Hello,
Starting to tow a lot more than I used to, I want to upgrade my brakes and rotors. Does anyone know if the brake pad and rotor design has changed from 2019 ram 2500's to 2021 ram 2500's? Of course a lot of companies that make aftermarket high quality brakes do not have anything yet for this truck. They do for the 2019 model year, so I was wondering if there is any difference in the design from 2019 to 2021. Would it work for me to buy brake pads and rotors for a 2019 ram 2500, fitting on a 2021 model year? Thanks!
 
Also if anyone has suggestions for brake pads and rotors that work well for towing and last a long time please let me know!

Wear the stocks out first they are made for towing besides the trailer brakes are supposed to stop the trailer and truck breaks are meant to stop the truck... set the gain properly also go in to the trailer settings and set it to heavy electric and set the gain so when you press the brakes you can feel the trailer brake aswell use the exhaust brake if your diesel my truck has 14k miles the pads and rotors are just like new when i did my oil change i checked em out and no real signs of wear
