Ford Bronco Sport Brake Specifications
The Ford Bronco Sport is a compact SUV with genuine off-road capability in Badlands trim, but its lighter weight means brakes generally last longer than larger Ford trucks and SUVs. Brake pad and rotor replacement is straightforward and affordable compared to full-size vehicles.
| Position | Brake Type | Rotor Size | Pad Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front | Ventilated Disc | 12.2" | Semi-Metallic or Ceramic |
| Rear | Solid Disc | 11.0" | Semi-Metallic or Ceramic |
Brake Component Details
Front Brakes
Type: Ventilated Disc
Rotor Size: 12.2"
Pad Type: Semi-Metallic or Ceramic
Standard ventilated disc brakes sized appropriately for the compact SUV platform. Adequate for both highway and light off-road use.
Rear Brakes
Type: Solid Disc
Rotor Size: 11.0"
Pad Type: Semi-Metallic or Ceramic
Rear solid disc brakes are standard. Lighter vehicle weight means less thermal stress on rear brakes compared to full-size SUVs.
Brake Tips for Your Bronco Sport
- The Bronco Sport's lighter weight means brakes typically last longer than full-size trucks and SUVs
- Badlands owners who use off-road modes frequently may see slightly faster brake wear from trail descents
- Ceramic pads are a great choice for daily-driven Bronco Sports — quieter and less brake dust on the wheels
- Rear solid disc brakes are less expensive to service than ventilated discs
- AWD models distribute braking force more evenly, which can extend overall brake life
