Product Description

The EBC Yellowstuff DP43118R is a direct-fit front performance brake pad engineered for the 3.0L Twin Turbo V6 performance brake configurations of the 2020-2022 Ford Explorer ST, Platinum, and King Ranch, as well as all 2020-2022 Lincoln Aviator variants including the Grand Touring PHEV. Both platforms share the same 363mm vented front brake architecture, making this a direct upgrade across the full Ford-Lincoln luxury SUV lineup equipped with the larger performance brake system. These pads deliver significantly stronger stopping force than OEM units right from a cold pedal press - critical for 5,000+ lb SUVs under hard braking, towing, or frequent performance driving.

Installation is a direct replacement with no modifications required. Each pad ships pre-coated with EBC's red Brake-In surface treatment to accelerate the initial bedding period. The center-line slot vents heat and gas to prevent thermal cracking under repeated hard stops, while the noise-reduction shims keep braking smooth and quiet in all conditions. Always verify your Explorer's brake caliper type - this application fits the standard-finish calipers; red-painted performance caliper variants use a separate pad application.
