Bumping this old thread.
So, early 2017 dealer said my rear pads were getting low(4mm or so), so I purchased Rabestos EHT pads and Motorcraft rotors. The EHT pads seem to get good reviews. I still haven’t installed them because the rear pads still had quite a bit of life left in them last I checked.
I’m at just under 70k miles now, and I’ll be checking the front brakes during my next tire rotation, probably next weekend, but I’m thinking the fronts will be getting down there as well.
If I need front brakes, I’d like to get the same pads as the rears, but I’m running into an issue.
Raybestos doesn’t have the Sport model listed for 2014(not sure about other years). When I look on Rockauto, the EHT pad they have is PN EHT1508H, but it says w/o Heavy Duty brakes.
Now, I believe sometime mid 2013(MY) they changed all Explorers to the same front brakes, so even the standard Explorers had the larger brakes that the Sport had.
Can anyone confirm that all Explorers in 2014 had the same size rotors and same calipers? I think if the same rotor/calipers are used across the board in 2014, I should be able to purchase the EHT1508H pads for the front even if they don’t specifically state with HD brakes.
Thoughts? Comments? Thanks?
