Hawk's LTS rear street pad, part HB702Y.662, uses the brand's Ferro-Carbon friction formulation and a .662 thickness rating. Hawk developed the compound for heavier vehicles, applying its severe-duty brake pad friction technology to the braking demands of trucks and SUVs. For a 2011-2012 Dodge Durango or Jeep Grand Cherokee, that means a rear pad built around the heat and mass of a full-size SUV rather than a passenger-car compound.
Against stock, the manufacturer highlights strong and balanced initial bite, hot or cold, greater fade resistance, low dust output, and excellent pad and rotor life. The premium over a generic replacement is easiest to justify if you want steadier braking during repeated hard stops and cleaner wheels. Note that the manufacturer states all Hawk Performance compounds are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors, and Hawk pads are designed to work with iron or metal rotors, so confirm your rotor type before ordering.
Fitment deserves a careful check. Hawk's product naming covers 11-12 Durango and Grand Cherokee applications, but its own fitment list shows later model years, and one entry notes that the 2025 Dodge Durango R/T Plus 5.7 fits with the exception of Brembo brakes. Search by year, trim, and brake package, such as "2011 Durango rear LTS ferro-carbon pads" or "Grand Cherokee rear low dust street brake pads," and verify against your VIN before purchase.
The manufacturer's fitment list for the 2025 Dodge Durango R/T Plus 5.7 excludes Brembo-equipped brakes. Other trims with Brembo calipers were not confirmed in our research, so check with the manufacturer before ordering.
No. The manufacturer states that Hawk's compounds are not compatible with carbon ceramic rotors and that these pads are designed for iron or metal rotors.
