If you have the HD fronts with the dual pistons and 13 rotors (330mm) it will have the larger 12.9 (328mm) rear rotors and calipers too. The light duty rotors are 11.8 (302mm) on the front and 12 (305mm) on the rear. Yes the rear rotors are larger diameter than the fronts on the light duty setup but the rears are not vented I've seen a lot of threads regarding the Gen1 brakes and upgrading them to the Gen2, but when looking at brakes, I found that there are still listings for standard/heavy duty. How do I know what I have? Since it's NA, I would guess standard, but I do have the towing package and I can't remember if that included upgraded brakes or not

Reduced brake response. Another symptom of bad or failing brake shoes is reduced brake response. If the brake shoes become excessively worn or overheated, their capacity to slow the vehicle may be reduced. This may result in a vehicle that takes longer to stop when the brakes are applied, especially during high speed or heavy braking situations
Once you've located the brake pad, try to get a gauge for how thick the pad is. If you can clearly tell that there is over 1/4 of an inch left on the pad, the brake pads are likely fine. If the pad is clearly under ¼ of an inch, it's likely time for brake service and you should make an appointment with a mechanic soon The assumption is if you buy heavy duty brakes then you do heavy duty braking (either racing or you live in an extremely hilly area), so you have more heat to dissipate. The only thing a larger pad would do is wear a little bit slower.

I assume you have trailer brakes and back up lights Heavy-duty vehicles such as semi-trucks and trailers rely on an air brake system to help them brake efficiently and safely.

The brake controller sets the timing and level of power output to the trailer brakes when activated by pressing the brake pedal in the vehicle. How do I know that the towbar I have.
