Ford Maverick Brake Specifications
The Ford Maverick is a compact truck available with hybrid and EcoBoost powertrains, and brake life varies significantly between the two. The hybrid's regenerative braking system handles a substantial portion of deceleration, dramatically extending the life of friction brake pads. EcoBoost models with AWD get ventilated rear discs for better heat management.
| Position | Brake Type | Rotor Size | Pad Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front | Ventilated Disc | 12.0" | Semi-Metallic or Ceramic |
| Rear | Solid Disc (FWD) / Ventilated Disc (AWD) | 11.0" / 11.8" | Semi-Metallic or Ceramic |
Brake Component Details
Front Brakes
Type: Ventilated Disc
Rotor Size: 12.0"
Pad Type: Semi-Metallic or Ceramic
Compact truck brakes sized for the Maverick's lighter weight. Hybrid models benefit from regenerative braking, reducing friction brake wear.
Rear Brakes
Type: Solid Disc (FWD) / Ventilated Disc (AWD)
Rotor Size: 11.0" / 11.8"
Pad Type: Semi-Metallic or Ceramic
FWD Mavericks use solid rear discs while AWD models get ventilated rears. FWD models wear front brakes faster since the front handles most braking force.
Brake Tips for Your Maverick
- Maverick Hybrid owners may see brake pads last 50,000-70,000 miles thanks to regenerative braking doing much of the work
- FWD Mavericks wear front pads faster than rears — have front pads checked at every tire rotation
- The Maverick's compact size and lighter weight make brake service one of the most affordable in the Ford truck lineup
- Tremor models with the wider 245mm tires generate slightly more braking grip, which can improve stopping distances
- Ceramic pads are an excellent upgrade for daily-driven Mavericks — less dust and quieter stops
