    Getting ready for new brakes on a Gen 4, and would like some feedback

    Has anyone had great experience with a particular brake/rotor combination? I tow once a month or so and throughout the midwest, so no major mountain driving. I'll plan on some type of drilled/slotted and low dust option.

    Thanks in advance for your feedback!

    Just curious but how many miles do you have on your truck? I have a 2016 3500 with around 65,000 and my brakes look practically new. I tow 12-14 thousand pounds every other month so I’ve never had to replace my brakes yet but on my 2nd gen I used a ceramic type pad to cut down on the dust and for longevity. Slotted rotors are expensive and to me a waste of money. I used a ceramic type coated rotor and never had any warping issues with it.

    I’m sure there are better options but I like OEM brake pads.

    35k on the clock. Fronts look good, backs are about 50% worn, and I hate the dust on both. I never turn rotors anymore, replace with a quality aftermarket, and I've never done a 3rd set... either for need or still owning the vehicles.

    Just planning out the fall work now. I'll do brakes, air bags, and ceramic coat the wheels before winter rolls around.
