Stock brake pads on the 2018-2020 F-150 2.7L EcoBoost 2WD were sized for average daily driving, not the thermal demands that come with a heavy truck, larger-diameter tires, or spirited towing. EBC's Extra Duty ED+ compound addresses those demands directly, raising friction levels and heat tolerance without requiring a big brake kit or rotor upgrade.
Higher friction where it counts. The ED+ compound delivers more stopping force per pedal press, which reduces the caliper pressure required during heavy deceleration. Trucks running larger-than-stock tires generate significantly more rotational inertia, and a higher-friction pad compensates for that added load at the rotor without the cost of a full brake system overhaul.
Built for heat, not just everyday stops. ED+ pads are formulated from aramid fibers and a minimal steel fiber content, a combination that raises fade resistance and thermal stability well beyond what standard organic or entry-level semi-metallic pads can handle. The compound stays consistent under repeated hard stops where lesser pads begin to glaze and lose bite.
Manufactured entirely in the UK. Every ED+ pad is produced at the EBC Brakes factory in the United Kingdom, using aramid-based blends that keep rotor wear low and brake dust minimal. The low-dust characteristic keeps wheels cleaner over the service interval and reduces the abrasive contamination that can accelerate rotor surface wear.
A practical first upgrade before a big brake kit. For many F-150 owners, a premium pad swap is all that is needed to restore confidence in the brake system. If the factory rotors are in good condition, swapping to ED+ pads is the most cost-effective path to a meaningful improvement in stopping performance and pedal feel.
