OEM FORD Brake pads

  • Braking:
Rating 5.0

I had a 2008 Ford Fusion and drove by large long distance (commuted for a while between SFO and LA).

Eventually I moved to the East Coast and needed to do mandatory car checks (started in DC). When we finally moved to NYC I was at the garage and needed to do the inspection. The guy said he cannot let me pass, because the brake pads where at the limit. I ask him to change them and mentioned that this is the first replacement of my brake pads and he was shaking his head in disbelief because I had almost exactly 100k miles on my odometer. I explained to him that almost 90% of the mileage was long distance ( minimum of 200 miles on way trips) and he still was saying “He never saw anybody having their first brake pads replaced at 100k miles”

Pros: brake pads lasted 100k miles
Cons: brake pads at the limit
Vehicle: Ford Fusion
Mileage: 100000 km

OEM FORD Brake pads

Braking is mostly regenerative, instead of using the brake pads. Your brake pads will probably last between 100k - 200k miles.

Pros: regenerative braking
Vehicle: Ford Maverick

OEM FORD Brake pads

I paid $750 for it in 2007. It had a lunar odometer (north of 400,000) and the gas gauge stopped working so you had to write the mileage on a sticky note and slap it on the dash. The seat belts were *sawed off* and all the safety features deactivated. The brakes were high-dollar Brembos and I owned it for three years as a scrap hauler and fishing access get-to-er. I sold it for... $750. To a teenager. He probably still has it. 91-95 F-150 for life. Those things were TANKS and will survive the apocalypse, same with the Chevy 1500s of the day, especially the Silverados.

Pros: high-dollar Brembos, survived apocalypse
Cons: gas gauge stopped working, seat belts sawed off, safety features deactivated
Vehicle: Ford
Mileage: 400000 km

Cons: groove getting worse
Vehicle: Audi TTS
Mileage: 1730 km

OEM FORD Brake pads

I bought a bike off a coworker and took it in to be serviced. Turns out the bike I bought was the equivalent of a model T Ford. They didn't make the brake pads for my model any more kinda old.
