The 2018 Ford F-150 is part of the 13th generation F-150 lineup (P552 chassis, 2015 to 2020 production), and brake pads are a regular maintenance item on this truck. Most 2018 F-150 owners replace front pads every 30,000 to 50,000 miles depending on driving style, load, and terrain, with rear pads typically lasting 50,000 to 70,000 miles. Trucks used heavily for towing, hauling, or mountain driving wear pads faster than commuter trucks.
The 2018 F-150 weighs between 4,069 lbs (regular cab 4x2 XL) and 5,684 lbs (SuperCrew 4x4 Limited or Raptor), and pad wear scales with weight. Trucks pulling fifth wheels or hauling beds full of cargo go through pads faster than empty commuter trucks. Front pads carry roughly 70% of stopping force, so front pads always wear out before rear pads.
We supply OEM-specification 2018 Ford F-150 brake pads in two compound options. Ceramic pads are the right choice for daily-driver F-150s used mostly for commuting and light hauling. They produce less brake dust, run quieter, and extend rotor life. Semi-metallic pads are the right choice for towing duty, work trucks, and trucks driven hard in mountain terrain. They have stronger cold bite, better high-temperature performance, and a firmer pedal feel under heavy load. Both compounds meet OEM Ford specification, both work with Ford's electronic pad wear sensor system, and both come with anti-rattle clips and shims where applicable.
For most 2018 F-150 owners doing typical daily driving with occasional light hauling, ceramic is the better choice. For 2018 F-150 owners who tow trailers regularly, drive heavy work loads, or live in mountainous terrain, semi-metallic delivers the consistent high-temperature performance that ceramic pads cannot match. We can recommend the right compound based on your specific use case, just call.

Tow a fifth wheel through the mountains, needed semi-metallic for the heat. Vaz confirmed my Max Tow brake package and shipped the heavy duty set. Slight squeak the first 100 miles then completely settled in. Strong stopping power on long descents now, exactly what I needed.
Very nice info and right to the point. I am not sure if this is really the best place to ask but do you guys have any ideea where to hire some professional writers? Thanks in advance :)
