Brake temperatures.

Any idea what temperatures are usual for these trucks. I've been doing some pad shopping for my truck and the type of materiel that will stop a vehicle the quickest is different depending on what temperature range your bakes are at.

I know that the brakes on these trucks can fade pretty badly if you really have to get on them a couple times, but I've only been in that position twice in the last 8 years.

Pads that resist fading... a plus for sure. At the same time I don't want a pad that performs poorly most of the time I'm using it.
