changing Front Brake Pads For Towing TT

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.

:) Hi, Vented rotors are rotors that have a gap with cooling fins in the middle. They are much better than solid rotors. I think what you really meant was that drilled and slotted rotors are for racing. I'm sure that your Sierra has vented rotors and you are happy to have them.
