Here’s a good thread about brakes:

DBA slotted rotors and Hawk LTS pads is my fav combo (ran on 3 separate trucks) and has noticeably improved pedal feel and will outlast anything out there.

I’d love to hear what you call “significant disadvantages” are to them

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Toyota OEM rotors suck.

One of the very few parts Toyota has never done quite right and I’d prefer aftermarket in this particular/rare instance

This is the route I’ll most likely be going when the time comes. However, I’m still good just under 50K.

I'm planning on installing these (just the rotors and pads) at 100k unless someone here has a better suggestion.

If you have pre-2016, I would recommend upgrading to the larger 2016+ front rotors and calipers.

My brakes are fricken heroic with this upgrade. Night and day difference.

Not to antagonize, just trying to understand, but what is wrong with OEM brakes, rotors and pads?

Three sets of rotors in 120k? I have 60k on original pads (90%) and original rotors on my 2020HE. Curious to why the replacements.

Decent chance it involves stops to zero from highway speeds.

I've always tried to use Toyota or Denso whenever possible. However, when it comes to rotors there are better options. On more than one occasion I've had brand new OEM rotors come to me out of spec. One set was so bad I had to turn them so they'd fit.

Mine go about 50k. Lots of city driving, and towing doesn’t helo

Yea...unless you are towing a lot in hilly terrain, that's seems a bit excessive. If not, addressing your brake use and driving style would do wonders.
