Brake pads for TV
Getting ready to replace the pads on the TV. What are the best composition to use?

Ceramic pads are well known to fade when towing. They are fine if you don't tow or on a passenger car. I prefer semi-metallic pads for my tow vehicle. That's just been my experience in over 20 years of towing.
That said I've been happiest with the premium line of pads from NAPA. They have always outperformed OEM pads that I've had. Granted they do not last as long as OEM, but my goal is better performance, not how long they last. If I change them every 30k or 40k I'm not concerned.
Currently my truck has a set of Adaptive One pads which are a hybrid of semi-metallic and ceramic. After one year I can say they are simply excellent. My only nit is that they claim they are dust free. Not true. Low dust, but not dust free.
