TRQ Brake Pad & Rotor Kit Semi-Metallic Compatible with 2009-2013 Ram

In this review the TRQ Brake Pad & Rotor Kit is evaluated as a full rear brake replacement option for 2009-2013 Ram 2500 and 2009-2010 Ram 3500 trucks. The kit's biggest selling point is that it bundles semi-metallic pads, premium G-coated rotors, rebuilt calipers and replacement brake hoses into one package, making it an attractive choice for DIYers and shops who want a complete, direct-fit rear axle service without sourcing parts separately. The reviewer found fit and finish generally good, clear installation advantages from pre-assembled components, and solid stopping performance once bedded.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes rear semi-metallic pads, two calipers, two G-coated rotors and two brake hoses so a rear-axle overhaul can be completed from one box.
• Premium G-coating: The rotors arrive with a corrosion-resistant G-coating that helps reduce surface rust and extends usable life between swaps.
• Semi-metallic pads: The included pads deliver confident stopping power and work well for towing and truck duties without surprising fade in normal use.
• Direct-fit components: Calipers and hoses are supplied as direct replacements to minimize modifications and speed installation for experienced DIYers.
• Compatibility guidance: The product lists detailed reference numbers and vehicle fit notes to help confirm fitment for Ram 2500/3500 model years covered.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 with single rear wheels and 2011-2013 Ram 2500 trucks who prefer a single purchase that replaces pads, rotors, calipers and hoses at once. It suits owners who do their own brake work or independent shops that want a time-saving, ready-to-install rear axle package.

Drivers seeking OE-brand, one-off parts or those who need front brake components should look elsewhere, since this package is specifically a rear axle semi-metallic pad and rotor kit with calipers and hoses for the listed model years and wheel configurations.
