2023 Ford Explorer Brake Pads and Rotors

The decision to replace brake pads and rotors together for your 2023 Ford Explorer is an investment in consistent stopping performance and long-term value. When new pads are installed on worn rotors, you may experience noise, uneven wear, or reduced braking efficiency that can lead to more frequent service visits. Our certified technicians at Coggin Ford Jacksonville inspect both pads and rotors during every brake service and recommend the correct course of action: resurfacing when tolerances allow, or full replacement when wear or heat damage is present. We use genuine Ford parts matched to your Explorer’s engineering to preserve pedal feel and braking balance across all four wheels, especially important for an SUV built for towing up to 5,300 lbs and dynamic highway use. Choosing to address pads and rotors together reduces labor duplication, minimizes downtime, and provides a cleaner, longer-lasting brake system overall. We also include a final road test and quality assurance checks so you leave confident in the vehicle’s safety.
