Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on your 2020 Ram 1500 Classic play different roles: front rotors handle most of the braking force and heat, so they typically wear faster and may need replacement sooner than the rear set. Rear rotors often work with parking brake components and can show different wear patterns. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise in Boise, ID, our certified technicians perform a complete axle-by-axle inspection and explain whether resurfacing or replacement is the best, safest choice for each location. We use OEM-quality rotors and the correct torque and bedding procedures to restore balanced braking and avoid premature failure. Take advantage of our transparent estimates, factory diagnostic checks, and regular service specials to lower lifetime maintenance costs. To protect your investment and safety, schedule service online or call our service team — quick turnarounds and shuttle options make repairs convenient for busy Boise drivers.

Different types of 2020 Ram 1500 Classic Disc Brakes

The 2020 Ram 1500 Classic can be fitted with several disc brake options depending on equipment: vented rotors for standard heavy-duty cooling, slotted or cross-drilled performance-style rotors for improved gas and debris evacuation, and premium coated rotors that resist corrosion for longer life. Each type has trade-offs—slotted or drilled rotors can improve bite and heat dissipation under aggressive use, while OEM vented rotors provide reliable daily performance with proven longevity. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise, we recommend the rotor type that suits your driving and towing needs, install to factory specs, and test braking performance before release.
