V B., UT (2005 Ford Ranger None 4.0-L V6)"Just wear USge"

Anonymous, OR (2005 Ford Ranger None 4.0-L V6)"The brake pads wear out because the rotors don't wear right"
Ken T., MO (2005 Ford Ranger None 3.0-L V6)"I had the 2005 Ford Ranger 2005 XLT for ten years. I drove through mountains and plains. In the tenth year the Ford mechanics suggested that the brake linings be replaced due to normal wear"
Anonymous, WA (2005 Ford Ranger None 4.0-L V6)"Needed new brake pads"
Anonymous, VA (2005 Ford Ranger None 4.0-L V6)"Had $500 brake job done at 60k and $700 brake job done at 87k (20k--too soon). Mech said this happens. My intuition says it doesn't"
Anonymous, MN (2005 Ford Ranger None 3.0-L V6)"Both front brakes needed pads because it kept sticking when the weather was damp. Both rear drum brakes were falling apart. I also had the emergency brake cables replaced. I had the work done last week. Total $1039. The mechanic said the brake pads were organic pads. It also made my front wheels full of brake dust."
Anonymous, WI (2005 Ford Ranger None 3.0-L V6)"The front brakes did not wear as expected, only on one side. I suspect poor instillation from prior repair."
Anonymous, CT (2005 Ford Ranger None 4.0-L V6)"Twice now the rear breaks have rusted to the point where they jam. Noticed first when backing up. Rear brakes had to be replaced."
