Did the wife's with the PowerStop 1 click slotted kit. $275 for everything was a few bucks cheaper than name brand (non-china) rotors and Wagner pads. Love em. No pulse, no squeal, stops even with the trailer on there with no problems.
Go with 1AAuto who is a vendor on here...i have their slotted/drilled set for $200... ceramic pads... great stopping power... love them

Talked to my old titan buddy today, he used to run 37s but got 35s now. Said he power stop sucked and kept warping. He ordered some ebc, the guys at AutoZone recommend it over power stop.
Hoping my brakes last long enough to order some ebc to test out too. Probably slotted since I have 20s already, open enough to see um.

I would love to be able to put larger diameter rotors on and matching caliper's and Rotors but have never looked into it. I figure with the 20" wheels we should have bigger brakes. Just a thought.
22s come stock without bigger setup

I don't understand why Ford doesn't put larger brakes on our trucks. Probably a cost thing.

I ordered and purchased a new 2015 Expediton Limited 4x4 with the standard 20" wheels. I have never towed with it or hauled cargo - strictly passenger use. This was my first Ford in 40 + years of driving.
I drive primarily on rural roads with few stops (vs stop-n-go traffic), and do not make sudden stops. Now at 27,*** miles, I have a severe shudder from the front brakes when gently slowing from about 40 mph.
I'll talk with the Ford service advisor at my next oil change service but I am very frustrated with the brake shudder. I drive all my vehicles carefully and suspect Ford has undersized rotors for this vehicle.

That almost sounds like a loose caliper bolt. I could be wrong, but it doesn't sound as if you ever overheated your brakes enough to warp a rotor. What happens when you apply moderate pressure and if you apply hard pressure?

The shudder goes away. It always appears at about 40 - 45 mph, when I lift the gas pedal and gently apply the brakes (such as when on a county / state highway and the traffic signal turns red much further ahead).
I have replaced brakes and rotors and drums for decades on my other vehicles - but now face physical limitation and can't do brake work.
I have always had the vehicle serviced at the selling Ford dealership and I will talk with them when I take it in for service in the next few weeks. A loose caliper bolt makes sense.
