Heavy-duty brake setup
Super Duty pickups carry heavy loads and tow substantial trailers, so the front brakes do a large share of the work on long grades. Carbon and ceramic compounds are generally chosen for lower dust and quieter operation than many metallic pads, although they are a different formula from a high-load metallic compound. Match the pad style to how the truck is actually used before buying.
Brake service on a truck this size goes beyond the pads. Inspect the rotors for thickness and heat damage, check the caliper slide pins for smooth movement, and look at the brake lines for wear. Brake fluid that has absorbed moisture can reduce braking performance under repeated stops, so consider its condition at the same time.
