Ford Expedition Brake Kits
The Expedition Carries More Than People
The Ford Expedition is Ford's flagship full-size SUV — capable of seating up to 8 passengers, towing up to 9,300 lbs, and carrying the kind of combined weight that puts serious stress on a brake system day after day. Whether it's a family with gear, a boat, or a loaded trailer, the Expedition's job description includes sustained braking loads that OEM rotors weren't engineered to handle consistently.
Ghost Rotors drilled and slotted rotors and carbon ceramic pads are built specifically for this use case: heavy vehicles, real towing loads, and repeated braking under weight. The result is a brake system that performs consistently where OEM hardware starts to fade.
Towing 9,300 lbs Starts With the Right Brakes
The Expedition's max tow rating of 9,300 lbs (9,600 lbs for the Expedition Max) means you could be pulling a large boat, a full-size travel trailer, or a loaded cargo trailer — all while managing 11,000–12,000 lbs of combined vehicle-plus-trailer weight on downhill grades and in stop-and-go traffic.
This is where OEM brake systems show their limitations. Sustained thermal loading causes single-piece OEM rotors to develop heat spots, which create uneven pad contact, pedal pulsation, and reduced stopping confidence over time. Ghost Rotors diamond-slotted design evacuates heat continuously from the pad face — keeping temperatures within the operating window of the carbon ceramic pads and maintaining consistent friction through prolonged braking events.
Ghost Rotors G11H18 high-carbon iron rotors exceed G3000 zinc-coated OEM castings — they resist the heat-spot buildup that causes OEM rotors to develop thickness variations and the steering wheel shudder most Expedition owners experience after a few seasons of towing.
Expedition Max — Extra Length, Extra Load, Same Upgrade
The Expedition Max adds length, third-row legroom, and cargo space — and carries even more combined weight. Ghost Rotors kits are available for both standard Expedition and Expedition Max configurations, matched to rotor diameter and caliper specifications for each body style and drivetrain.
Available for 2018+ Ford Expedition and Expedition Max with the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 — Ford's twin-turbo powerplant that generates 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. The torque output alone creates braking demands that reward a premium rotor-and-pad combination over the factory spec.
All-Weather GEOMET® Coating for Year-Round Reliability
Expedition owners drive in every condition — snowy winters, wet springs, and the kind of all-weather year-round use that causes OEM rotors to develop surface rust within days of sitting in a driveway. Ghost Rotors GEOMET® coating protects every non-friction surface of each rotor against oxidation, salt, and moisture — keeping rotors clean, functional, and visually clean through every season.
Unlike the thin zinc spray used on many aftermarket rotors that flakes off within a year, GEOMET is a bonded zinc-alloy process used by European premium automakers. It's the right spec for a vehicle that earns its miles in real-world conditions.
Lifetime Warranty, Bolt-On Installation
Every Ghost Rotors Expedition kit is backed by a lifetime warranty — covering manufacturing defects, premature wear, and structural failures. For a vehicle that works as hard as the Expedition, that warranty isn't a marketing promise — it's the only kind of coverage that makes sense for owners who actually use their vehicles.
Installation is a direct bolt-on replacement requiring no modification to existing brake hardware, no special tools beyond a standard socket set, and no dealer involvement. Break-in procedure takes approximately 20 minutes on any road. After bedding, the carbon ceramic pads deliver full friction performance from cold to operating temperature — a consistency advantage over OEM semi-metallic pads that require warm-up to reach peak bite.
