Many manufacturers offer kits that include pads and rotors under one part number, making it easy for you to upgrade your brake system with matched components. Based on the Ford Ranger, Ranger Raptor X delivers an ultra-strength frame, giant bash plate, and an elevated design that allow it to thrive in environments other 4x4 trucks dare not tread. Caliper CoversĬaliper covers don’t offer any performance benefits, but they do allow you to customize your vehicle and hide what can be an unsightly part of the brake system. Ranger Raptor X is the benchmark for off-road performance. While most rotors have a flat, featureless surface, there are performance models that use slots, drilled holes, or a combination of the two. The rotors provide a surface for brake pads to compress against. Brake Rotorsīrake rotors, or brake discs, connect to the vehicle’s hub. Multiple formulations are available, including ceramic, semi-metallic, and organic. This creates friction and brings your vehicle to a stop. Pads are inserted into your vehicle’s brake calipers, where they are compressed against the rotors when you press on your brake pedal. Brake Padsīrake pads consist of a high-friction material on a metal backing plate. Performance brakes are particularly important for trucks that have been equipped with oversize wheels and tires, which add heavy rotating mass. Our selection of performance brakes will help you stop faster and smoother than you thought possible. Whether you're towing a trailer, hauling heavy loads, drag racing, or just running errands, your hard-working truck deserves brakes that can stop on a dime.
