Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front rotors and rear rotors play different roles: front rotors typically handle a greater share of stopping force and heat, so they often wear faster than rear rotors—especially on a truck like the 2012 Ram 2500. Rear rotors assist braking and provide stability while towing; they may last longer but still require attention when hauling heavy loads. Failing to address worn front rotors can lead to increased stopping distances, pedal vibration, and accelerated wear of pads and calipers. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver we inspect both front and rear systems, recommend resurfacing when safe, or OEM replacement when necessary. We highlight any promotions or loyalty discounts and make financing available so you can complete repairs now and spread payments over time. Take action today—schedule service or check our service specials to protect performance and safety.
