Im thinking that may be why Ford replaced them.

My wife has a 2021 Ranger The dealer sold us a truck that had shitty brakes they would go to the floor.

Brought it back 3 times and still mushy They say it's stopping 2 years later I was tired of these brakes . I find out that it needed the ABS bleed .

I got Forscan and ran the ABS bleed a couple times Now it's real good almost too good

When you ran the bleed, you don't open any of the bleeder screws, just let the truck go through an ABS bleed cycle. Is that correct?

Upper right. Real easy, No round drum behind it.

That's what's under my hood. I have a '24 that was built in Dec of '24.

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 issue with the 24’ Ranger Lariat.

EBC Yellow pads

Can't find them for a 2024 ranger . Maybe I'm not looking it up right. Can you find them ?

Yup don't let any fluid out

You can ask EBC directly. I ran those on my f150 best pads ever EBC recommends off road only

You need to take yours to the dealer to refresh the EBB brake system.

Have a 2025. I noticed that the brakes are not very responsive as well. I have less than 200 miles on it so I thought maybe there's something that needs breaking-in (no pun.) If it doesn't clear up in the break-in period I will probably take it in to get checked out.

in quick stops, mine tends to pull to one side. Im not sure if its one more than the other, but right seems to be predominant.
my tires are all equal on pressure, but it still happens.
Otherwise I can agree that you have to be dominant with your brakes if you want to stop quick,

Brake pads do need to be broken in with no panic stops so they get hot. Otherwise they will glaze over and never be good. Ive got 600 miles on mine and still are taking it easy on them. They should be fine now.

I noticed the first couple posters have FX4 trims so they have those crappy wagon wheel tires on them. Tires make all the difference in braking performance. I'd bet a regular Ranger with the regular tires stops better than an FX4.

You sorta want it to go right that way it's heading onto the shoulder and not the other way. Sure wouldn't want to be in left lane with a 60 ton tractor trailer barreling down at ya.

try pumping 2-3 times then press the brakes makes them feel alot better, I
