Normally good metallic brake pads provide the very best stopping power when towing.
A downside is they do give off a little carbon dust especially on the front wheels.
I am running the top of the Duralast Max metallic's from Autozone on the front of both my Jeep, and my 2500 Dodge Cummins which tows over 10k.
Also like the lifetime warranty so I never have to pay for another set again. They cost a little bit more than the cheaper lines, but they are well worth the difference in money.
Some people like ceramics, but I had a bad experience with them a few years back while towing and will never use them again on the front nor can I recommend them. But that is just my opinion.
A large "C" clamp will work for a tool to push the caliper pistons back in.
