    OEM Or Aftermarket Brakes? Recommendations.

    I have the two mounting pins for each front rotor and I have Centre cooling fins on my Platinum . . U mean I have the smaller rotor and non HD pads then?

    OEM Or Aftermarket Brakes? Recommendations.

    You must mean that the OEM part is one standard size - and that if I were to buy the larger aftermarket rotor, I would need a larger caliper as well? :-p You guys are sooo polite!

    Yes, management terrain management system. I know the product I've purchased. AWD! I was just letting all know what I went through when we purchased our vehicle.

    OEM Or Aftermarket Brakes? Recommendations.

    When I was at the dealership, we went over the window stickers with the salesperson and found that some of the Platinum units up for sale had designations of 4WD or AWD. I've found out that many sites designate the size of rotor as either 12.8" or 13.9" - so when the weather takes a turn for the...

    That is just the problem I guess - getting old. I just can't believe that they would put such a nice power plant in my vehicle, and pair it up with bike brakes. I recall watching a newer episode of Cops where on a pursuit the Explorer Interceptor had to back off due to brakes overheating...

    I have a 2016 Platinum. There seems to be a part number difference whether its an AWD or a 4WD for brake kits from powerstop. is this a question of heavy duty or not? I don't know. The calipers from the factory seem fine, but when I drive her hard I'm starting to get heat and front rotor...

    Ordered 2016 Ford Platinum on 1/29/2015...

    I went to the etis site again and the build date is now there as March 11th. I wonder if that means the difference in the two sites means day started and date finished. Like how long does it take for a factory order to roll down the assembly line from start to finish?

    Ordered 2016 Ford Platinum on 1/29/2015...

    I have no idea, but the Etis site isn't working for my VIN. It recognizes that it is a Ford Explorer, but still gives a generic build date. I am registered on the Etis site too. As far as I have read, the link above will only produce window stickers of newer models. The site can't provide a...
