At Courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in FL, we service the 2026 Ram 1500 with a focus on safety, convenience, and factory-grade quality.

Choosing our dealership over an independent shop means faster diagnostics, access to manufacturer software updates, and a service record that preserves resale value.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding the difference between front and rear rotors helps you make smarter maintenance choices for your 2026 Ram 1500. Front rotors typically handle more braking force and therefore wear faster because most braking load transfers to the front axle during deceleration. Rear rotors often last longer but still require inspection—imbalanced wear between front and rear can lead to pulling, noise, and reduced braking efficiency. At Courtesy Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram we assess both axles, identify uneven wear patterns, and recommend resurfacing or replacement when it delivers the best long-term value. Addressing rotor issues early prevents collateral damage to pads, calipers, and sensors—reducing repair complexity and expense. We back our work with dealership-quality parts, technician certification, and clear warranties; any warranty-covered work must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.
