    I have a 2017 tundra limited, I am thinking of replacing pads and rotors. The tundra has 4 piston calipers but is that front and rear or just the front as I have seen in you tube vids. If it is only the front, then is it a worth while upgrade to replace rear caliper from a 2 to 4 piston?

    single in the rear, no real point in upgrading the rear as the front does most of the braking

    Unless you are having brake fade issues the stock ones are fine. As far as emergency stopping distance, that simply is a function of coefficient of friction of rubber on asphalt or snow or concrete or dirt. Nothing to do with clamp force unless it cannot clamp lol.
