TRQ Rear Brake Caliper Set Compatible with 2013-2018 Ford Explorer

In this review of the TRQ rear brake caliper set the bottom line is straightforward: this kit is for owners or DIY mechanics who need a direct fit, OE replacement for the rear calipers on select Ford Explorer, Police Interceptor, Taurus SHO and Lincoln models. The review finds the major reason to buy is the complete, vehicle-specific replacement nature of the kit that includes both driver and passenger calipers with hardware and mounting brackets, which removes uncertainty during installation and reduces time in the garage.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: The calipers are designed as an OE replacement so they mount without modification on compatible vehicles, saving time and effort during installation.
• Complete 2-piece kit: The set includes both rear driver and passenger calipers plus hardware and mounting brackets, providing a full rear-end solution in one purchase.
• Vehicle specific compatibility: Fitment covers a range of Ford Explorer, Police Interceptor, Taurus SHO and Lincoln models, so buyers can check the listing and match the kit to their exact vehicle.
• Aftermarket reference numbers: The calipers carry cross-reference numbers 18B5466, 18B5467 and FRC12564, which helps confirm correct replacement parts.
• OE replacement quality: The design and construction are intended to meet original equipment standards for form, fit and function on listed models.
• Hardware included: Mounting brackets and hardware are supplied with each caliper, reducing the need to source extra parts before installation.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at owners of 2013-2018 Ford Explorer variants, 2014-2018 Special Service Police Sedan and Police Interceptor Utility, 2013-2016 Lincoln MKS/MKT and 2013-2018 Taurus SHO who want a direct replacement rear caliper set. It suits independent mechanics and competent DIYers who prefer replacing both sides at once for consistency and reliability.

It is not the best choice for someone who needs calipers with integrated pads or for vehicles outside the listed fitment. Buyers unsure of exact model-year compatibility should verify fitment information in the listing or consult a mechanic before ordering.

Pros & Cons

• Direct fit OE replacement design reduces installation hassle and aligns with factory mounting points.
• Clear aftermarket reference numbers help confirm the correct part for replacement.
• Customers report good quality, fit and value for money compared with OEM options.

Cons
