Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking demands on a 2016 Ram 3500 make rotor condition critical. Front rotors typically do more work because weight transfers forward under braking, so they often wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors still play a vital role—especially when towing or hauling—so uneven maintenance can reduce overall stopping performance and safety. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Ram FIAT Denver in Denver, CO, our technicians measure rotor thickness, check for runout and look for heat cracks or scoring that indicate replacement rather than resurfacing. We use OEM-grade rotors where recommended and clearly explain the advantages: better heat dissipation, correct fitment, and longer life. Take advantage of our service specials and service financing options to manage cost without delaying necessary work.
