I just got a new (to me!) 2015 GMC Yukon XL 2500 SLT 4WD. It's a fantastic vehicle and will replace a well loved Denali. Read more about it here: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/thr...ving-up-from-2001-gmc-yukon-xl-denali.109814/

The 2500 needs new brake rotors as the old ones are warped (I knew this pre purchase). I'd like to replace the pads as well. This will be a tow vehicle so drilled/slotted rotors would be nice (or would they?).

What are your recommendations for best rotors and pads for this beast? Should I go drilled and slotted? Should I go ceramic? Any particularly good or bad experiences?
Wow, I didn't know they ever made a GMC Yukon XL 2500 after 2013. Is your 2015 a SPECIAL USE vehicle by GMC?

I've had very good results with the drilled and slotted Detroit Axle rotors/ceramic pads on my '08 Dodge RAM 1500.
Have had them for three years with no issues. Great performance, low dust and good, consistent stopping power.
The Zinc coating prevents corrosion on the unswept surfaces, keeping them looking good too.

Bought a set of four rotors/pads for our '13 Tahoe that I'll be installing next weekend:
Excellent quality, fit and performance at a great price.
