Call a couple mechanics in your area to find out or is there something else you are seeking..?

In my experience for everything including labor front and back around here…..$1200 ballpark

The cost of pads and brake fluid for the truck should be all. Too simple not to do it yourself.

Why not just replace the pads, and leave the brake fluid be…? Just fill the reservoir up if it’s low.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Front and rear pads from Walmart or RockAuto should run you about $50 - $60
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I spent right at $1k doing my 2006 F350 4x4 a year ago. I bought new rotors, calipers and good pads all the way around. A shop doing the work would of probably been $2k.

I had a brake job done on an Acura RDX recently. I had all the rotors replaced with factory parts and I paid about $675.

I punched in 2020 1500 Silverado as a random "Late Model" at Rock Auto. They are "Out of Stock" on everything except AC Delco... $454 per caliper... OUCH!

how can you guys say what it cost without knowing what it needs....
brakes, rotors and installation will be right at 1000.00 dollars unless you go with the cheapy stuff and good luck with that most of those rotors arent true....
and yes if it just needs brake pads it will be cheaper

Why would you replace the calipers unless they are leaking? I wouldn't replace rotors either unless they are warped or scored. Brake pads are a maintenance part like an air filter etc.
