2019 Ram 1500 Classic (DS Body), 5.7L, 4WD
I think I'm going to be needing brakes in the next 10-15,000 miles. Need to monitor more, I'll be pulling a front tire off this weekend since it's filter change time.
I saw something about ceramic pads not being the best for a truck. On past vehicles I've had good luck with Duralast Gold Ceramic. Since I've never bought brakes for a truck, figured I'd ask for suggestions.
While for the most part, my truck lives the highway life, I still want it to be a truck when needed. Hauling junk, pull the occasional light trailer (yard work/equipment). No plans on pulling several thousand pounds, but in the end, the truck is rated for around 8800lbs, so if needed, I'd want to be able to pull and stop the 8800lbs. Much more likely to have a bed full of stuff vs pulling a trailer.
Typical requirements, lower dust (no dust isn't necessary), quiet, stops the truck. Not trying to pinch pennies. I do not have a brand preference, I want good brakes that last.
I've seen decent reviews of Raybestos Element3, Napa's Adaptive One, Wagner OEx.
AutoZone has their standard Gold Ceramics and then some Copper Free Ceramics, if ceramics are appropriate, and a severe duty semi-metallic.
