2026 Ram 3500 Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing both pads and rotors on a 2026 Ram 3500 Tradesman often provides superior braking performance and longevity compared with fitting new pads to worn rotors. Worn rotors can cause uneven pad wear, vibration, and reduced stopping efficiency — problems that are costly over time. Our technicians inspect both surfaces and measure tolerances to recommend rotor machining or replacement when necessary. We install OEM pads and rotors designed for the 3500's heavy-duty duty cycle, restoring consistent contact, fade resistance, and heat dissipation during towing. Bundling pad and rotor work at our dealership saves you money on labor and parts versus separate visits and provides documented service history that helps maintain resale value.
