changing Front Brake Pads For Towing TT
Anyone have suggestions on the best set of replacement brake pads for towing? I have a 1999 Dodge 1500 5.9l 4x4 quad cab truck pulling a 2011 Cherokee 26bh grey wolf...

Vented rotors are a waste of money. They are for high performance racing applications and heat levels that most towing situations never come close to. Unless of course you just want to look cool. ;)
Pads are another matter. Cheap pads are just that. For towing I've found the semi-metallic pads far better than ceramic, which these days are usually OEM. I'm always willing to try something new though. I recently put a set of Napa Adaptive One Brake Pads on my Sierra. They are ceramic with different formulas for the inner vs outer pad. Wow, pretty nice so far after about 2 months. Noticeably better stopping power, towing or daily driving.
