Brakes

[Ron Roman]

2023 White Lightning
I'm at 28k miles
Anyone have guidance on when to replace front pads.
Put on new Michelin's at 21k.
I know it's heavy and it ate cheap Hankooks pretty fast. I know about regenerative braking.
Still.....who has done any brakes work

The truck has disc brakes on all four wheels.

Calipers, pads, rotors. Just like any other disc brake system out there.

Check pad life, check rotors for corrosion or glazing. Lubricate brake caliper pins.

Non regen vehicles can go for 100k km's before needing pads, unlikely to need pads anytime soon on the lightning.

53,000 miles and no need for anything... tires are looking almost new, and Ford's service department said that brake pads show 7/8...

Thanks.

Hoping for owner who has had to do a brake job and at what interval.

That's what I want to hear

I just had my truck in for inspection. After 2 years, I'm at 37,000 miles and still have 8mm left. New brake pads start at between 10-12mm, so we have a long time if you replace at 3-4mm.

Excellent

There are more Lightning owners who have replaced battery modules than brakes. They are still a wear item but just barely.
