The 2013 Ford Explorer doesn't have heavy duty brakes. Your brakes need to be in the beSTShape. Having faulty brakes will lead into difficulties. Screeching sounds can come about from low brake fluid. A loose bearing can make for terrible stops. The brakes can lock up, which will result in car crashes. Premature brake wear is a problem that needs to be addressed. Bad brake pads will result in problems with the vehicle stopping. Brake equipment will become old and will need to be replaced at some point. The brake pads and shoes need replacing every 50,000 miles. The brake rotors need to be changed every 60,000 miles. The brake fluid needs to be changed every 20,000 to 45,000 miles.

It depends on date of manufacture. At some point during the year, Ford started using HD brakes in all XLT Explorers.

My 13 xlt most definitely came with heavy duty brakes. Standard duty are 12.8 front heavy duty are 13.9 inch front. Backs on HD are 13.6 inch. Buy your replacement parts wisely.
