Stock brake pads on the 2015-2020 F-150 2.7 EcoBoost 2WD were spec'd for a median driver on a median tire. Swap in EBC's Extra Duty ED+ rear pads and the truck gets a compound engineered to handle real heat, real weight, and the physics that come with large-diameter truck tires.
Higher friction where it counts. Larger rolling-radius tires multiply the mechanical demand on every brake component. A higher-friction pad reduces the pedal pressure and caliper effort needed to achieve the same deceleration, keeping brake feel firm and consistent rather than soft and vague under hard stops.
Aramid-fiber construction, made in the UK. EBC manufactures the ED+ range entirely at their UK factory from aramid fibers and a small amount of steel fiber. That fiber mix raises the compound's heat ceiling, extends pad life, and stays kinder to rotors than conventional semi-metallic formulas. Dust output is minimal, keeping wheels cleaner between washes.
A cost-effective first upgrade before bigger hardware. A premium pad swap is the most economical way to improve brake performance on a heavy truck. Many F-150 owners find a pad upgrade handles their real-world braking demands without the added cost of larger rotors or a full big-brake kit.
Current production pads are red. Earlier ED-grade pads were orange; both compounds are legitimate EBC products. If an orange-grade pad arrives and the preference is the current red formulation, EBC's authorized outlets offer a freight-paid exchange.
Product Benefits
- Extra-Duty Compound: Higher friction rating handles the increased thermal and mechanical load of heavy trucks with large-diameter tires.
- Aramid Fiber Construction: Made from aramid and a small amount of steel fiber for high fade resistance and rotor-friendly contact.
- UK Factory Made: Produced 100% at the EBC Brakes facility in the United Kingdom.
- Reduced Pedal Effort: Higher friction coefficient lowers the caliper pressure needed for confident deceleration.
- Longer Pad Life: Stable high-temperature compound resists fade and wears evenly for extended service intervals.
- Low Dust Output: Minimal dusting keeps wheels cleaner compared to conventional semi-metallic pads.
- Direct Rear Fitment: Engineered specifically for the rear brake position on 2015-2020 F-150 2.7 EcoBoost 2WD applications.
About EBC Brakes: EBC Brakes manufactures friction products at its own factory in the United Kingdom, supplying pads, rotors, and brake kits for passenger cars, trucks, and motorcycles across the global market.
