Affordable break upgrade?

[JustSomeGuy]

Hey guys, i came from an XLT and i feel that the Raptor is a lot heavier when breaking. Obviously it's sufficient in daily use, but what about emergency breaking? I feel a bit insecure about it. Thoughts?

(have the Raptor for only about 2 weeks now)

So you want to break it or make it brake better?

"Brakes" is the proper spelling. Never too late to learn.

Bleed them well to begin with. Then try pushing the pedal harder. I think the stock brakes are great and my other car is a CTS-V with brembos and 14+” rotors.

Stock brakes on gen 2 raptor (or F150s in general) def better than the brakes on the 3 K2 series (14-19) trucks I had

I’ll upgrade to some heavier duty pads/rotors when time comes but so far after 18k miles the stockers have done quite well for a 1/2 ton pickup IMO I’ve had quite a few hard semi-panic type stops from speed in that time & ive noticed no loss in pedal feel or any warpage in the rotors

I feel the raptor doesn’t have touchy brakes and needs heavier pressure to stop. But if you try a full on stop with pressure they do the job just fine, just takes some getting used too.

BRAKE

I did stainless lines, upgraded pads and motul brake fluid and it made a very nice difference in brake pedal feel and noticeable stopping power. Not like a big brake kit obviously but I am very happy with my brakes now!
