Disc brake pads are the most frequently replaced component in your Workhorse P42 braking system. The friction material your P42 calipers press against the rotor surface wears down with every stop, and the right pad formulation for your Workhorse P42, your driving style, and American climate directly affects your stopping distance, rotor lifespan, brake noise, and dust output.
A Workhorse P42 disc brake pad is a steel backing plate bonded to a friction material compound. When you press the brake pedal on your P42, hydraulic pressure forces the caliper pistons to squeeze the pads against the spinning rotor, converting kinetic energy into heat and slowing your Workhorse P42. The friction material wears gradually and must be replaced when it reaches the minimum safe thickness, typically 3mm, to maintain full stopping performance on your P42.
Ceramic Brake Pads for the Workhorse P42
Ceramic pads are the premium everyday choice for most Workhorse P42 drivers. Formulated from a dense ceramic compound, P42 ceramic pads maintain consistent friction effectiveness across a wide temperature range, including cold starts on your Workhorse P42 at sub-zero temperatures. They produce minimal dust, run quieter in stop-and-go city traffic on the P42, and are significantly gentler on Workhorse P42 rotor surfaces than metallic alternatives.
Semi-Metallic Brake Pads for the Workhorse P42
Semi-metallic pads excel under sustained heat loads on the Workhorse P42. They are the preferred choice for P42 trucks and SUVs used for towing, and performance Workhorse P42 vehicles where braking generates high sustained temperatures. Semi-metallic pads provide more aggressive stopping bite at high temperatures on your Workhorse P42, at the cost of slightly more noise and dust in everyday driving.
Our brake pad selection for the Workhorse P42 is curated specifically for American road and climate conditions. Every ceramic pad confirmed for the Workhorse P42 in our catalogue is evaluated for cold-weather friction effectiveness on your P42, not just room-temperature lab specs. Brands including Akebono, EBC, and Raybestos are stocked as authorized retailer products for the Workhorse P42, meaning full manufacturer warranty and zero grey-market risk on every P42 purchase.
How often should I replace my Workhorse P42 disc brake pads?
Most Workhorse P42 brake pads last between 40,000 and 70,000 kilometres, but this varies based on driving style and conditions. American city driving tends to wear P42 pads faster than highway driving. Inspect Workhorse P42 pads at every oil change and replace when friction material reaches 3mm or less.
Should I replace front and rear brake pads on my Workhorse P42 at the same time?
Not necessarily. Front brakes on the Workhorse P42 handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and typically wear faster. Always replace pads as an axle pair on the P42, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain even braking force.
Are ceramic or semi-metallic pads better for my Workhorse P42 in American winters?
Ceramic pads are the better everyday choice for most Workhorse P42 drivers. For P42 drivers who tow regularly or drive performance Workhorse P42 vehicles, semi-metallic pads deliver superior stopping bite and heat resistance under demanding conditions.
