Be prepared to warp your rotors and then upgrade them when you replace.

Edit... just read through thread and multiple responses about stopping the load. Plenty of people "in the know" in this thread.

More like a lot of people who don't realize weights of trucks have increased with features being added. As a result, brake diameter and thickness has increased considerably. Rotors now on his half ton aare thicker than a 2500hd of a few years ago. Calipers now have hydro electric assist (if my memory of shitty GM brakes hasn't failed me, sorry OP ).

Weight of the truck will be within 500lbs. With more power, better brakes, better gearing.

My 7 year old half ton has the same size rotors as a 2024 f250.

Not all trucks are built equally.

Max towing with a 3/4 is terrifying. Max towing with newer half tons really isn't bad at all.
