Jun 20, 2016Save the money, you don't need anything fancy. Get a fresh set of blank vented rotors and good quality semi-metallic brake pads. Last year I replaced my rotors and put on some Wagner ThermoQuiet pads. I ended up experiencing total brake failures with the trailer. I had to stop the entire weight of the truck and trailer from 60 to 0 mph on a few occasions. The truck handled it well and it was mostly a nonevent. While it did take a lot more effort to stop the combo, there was no brake fade, warping, overheating, or bursting into flames during the events. The trailer averaged 8,200 lbs according to the scale tickets at that time. The stock setup is more than enough when the trailer brakes are setup correctly. It's adequate for when they're not.
