After many months and much research, I found the replacement brake rotors for my 2013 Ford Raptor pickup on the American Trucks website. I called in to make the order and spoke to Erik K. To place. After some conversation Erik made and effort to convert me to a similar Powerstop product that I had already reviewed and eliminated as a choice. The issue was, I desired a brake rotor with a dimpled and grooved design as opposed to a drilled and slotted model. My contention was that, in my experience, drilled rotors had a propensity to crack over many heat cycles. Erik contested this fervently but I held my ground, preferring to insist on the dimpled and grooved item. Some time was spent going back and forth over the merits of drilled versus grooved rotors but finally my original order was placed as well as for a companion set of brake pads made by EBC. Again, some attempts was made to sell me a Powerstop product which I declined. I don't fault Erik for trying to sell Powerstop products as the reason for my call was to ascertain correct sizing and application and Erik certainly provided that. What I find suspicious is that when calling for technical input, it should be made clear that Powerstop is inducing your representatives to feature their products over other comparable ones. Erik did, indeed, discuss the merits of various designs of brake parts and provided, as well as price comparisons. I just found an emphasis on one particular manufacturer over another to be a bit shady. Ultimately, my selections prevailed and I placed my original order. If one manufacturers products are unreliable, poorly made or have other demonstrable faults, they shouldn't appear on your website. Consumer complaints and returns are an accurate gauge of these factors and your product offerings should reflect that. As truck owners, we rely on American Trucks and other vendors to supply us with the best of what the industry has to offer at a cost below that of what is charged by dealers and third party mechanics. Also, many of us wrench on our own trucks and for that, American trucks and others are a valuable necessary source for our parts and accessories.

Hard to return items. Make sure, you have exact info and the amount of pictures that they need for a return. Because once you are in the return section and then go to your camera to take a picture, The return section cancels and goes all the way back to the beginning. And then you have to start the whole process over again.

Our initial order didn't work out. The part was too large so needed returned. The customer service team was very responsive and helpful.
I had trouble placing my order online, so called and not only placed my order but got good advice. Got a better option and it was a great fit and install
I have placed multiple orders with this site before and for some reason my last order placed was charged twice and then cancelled once, still waiting for the refund on my account.

I've been ordering from Xtreme Terrain for about the last 6 months. I've ordered quite a bit of stuff and it always comes fast and they have difficult to find items. I recommend them to everyone.
My experience was excellent Ms Taney C assisted me today. She was friendly patient and helpful. What more could you ask for?! My issue was resolved by her with no hassles. It was a pleasant experience.
Thank you Ms Taney C
I have had great experiences with Extreme Terrain and that is why I keep returning to purchase what I need.
This is my second time shopping with Extreme Terrain so far everything has worked out very well. Had help when needed, and items arrived as advertised.
I have rarely not been able to find what i need or am looking for. If i don't see it i simply email them and i get a reply in a day or two with a possible solution or other options that may work for what i am doing. The prices have always been reasonable.
Aloha would be awesome to get some shipping discounts to Hawai'i if spend a certain amount of money. Just a thought. Mahalo and God bless!
Answer: They have broken several federal consumer protection laws in my 2 experiences with them.
Answer: Scam as far as I'm concerned. Cheat you out of product and don't make it right, how else do you describe them?
Answer: Not worth giving this company a second chance. Other more legit companies to purchase from.
Answer: Have a lot of time, be patient and expect nothing. ANd you will be fine. If


Hello Gary,
Thank you for taking a moment to share your feedback with AmericanTrucks. We were disappointed to hear that you felt that you were being pressured to purchase PowerStop brakes when you spoke with a member of our Sales Team. This is not indicative of the level of service we strive to provide to our customers, and we do apologize for this experience.
We would like to review this situation more, so we can provide feedback to our Sales Team, but we were unable to locate an order with the information shared in your review. If you could email your order information to [email protected] and kindly include a copy of your review for context, we will be happy to review this experience.
Our Sales Team Representatives are very knowledgeable about our products, and they should offer suggestions to our customers, but a customer should not be made to feel that we are pushing one specific product line.
