2017 Ram 1500 Brake Pads and Rotors

When it comes to the 2017 Ram 1500, replacing brake pads and rotors together is often the smartest move.

Our technicians perform a full inspection of both pads and rotors and will recommend resurfacing or replacement only when necessary. Because we use OEM-quality rotors and pads and factory-recommended procedures, you get consistent pedal feel and optimal stopping performance—especially important for a truck that may tow or carry heavy loads. Choosing Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise means you get factory-trained technicians, precise diagnostics, and documented service that preserves warranty and resale value.
