Stock brake pads on the 2013-2019 Explorer 3.5L EcoBoost 4WD prioritize quiet, low-dust daily driving over the kind of repeated heavy braking that highway merges, towing, and loaded SUV stops demand. EBC's Greenstuff DP61886 front pads close that gap, delivering a brake effect improvement of 10 percent or more over stock with a compound built specifically for light trucks and SUVs.
Immediate, confident braking from the first press. A red break-in surface coating on each pad provides safe, effective braking the moment installation is complete, eliminating the bedding frustration that comes with some aftermarket compounds. No lengthy bed-in procedure, no nervous first few stops.
Heavy brake use without fade. The 6000 Elite Series compound resists brake fall-off during repeated heavy applications, making it well-suited for highway driving, mountain descents, and loaded towing situations where stock pads can overheat and lose bite. The compound also tolerates off-road conditions, handling dust and sand without significant degradation in stopping power.
Cleaner wheels, longer rotor life. The Greenstuff compound produces a medium dusting factor, meaning less brake dust on the Explorer's wheels compared to stock. Equally important, the rotor wear characteristic is extremely low, so the OEM or replacement rotors underneath last longer between services.
Pad debond is eliminated by design. EBC uses Nucap NRS mechanical hooks on the back plates, bonding the friction material to the steel carrier through a mechanical interlock rather than adhesive alone. That eliminates the failure mode where the friction block separates from the backing plate under heat and load.
