Wagner SD® Brake Pads for Heavy Loads & Punishing Roads

Extreme Conditions

Towing, hauling and driving in challenging conditions can be hard on your vehicle. Whether you’re towing a boat or trailer, hauling a heavy load in the bed of your truck, or traveling in tough conditions, every part of your ride takes a beating – including the brakes.

When you hit the brake pedal, you’ll notice that your vehicle handles differently when loaded or when you’re bouncing down an uneven trail. You may experience increased stopping distances due to the added weight of the load, the trailer you’re hauling or the stress of traveling on a rough two-track road.

An Important Decision

Your choice of brake pad can have an impact on the braking power of your vehicle. If you routinely tow, haul or go off-roading, it is critical that you select a brake pad that works as hard as you do. Hardworking trucks and SUVs deserve brake pads that deliver the durability and performance you need.
