Another vote for the Wagner therma quiets. Mine have lasted for a long time on stock rotors.

I've seen lots of recommendations for Wagner ThermoQuiets, but most don't specify ceramic or semi-metallic. I've heard that semis provide better stopping over the ceramics, but the trade off is shorter life and more dust. Truth? Fiction? What do you recommend on a daily driver. I tow a trailer 2-4 times a month.

As you know these trucks are heavy and don't have top notch braking power. Also check into cermamic pad heat up time. I had heard it takes a bit for the ceramic to "heat up". There are some semi's that are "low dust" what ever that means. Hawk is one brand. If you tow and do steep hills also look for cooling and get rotors that have a lifetime warranty (ask what lifetime means, and not AutoZone)
I have heard good things about Wagner.
Happy Wrenching!

As much as I like the appeal of the lower brake dust of ceramics, I keep thinking about pulling my horse and trailer, and wondering if I'm better off going semi-metallic. I had hoped choosing a pad wouldn't be like choosing between 5W20 and 5W30. Shouldn't be this hard LOL.
