2024 Ford ranger XLT FX4 2.3L POOR STOPPING DISTANCE.

[superj]

My father in law has an fx4 xlt and i have a 2wd stx. We have the same brand and model of tire, goodyear wrangler terrain, something like that

The difference is his were 255/65/18 and mine are 255/70/17 so the difference is shorter sidewall so the tires don't flex as much. So they should actually stop better in fx4 wheels.

It's because Ford put cheap organic pads on the truck. I'm going to upgrade mine to semi metallic pads.

That's the consensus on ceramic pads? I ran ceramics on my focus and they were amazing. I loved the lack of dust on my wheels and corrosion left behind if not cleaned regularly. I was going to swap to ceramic pads but I guess I will do more research before making that decision.

If anyone has any experience on our trucks let me know.

Same issue with the 24’ Ranger Lariat.

This Ranger stopping issue has been noted in various national car reviews as being the worst for all mid size pick ups. It is not new. It is a given.

Watching......

My 24 Lariat FX4 Ranger is the same. I have to almost stand on pedal to get it to stop. If you resolve issue Bulldog36526, let me know.

same problem and the dealership can't figure it out, see my post about 2025 ranger brake problem. sometimes it has brakes then other times you have to stand on it to barely get it to stop.
