Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding the difference between front and rear rotors helps you keep your 2016 Ford Explorer safe and responsive. Front rotors handle most of the stopping force because the vehicle’s weight shifts forward under braking; they often wear faster and may need replacement sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors still play a crucial role in overall balance and ABS function, especially during towing or steep descents. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our certified technicians inspect both axles, measure rotor thickness, and test for runout and vibration. We explain the condition in plain terms and show how delaying replacement can damage pads, calipers, and wheel bearings—adding expense. When you choose dealership service, you get OEM rotors matched to your Explorer, factory-calibrated installation, and warranty protection. We post seasonal offers under service specials, and if cost is a concern we provide service financing so you can schedule service today and pay over time. Our process focuses on safety, transparency, and long-term value so your Explorer brakes perform reliably mile after mile.
