NRS Brakes has added brake kits for the 2021-2023 Ford F-150 pickup, including the first F-150 Lightning electric pickup truck. The brake kits, which cover both front and rear application for the almost 1.6 million vehicles covered, include the company’s premium galvanized brake pads as well as abutment hardware and caliper piston cushions.

“The galvanized steel at the heart of all NRS Brakes pads helps provide longer life which is an advantage for all applications, especially electric vehicles like the Lightning which rely less on hydraulic braking than internal-combustion-engine vehicles,” said Montu Khokar, chief executive officer, NRS Brakes. “As EV vehicle brakes are used less, corrosion builds up; this is not an issue with NRS Brakes which do not corrode.”

Canadian-made premium galvanized brake pads by NRS Brakes have a technology that can be seen. Galvanized steel incorporates patented NRS friction-attachment technology. The result is quieter, safer and longer-lasting brake pads, the company says. The galvanized steel backing plates outlast the friction. According to the company, these pads will not fail as a result of corrosion or friction material delamination from the backing plate, giving the owner/operator a license to feel safe.
