2013 Ford Explorer Brake Pads and Rotors

Replacing brake pads and rotors together on a 2013 Ford Explorer is often the most effective way to restore braking performance and avoid early rework. New pads on worn rotors can lead to uneven contact, vibration, and reduced braking efficiency; by contrast, installing matched pads and rotors ensures flat, consistent friction surfaces, smoother braking feel, and improved heat dissipation. At Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg we inspect both pads and rotors during every service to confirm thickness, runout, and surface condition; when rotors are within spec, machining may be an option, but if we detect scoring, warping, or excessive wear we recommend replacement. Using genuine Ford rotors and pads preserves braking characteristics the vehicle was designed for, including modulation and resistance to fading. Performing both replacements at once also saves labor costs and reduces downtime, delivering immediate value and longer-term reliability. For many customers, this combined approach proves more cost-effective than repeated independent repairs. We’ll provide a clear recommendation and estimate before work begins so you can decide with confidence.
