Should I replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2023 Ford Explorer?The decision depends on rotor thickness and runout compared with the applicable minimum specification.

2023 Ford Explorer Brake SpecificationsThe 2023 Ford Explorer uses an automatic transmission with 10 speeds and is offered across trims with horsepower ranging from 300 to 400 hp and torque ranging from 310 to 415 lb-ft. Those performance differences can affect how the vehicle is driven, but brake condition must be determined through inspection rather than engine output alone. Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa checks the front and rear braking components as a system.

Brake service begins with measurement of the pad material remaining on all four corners. Technicians also measure rotor thickness and runout, then inspect calipers, hoses, hardware, and brake fluid condition. This process identifies whether the vehicle needs pad service, rotor service, fluid maintenance, or additional brake-system attention. The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule calls for brake fluid replacement every 30,000 miles.

Because no brake pad or rotor specification should be assumed from the vehicle’s engine or trim range, the correct recommendation follows the measured condition of each axle. Bring your 2023 Ford Explorer to Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa for an OEM-spec brake service — schedule service.
