- There is no single interval; rotors should be assessed regularly — especially after heavy towing, frequent highway driving, or off-road use — as these increase wear.

- At our Boise dealership, technicians measure rotor thickness, evaluate heat damage, and recommend the safest, most cost-effective option while explaining long-term value.
- Choosing OEM parts and certified service often lowers lifetime costs by preventing repeat repairs; warranty-covered work must be completed at a certified dealership to keep coverage valid.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors
On a heavy-duty truck like the 2020 Ram 3500, front and rear rotors serve distinct roles and face different stresses. Front rotors typically handle the majority of braking force because weight transfers forward under deceleration; that means front rotors and pads often wear faster than rear components, especially when towing or hauling. Rear rotors may be smaller or subject to less heat, but they are crucial for balance and stability, and a failing rear rotor can cause pulling, uneven pad wear, and ABS activation. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise in Boise, ID, our factory-trained technicians inspect both axles, measure rotor thickness, and advise whether resurfacing or replacement is the safest option. We use OEM parts to maintain design tolerances and braking performance, and our service team explains how timely repairs prevent uneven wear, reduce vibration, and save money in the long run by avoiding damage to calipers and pads. Take advantage of our current service specials and service financing so you can address front and rear rotor needs immediately without delay. For balanced, dependable braking on your 2020 Ram 3500, schedule service online or call our Boise service center to set up a convenient appointment.
2020 Ram 3500 Brake Rotors
Brake rotors on the 2020 Ram 3500 are engineered to withstand high loads and towing demands, but they still require professional care to maintain stopping power and safety. Rotors absorb and dissipate heat generated during braking; excessive heat from towing, steep descents, or repeated heavy braking can cause glazing, warping, or scoring. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise, we combine OEM rotors with calibrated resurfacing equipment and diagnostic checks to restore proper surface finish and thickness when safe to do so. Our certified technicians use factory procedures so repairs preserve ABS and electronic brake controls, preventing adaptive faults and preserving warranty coverage — note that warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealership. Choosing us means faster turnarounds, clear pricing, and documented service history that helps retain vehicle value. We emphasize immediate and long-term savings: proper repairs avoid repeat work and extend component life. You can schedule service online, explore service specials, and ask about service financing to make quality maintenance more accessible.
