While that might be what they say this really depends on what tow vehicle you have. For example I’d never tow 3,000 lbs with no brakes with my old ‘98 Grand Cherokee, the ‘07 Grand could do it because it has much better brakes.

Hopefully this isn't a hijack. I did the front brakes on my Suburban last weekend due to a pulling left issue, and then hauled the boat yesterday. It's taking them a while to break in or something. My wife didn't like them when she had it out before that, and I don't either yet, especially with the boat. Used Napa premium pads too (ceramic).

It's almost like a little air in the lines, but I didn't open the system, just pushed the caliper pistons back. Master cylinder had plenty of fluid the whole time too.
