Consumer Description

I HAVE A 99 FORD RANGER XLT EXTENDED CAB PICKUP TRUCK. IT HAS A 4.0L ENGINE WITH AC. I JUST WENT OVER 58,000 MILES AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES ON MY TRUCK 3 TIMES ALREADY. A COMMENT MADE BY MORE THAN ONE BRAKE TECHNICIAN WAS THAT THE BRAKES ON THIS TRUCK SEAM VERY UNDER CAPACITY FOR THIS SIZE VEHICLE. THEY ARE LIKE THOSE ON A SMALL COMPACT CAR. I AM A VERY CONSERVATIVE DRIVER. I DON'T RUN UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND SLAM ON THE BRAKES. WHEN I SEE A LIGHT THAT IS RED AHEAD OF ME I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND LET THE ENGINE SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN. I APPLY THE BRAKES ONLY WHEN I HAVE TO COME TO A FULL STOP. I HAD A PREVIOUS RANGER THAT THE 1ST TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE BREAKS AT 70,000 MILES. I DON'T THINK BRAKES SHOULD BE WEARING OUT SO FAST. *JB
