Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors on a 2018 Ram 3500 serve different roles and experience different stresses. The front rotors handle a larger share of braking force and heat, so they often wear faster — especially if you tow or carry heavy loads regularly. Rear rotors support stability, parking brake function and load balancing; they may show different wear patterns. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise in Boise, ID, our certified technicians check rotor thickness, runout, and surface condition during every brake inspection and explain whether resurfacing or replacement makes the most sense. Using OEM rotors and pads preserves ABS calibration and towing capability, which is critical for a 2018 Ram 3500 with a large towing capacity. We offer transparent estimates, available service specials, and service financing so you can schedule service now and pay later. Protect braking performance and vehicle value by choosing dealership expertise and factory procedures.
