several brake questions

I was hoping someone out there could tell me what the best brake pads for my 2006 Ford F150 are? I tow a lot and have worn my brakes out quick. Also, how much should a good brake job with quality pads cost me and should I use one of the local dealers or go elsewhere?

Thanks in advance!

There was a post the other day, several people said the Wagner Thermoquiet pads were good. Best price I found was Rock Auto, one of the sponsors.

thanks

thanks arnold! Anybody got a guess at how much I should expect to pay for a good brake job. Do dealerships do quality work or should look elsewhere?

IMO you can get a good job somewhere other than at the dealer and most likely save some dough.

If you are just replacing pads most anyone can do that and as far as turning the rotors I would consider just replacing them if they need resurfacing.
