Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The braking systems on your 2026 Ram 1500 rely on front and rear rotors that perform different jobs: front rotors usually handle a greater share of kinetic energy during braking and often wear faster, while rear rotors help stabilize braking and share load especially when towing or carrying cargo. Because the front end absorbs most stopping force, you may notice front rotors develop heat-related issues or grooves sooner; rear rotors may last longer but can still warp or corrode if pads are worn or hardware seizes. At Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson in Tucson, AZ, our certified technicians inspect both axles and explain the condition and recommended action—resurface or replace—based on manufacturer specs and your driving habits. We use OEM parts, offer clear pricing, and highlight the immediate and long-term savings of correct repairs. Be sure to ask about our current service specials and service financing so you can address braking needs promptly. To protect your safety and investment, schedule service with our factory-trained team and keep your Ram performing at its best.
