I don't think you fully understand what great lengths Ford went to in order to save pennies on just about every single component on this. Telling a bean counter "it's only two dollars more for a superior brake pad" would only get you laughed at. Their job is to save whatever they can on every component possible while still maintaining a minimum performance and reliability standard for the vehicle. Also, you fail to recognize that the shit metallic pads also come at a similar discount due to buying power so there's still production savings. Savings on all the components combined add up to more profit. Comparing to some import companies is useless. It's a Ford. Is this your first Ford? Welcome to corporate America. I live here.imports that are cheaper have ceramic pads, so you cant really say because of the price. they are $5 more at a parts store. and with fords buying power they would probably be the same price as cheap metallic pads.
