Hitting your video 24 hours later than normal, LOL. I love those front brakes, amazing. I would bet those suckers would stop my Space White 2021 F150 Regular Cab FX4 (5.0L) ON A DIME! As always, great content and perfect length too.
Yes in my new F150, it has happened many many times where I almost hit someone from behind... I just can't afford the kind of brakes like you are using. And thumbs up, don't want any dings.
I drive a 2016 Lincoln navigator for work. I’m an Uber driver for a living, so sometimes I’m driving with heavy internal loads, and sometimes I’m empty. I’m almost always driving around drunk j-walkers and bikes and electric scooters who’s operator is drunk. It’s almost daily I see a drunk driver. When I first got my navigator in January 2022, I was cut off by a bicycle “pedi-cab” while I was doing 50 mph on a highway access road, and the pedicab was doing less than 15mph. I was fully loaded with six large college football players, plus myself, plus a full luggage compartment in the back. I was easily 4 tons, probably more like 5. I have the best Michelin tires money can buy so traction wasn’t the issue. I was so close to hitting her, I seriously thought I was going to jail that night. I’m looking for a massive break upgrade!!!
Brembo makes some 16.2" for the f150 but they are $$$$ and I believe you need 22" wheels, nobody got time for that. I'm deciding between APB and Wilwood
Hey gents glad to see another video out, Sam did you buy a step ladder yet so you can reach your hood to wash it, gotta ditch them touch less car washes 😃
“Let’s talk about cheaper options you can do…”. $70K+ (don’t know exactly but would like to know total $$$ invested in build) and it’s still just a half-ton…no matter what you “add on” still limited to GCVWR & GVWR why not just buy a 3/4 ton? You aren’t saving any money on gas mileage… it might get 4-5mpg better when empty but that’s out the window when you figure in always using premium gas vs 87 in the 7.3 3/4 ton + the price of bigger brakes,suspension add-ons etc. etc. Just curious as to why spend all that money to make a “better” tow vehicle that still can’t do what a stock 3/4 ton can do? You guys have a great channel enjoy the videos!! Just curious as to the route you took and why. Thanks
I have a F-250 King Ranch, and I am pulling a large 5th wheel trailer @ 18,000 gvwr. , Justifiably towing that kind of load would require a one ton. However, I wanted to stay with my F-250, because it does the job of towing, and provides me with a run around pickup. Does the stock brakes on the F-250 need to be upgraded? Would it be worth the money to upgrade the brakes?
Hey guys great content as usual I have a 21 power boost with some mods and I’m over in Nashville I have family over in the Knoxville area would be awesome to meet up and check the truck out in person sometime if you all go to any events
hey, how do you like the space white color? regret it? oxford white any better? i ordered LX-STX carbonized gray. I didn't go with oxford white because it makes it 'commercial' truck, space white looks good but at the same time it doesn't look good on STX with the space white front grille. i ended up changing to carbonized gray metallic and it just looks boring. I can't afford to go to LXT or lariat lol for better color options! Antimatter Blue Metallic? Atlas Blue Metallic? what is a cool color to mess around with in terms of modifying the looks of the truck. you guys have experience so you should know better! lol i don't like black (scratches and it gets dirty fast) any help? red too flashy lol. iconic silver is a too thin of a color. i'm STUCK!
Hey guys did you have to go through the whole "break in" process when you installed these. If so can you talk about how to do that. Thanks for the advice on convincing the mrs!
Heys guys maybe it’s my OCD but I would be more impressed if it came with a rear brake upgrade as well. I know that would make the price go up and rear brakes don’t do that much work but I think it would look better. What do you think?
Just curious, I have a F-250 King Ranch, and I am pulling a large 5th wheel trailer, with a GVWR of 18,000 lbs. Pulling that trailer with a 6.7L diesel Engion is no problem. However, great braking is necessary. Most truck enthusiast would say that towing a GVWR of 18,000 lbs, justifiably would require a one ton. However, I wanted to stay with my F-250, because it does the job, and provides me with a run around pickup. Does the stock brakes on the F-250 need to be upgraded? Would it be worth the money to upgrade the brakes?
@@BackroadDriver is there an option such as Power Stop that works with a 18 inch wheel? I was leaning toward Power Stop till y’all said it “barely helps ? Other options y’all know of for 18 inch wheels?
Power Stop and Stop Tech are decent upgrades but won’t compare to a big brake kit. When it’s time for brakes definitely replace with Powerstop instead of factory.

Make sure you give this video a thumbs up or we will door ding your truck on purpose. Check out our merch store! www.ShopBackroadDriver.com
That’s a good upgrade. A lot of folks install the gogo juice, but don’t add an extra anchor. That 88 feet distance is impressive.
It’s way more impressive than we expected.

22” wheels are massive on an F150!
Hey gents glad to see another video out, Sam did you buy a step ladder yet so you can reach your hood to wash it, gotta ditch them touch less car washes 😃
Great video, thanks guys!
Sam you’re going to come up with a “safety” reason to upgrade from a stick & tin travel trailer!
🤔 got me thinking now.....
Great video guys!

It does tow but it is more of a race/street truck.

@@alanpetersen4497 I’m pretty sure the 250 & 350 have the same size brakes.
Another great video. Those brakes are sweet
Great… another thing to add to my wish list.
Glad to help!
Had my moment when I rear ended a van on a slick highway…not sure if these would have fit all of well in my 05 Chevy Cobalt 😂
I almost t boned someone that ran a light and I was impressed by my factory f150 brakes, but I can't wait to see how 16" rotors do
We have to keep our eyes peeled for these bad drivers out here!
Technically the trailer brakes should over power the truck brakes. Turn the trailer brake controller up until the load goes from pushing to pulling.
Looks so cool to pull a camper OMG I'm getting old shyt lol but looks cool to pull with my 2021 Xlt
Great video

Space White is awesome! You could have that STX grill painted.
Hey guys did you have to go through the whole "break in" process when you installed these. If so can you talk about how to do that. Thanks for the advice on convincing the mrs!
Yes. Sam just drove normal and they got better and better over the first 500 miles. At around 500 miles they are fully broken in.
Heys guys maybe it’s my OCD but I would be more impressed if it came with a rear brake upgrade as well. I know that would make the price go up and rear brakes don’t do that much work but I think it would look better. What do you think?
They would help the look. Maybe paint the rears?
@@BackroadDriver I guess you could add drilled and slotted rear rotors too
That along with a pad upgrade could do the trick.
@@BackroadDriver just a suggestion but that might make a cheap upgrade video for the Hammer🤷♂️

Bet those would look good behind the gold 24"s on my truck.
Love your truck! What color is that?
Space White. It’s awesome!
How do those brakes work with the factory Antilock system? How much are brake changes,new rotors?
Systems work the same. They just listed rotors separately on their site.
@@BackroadDriver thanks for the info. Keep up the good work.
Man If could find a lariat for what you payed for yours I’d go pick it up today. Im just not paying 70 grand for a decently optioned lariat…
Essentially, you want your trailer to stop your truck.
Like Mustang brakes now;)
Dang right!
Wouldn’t it be cool if campers had a small electric motor;)
Generate power or aid in the load;)
I think Sam is looking at some Lithium batteries…
Power the camper
I am ready to buy a 23 f150 if I'm going to beef up the suspension, shocks and brakes like your truck do I need there " max tow package"?
Is standard brakes on 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks bigger then they are on a standard 1500 pickup
Fx Ford F150 vs F250 ore F350??
what is the largest brake kit you can do with 18 inch factory wheels?
I believe anything larger than the factory brakes would require a wheel bigger than an 18.
@@BackroadDriver is there an option such as Power Stop that works with a 18 inch wheel? I was leaning toward Power Stop till y’all said it “barely helps ? Other options y’all know of for 18 inch wheels?
