It depends on the truck. On my Dodge Ram 2500, you can't beat the OEM pads...they are outstanding!

One thing to consider when it comes to brake pads. Brake pads that are touted as being "better" - better stopping ability specifically (debatable), perhaps slower wearing - may tend to wear brake disks, drums faster. It is easer and more cost effective to replace pads and shoes than disks, drums.

I put EBC yellows on this past spring. It took about 1000 miles for the hissing to go away, but after that they have been great!

I had EBC yellow pads and slotted rotors on my last truck (Nissan Frontier) they both performed very well. So well that I was rear ended by a guy when I made an emergency stop because of the cars in front of me and he said "I saw you hit the breaks, but my car just wouldn't stop fast enough". I missed hitting the guy in front of me by a few inches.
I used OEM pads on the front of my Tundra since they lasted over 80,000 miles and the truck will stop very well with the factory equipment. I couldn't imagine adding the TRD big brake kit that Toyota offers for a Tundra.

I'm running Hawk pads on mine....work well, but difficult to really tell with antilock brakes.

Hawk LTS pads with Cryo rotors on my F350, they will stop my truck and camper like nobody's business. No squealing, no dusting, they just work and have been going strong for over 30k. Been very happy and recommended them to friends, who have been very happy as well.
