Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2026 Ram 3500 uses sizable front and rear rotors tuned for heavy-duty braking and towing. Front rotors typically handle more heat and stopping force, so they often wear faster than the rear set—especially under frequent towing or downhill driving. Rear rotors still play a vital role in stability and parking brake function, and uneven wear front-to-rear can lead to vibration and reduced stopping distance. At Larry H. Miller Dodge RAM FIAT Tucson in Tucson, AZ, our certified technicians assess both axle groups with OEM specifications and measure rotor thickness precisely. We explain whether resurfacing or full replacement delivers the best value and long-term safety, and we point out how timely repairs avoid additional costs such as warped rotors, damaged pads, or ABS sensor issues.
