Unless multiple owners across the country all with Ford rangers are improperly torquing their lug nuts every 16-25k miles…. This is just not the issue. Nor is it “you drive too hard” “you ride the brake” “you drive too soft” “you tow a 3k lbs trailer” or any of the other things that Ford has...

And mine did the same thing with powerstop pads... it's the rotors that are the issue. Not the pads.

I literally never apply the parking brake. ha! And mine did the same thing.

Oh. I should have mentioned. I replaced the pads with power stop heavy duty pads last time I replaced the rotors. Same issue 18k miles later.

How many miles are on the drilled and slotted rotors? I’m very interested in seeing if that fixes the problem in the long run.

It’s almost certainly the rears. Total nightmare for me. I have replaced or turned them every 18k miles so far. Just picked up the truck again made Ford standby the 2 year parts warranty this time interestingly… Ford has updated the rear rotor in some way note the B revision indicator in the...

Yup. They are there. Both sides.

I’ll check and report back. I don’t think about the parking brake much though… I just don’t use it much. Pretty flat here and I’m just not in the habit of setting it like I used to be with a manual trans.

I would judge it more by the existence of slots and cross drilling than cost.

Yeah, I think it's honestly some combination of shitty rotors and the advancetrac applying only the rear brakes on light braking. But who knows. There was a TSB about the rear calipers hanging up, but it doesn't apply to my VIN.

Not terribly often... but more importantly 5 or 6 k miles ago and I just noticed the warping. Plus, my shop uses a torque wrench.

Nah.... after the last go round I started really watching my footing. Plus... I am far from the only one with the issue. Almost all of the accounts I have read have been right at that 15-18k mile mark. I think it's a combination of the ABS programming and just plain old shitty rotors. The...

I don't use the parking brake... and hardly ever drive the truck hard enough to turn on AdvanceTrac. I had a tech tell me that I just didn't brake hard enough and so the ABS was just using the rear brakes... which... maybe... but... dumb. Never had brake longevity issues with any of the other 5...

OK, I know you all know the deal... my rear rotors warp every 18k miles like clockwork. 3 times now (four if you count the time they did a garbage job turning them) So the last time I did powerstop pads and brand new motorcraft rotors. There were no powerstop rotors available, and no ford pads...
