delivers a strong initial bite, while the matched rotors use OEM-style vanes to help manage the added heat towing creates. Together they give your truck a more immediate, predictable braking response that stays consistent through repeated stops.
Brake vibration often traces back to uneven rotor machining or inconsistent braking surfaces, especially after repeated heat cycles. The rotors use computer-controlled castings with fly-cut, mill-balanced construction and meet or exceed OE specifications for machining tolerances. A non-directional cross-hatch finish promotes even pad bed-in, helping your brake service start with uniform contact and maintain smooth pedal feel as your truck accumulates miles.
New brake components require a break-in period before they deliver their intended performance. These brake pads use positive mold manufacturing to produce consistent density and precise dimensions, then add a bed-in coating that improves initial pedal feel and shortens the break-in process. Multi-layer vulcanized rubber shims help limit the extra noise commonly associated with high-bite low-metallic pads, so your truck delivers responsive braking without unnecessary chatter.
Road spray, moisture, and winter conditions often leave exposed brake components looking rough long before the friction surface wears out. The G3000 premium raw iron rotors use an OnyxBond matte black coating on the hat, vanes, and edges to help reduce rust on exposed non-friction surfaces. Your rotors stay looking better between services without affecting braking performance.
Replacing brake rotors is a job many experienced DIYers can handle, but brakes are one of those projects where being almost right is still wrong. If you would rather leave it to a professional, find an installer near you.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look together at this Timberland rear wheel BES brake upgrade kit. Now this kit has been designed to fit your 2013 to 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty, both the two-wheel and four-wheel drive models. And then your 2013 to 2022 F-350 Super Duty, the two-wheel and four-wheel drive models with the single rear wheel. And then we also have listed there for you the 2023 to current F-250, F-350 Super Duty, again, the two-wheel or four-wheel drive models. Now, it is important, especially on custom fit parts such as this kit, to go through our vehicle fit guide at etrailer.
Input the year, make, and model of your vehicle, answer any other questions that it might have for you, and our fit guide will confirm if this kit will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now upgrading your suspension can improve your ride quality, obviously it can help reduce that sag when you're hauling or towing, and it can make your truck feel more stable when you're hauling and towing as well. However, it does not reduce the extra workload that's placed on your factory brakes. So if you ever felt like your truck takes longer to stop with a trailer, or maybe your brakes are wearing out faster than you expected, or maybe that added weight is making your braking feel less confident, that's where this BES brake upgrade kit comes into play. This kit is designed to give your truck stronger, more consistent braking when it's carrying or towing those heavier loads.
These low metallic OnyxBite brake pads are going to give you a strong initial bite and eliminate brake fade that occurs with frequent stopping when towing. So you're going to notice a more confident, consistent braking performance on every road trip. These multi-layered rubber shims here on the other side are going to help stabilize the brake pads during braking, ultimately reducing vibration, keeping the brake noise to a minimum without sacrificing braking performance. On your screen, the first picture there on the left, I wanted to give you a close up of what one of these shims look like. You see that multi-layered construction.
Then the second photo there is what the brake pads look like when you pull that shim off. Again, just a closer look at the construction of the pad itself. So these positive molded pads paired with these precision balanced rotors are going to promote smooth, even braking and more consistent pedal feel. And speaking of these rotors, these are OEM style vented rotors, as you can see right here. That's going to help dissipate heat during repeated stops to reduce brake fade while you're towing.
And these are premium G3000 raw iron rotors. And they feature Timbren's OnyxBond matte black coating on the hat, veins and outer edges. As you know, heat is the enemy of brakes, so this OnyxBond coating has a heat threshold of 932 degrees Fahrenheit, which is about 67% better than the standard Geomet coating most commonly used on OEM parts. The coating also is going to help protect them from rust caused by road spray, moisture, and winter driving, keeping your brakes looking cleaner between surfaces without affecting braking performance. The pads also feature a bed end coating indicated by the blue stripes that we see here. That's going to transfer to the rotor to protect it during the first stops. So you're going to be able to enjoy consistent braking performance sooner after installation. This kit includes everything that you see here. You're going to get the rotors, the pads, the clips, the lubricant. But if you need help with installation, we do have you covered on that front as well. On this product page underneath the photo section, we have a link that will take you to our installer locator. Click that link to answer the questions that it has for you, and that locator will find an installer in your area that etrailer has partnered with to do the installation for you. But overall, if you've already upgraded the suspension on your truck and you've got that smoother, more stable ride, this brake kit is going to compliment that upgrade by addressing the other part of that equation by giving you that stopping power and confidence to better handle the weight of heavier loads or towing heavy, larger trailers. Together it's going to help create a safer, more capable towing setup and experience. I think it's going to wrap up our look today. Again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.
