    Looking to replace (upgrade) the stock rotors and pads on my 2019 Pro with just about 40k/miles.

    With oversized tires, planned bolt-ons that will add weight + I tow a boat occasionally I’d just like suggestions on what folks have done and liked when upgrading their braking systems.

    Any recommendations?

    I'd stick with OEM/Advics rotors, but perhaps go with a heavy duty truck or even a track pad like Hawk? No idea.
    I replaced all of mine with Advics parts and it's better than new, even though those were the factory parts to begin with.

    If you want increased braking power, your best bet will be getting a big brake kit or doing a tundra brake swap. Anything else than actually upgrading the caliper will be subpar. Plenty of people here running big tires with gear and add-ons on OEM brakes. With 295, 10 ply tires and about an extra 400lbs in weight I didn’t notice much of a difference with braking distance.
