Product Information

Product Details
Part No. FLD1680
Warranty Details (Limited Lifetime Warranty)
Carquest Frontline brake pads provide maximum braking performance on towing, heavy hauling and frequent braking applications. These brake pads are engineered by an Original Equipment Manufacturer (O.E.M.) that meets IATF 16949 certified framework, an internationally recognized proof of quality in the automotive industry. Carquest Frontline brake pads utilize a patented 4-layer HEX shim, now upgraded with aramid fibers, to provide quiet braking and reduce shim wear. These brake pads are also supplied with coated brake hardware and caliper pin grease for nearly every application. Carquest Frontline brake pads are the ideal choice for severe duty applications that need strong stopping power.

Product Features:
  • Severe duty friction formulations dissipate heat faster for extended pad life
  • On-vehicle testing similar to original equipment tests
  • Patented 4-Layer HEX Shim Technology provides quiet braking
  • HEX shim design utilizes aramid fibers, the same fibers used in bulletproof vests, to reduce shim wear
  • PTFE coated hardware and caliper pin grease included for nearly every application
  • Powder-coated backing plate prevents corrosion

They stop great but are very dirty
Put a set of these on my 2015 F250 SD 4x4 in 4/22. They stop well as I also pull a 5th Wheel camper. No noise issues. Seem to be wearing well after about 5,000 miles. Only complaint ut they make my wheels filthy within a few miles of cleaning. If you dont mind dirty wheels, they are a good product.
Most Liked Negative Review
Same issues as the 1 star reviews
Purchased in December of 2020. Suddenly started squeaking in beginning of March 2023. Grinding started beginning of April 2023. As with other bad reviews, my drivers side, front inner is the bad pad. It still has the bottom part of the pad, only the top wore through to the backing material. The spring metal plate had fallen completely off. Roter scored. Passenger side still looks good. Might not be a brake pad issue, but rather a FoMoCo caliper issue. I will give the pads another go if Advance Auto honors the lifetime warranty replacement.

Never again!
I purchased these pads in March of 2021 and correctly installed them on my 2015 F250. In nine months of easy driving to work and towing my camper twice these pads are shot. Not only did the inner pad on the driver's side go out completely and grind the rotor but the other pads are down to less than an 1/8 inch and burned the rotors. Would give negative stars if I could.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
Good heavy duty brake pads. Ford F-250
Verified Buyer -
I have these brakes on another truck of mine. I just put a new set on the front of one of my other trucks. They do a really good job stopping and they hold up very well. I do a lot of Towing through the mountains and I feel really comfortable with these brakes.

Best replacement pad I have ever used
I have 1 Ford F 250 truck that is used for towing only and averages around 40,000 miles. And a total of 3 Ford F250s diesel trucks and these are these are the only replacement pads I will use.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
