Stick with OEM...
Has nothing to do with claims (what claims?). Has everything to do with actually trying something else and gaining some experience.
Like everything else on vehicles, the brake pads are built for a price and then performance. Going to a specialty company that has no such limitations nets a better product but at a higher price - which is well worth it.
Another thing, when you go to the dealer to get "OEM", you are not getting what came on the truck. You are getting a cheaper substitute that makes them even more money. This goes for all of the big three.
Not only do premium pads take less pressure to stop the vehicle, they will stop a loaded rig faster than the stock parts.
In a panic situation, the feet you save can make all the difference.
Perhaps your experience is different from mine, but when I buy OEM pads for my truck I get the original quality pads, not Motorcraft.
