For class 1 and class 2 trucks, Raybestos truck brake pads are built to perform. Attributes include mechanically attached friction whenever the application demands it, providing increased safety through the reduction of rust jacking and bonding failure, and best-in-box formulations specific to each application that meet or exceed OE design performance. The product line provides coverage for the majority of applications on the road today, including Cadillac, Chevy, Dodge, Ford, GMC, Honda, Jeep, Lincoln, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota and Volvo.

For medium duty and air disc applications, these Raybestos specialty brake pads provide outstanding performance and stopping power, even in extreme load and temperature conditions. One hundred percent of the brake pads are manufactured with specially formulated semi-metallic friction materials that are mechanically attached to the backing plate. This unique process improves shear strength on large puck assemblies, reducing pad end lift and noise while increasing safety and pad life. Coverage includes Freightliner, Hino, International, Isuzu, Kenworth, Mack, Mercedes, Mitsubishi Fuso, Navistar, Peterbuilt, Pierce, Sterling, Volvo and Workhorse.
