Brake upgrade recommendations
I have a 2018 F-350 and tow fairly heavy while maxing out my payload on a daily basis. My trailer brakes are the standard electric brakes that come on most trailers. They’re ok. It would be pretty expensive to switch the trailer brakes to disk so I’m thinking about upgrading my truck brakes. What would be the way to go when upgrading the truck brakes to something with solid reliability, long service life and the best stopping power for towing and hauling heavy?
Thanks

Holy cow! Well.....that’s kinda what I was expecting to pay on the trailer. I do carry a heavy/max payload daily, sometimes over, and tow several different trailers. Only one trailer is really heavy though.

PowerStop Z36 rotors and pads. Best upgrade I've ever made on any vehicle. Day and night difference in stopping power. $560 for all four corners.

Problem is finding Ford/motorcraft ceramic pads.
I did find rear ........ BRF-1456. O'reilly's lists them (and a few others)..
I have looked numerous places and have not found a Ford/motorcraft ceramic for the front.
