Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The difference between front and rear rotors on the 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is significant: front rotors typically endure greater heat and braking force because weight shifts forward under deceleration, meaning fronts often wear faster than rears. Rear rotors, meanwhile, work with regenerative braking in hybrids to recapture energy and may experience different wear patterns. At Larry H. Miller Toyota Murray we inspect both axles and provide a clear recommendation: resurfacing can be an economical choice when rotors remain within spec, while replacement with OEM parts is the safest solution when thickness, warping, or structural damage is present. Neglecting a failing rotor can accelerate pad wear, reduce braking efficiency, and increase the total repair cost — our transparent estimates explain the consequences and the savings from timely attention. We proudly back work with technician certification and warranty options, and we encourage drivers to review current service specials. Ready to protect your Highlander Hybrid?
