2020 Ford Explorer Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing both brake pads and rotors together on a 2020 Ford Explorer often provides better performance and longevity than installing new pads on worn rotors. When rotors are glazed, warped, or below thickness specification, installing new pads alone can lead to uneven wear, vibration, and reduced braking performance. Our technicians inspect both pads and rotors and recommend resurfacing or replacement only when it benefits your Explorer’s safety and economy. Using OEM rotors and pads maintains designed pedal feel and stopping distances and helps preserve long-term resale value. Scheduling these services at our dealership ensures correct machining tolerances, proper bedding-in procedures, and accurate ABS and brake-system recalibration when required.
