EliteMAX Rear Brake Pads for Ford Expedition 2007-2017 - Heavy-Duty

In this review of the EliteMAX rear brake pads, the bottom line is simple: these pads are built for drivers who tow, drive in mountains, or demand fade-free braking in extended use. The reviewer found them to be a heavy-duty replacement that preserves a firm pedal feel and consistent stopping power across temperature swings, and the package includes everything needed for a clean swap. For owners of Ford Expedition models from 2007 to 2017 who want reinforced, low-noise pads that resist heat and glazing, these warrant serious consideration.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty control: Engineered to deliver smooth, fade-free braking under towing loads and prolonged downhill stops for confident control.
• Temperature stability: Formulation maintains consistent pedal feel and stopping power from extreme heat to sub-zero conditions to reduce fade and unwanted noise.
• Reinforced construction: Reinforcements resist glazing, pad cracking, and heat damage that can occur during mountain driving or frequent heavy use.
• Complete replacement kit: Includes stainless-steel hardware and high-temp lubricant so the installation is straightforward and no extra parts are required.
• Break-in guidance: A step-by-step break-in guide is included to help achieve optimal bedding and immediate, reliable performance after installation.

Who It's For

These rear pads are best for owners of Ford Expedition 2007-2017, Lincoln MKT 2013-2019, and Navigator 2007-2017 who regularly tow trailers, drive in mountainous terrain, or need a more durable pad than standard OEM options. They suit drivers who value consistent pedal feel and low noise during heavy or prolonged braking.

Drivers who rarely tow, do mostly short city trips, or prefer ultra-low initial cost replacements might look elsewhere; for everyday commuting a less specialized pad can be adequate and cheaper upfront.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

• More specialized and built for heavy use, so it may be higher cost than basic replacement pads for light urban driving.
