Light Trucks & Pickups: Brake, Cooling, AC & Wheel Parts

Light trucks, pickups and light commercial vehicles carry payloads on rough roads, which puts extra load on wheels, brakes and cooling systems. Wheels must match multi-hole patterns such as 6*139.7 and 5*139.7 and carry the vehicle's load rating. Buyers look for strong rims, durable brake drums and discs, and radiators sized for towing and hauling.

• Choose light truck wheels by PCD (for example 5*139.7 or 6*139.7), offset and load rating rather than looks alone.
• Choose brake drums and discs suited to repeated loaded braking, and check drum inner diameter wear limits during service.
• Pick radiators with enough cooling capacity for towing, low-speed hauling and hot climates.
• Match AC condensers to the original mounting points so they fit with the reinforced front-end structures common on pickups.
