How long do 2012 Ram 1500 rotors last?

• Rotor life depends on driving habits, environment, and maintenance; normal ranges are often between 30,000 and 70,000 miles for many drivers, but heavy towing or aggressive braking reduces life.

• Scheduling regular inspections and following OEM service intervals saves money over time by avoiding collateral damage to pads, calipers, and wheel bearings.

Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2012 Ram 1500?

• Not always, but it’s often best practice: when rotors are worn, warped, or below minimum thickness, pairing new pads with resurfaced or new rotors maximizes stopping power and reduces vibration.
• At our dealership we evaluate both components and recommend the most cost-effective solution—resurfacing when safe, replacement when necessary—backed by OEM parts, technician certification, and clear pricing.
