The Ford Explorer typically uses a combination of disc and drum brakes. The front brakes are generally disc brakes, while the rear brakes are sometimes drum brakes, particularly on older models. Modern Explorers, including the electric versions, may feature disc brakes on all four wheels, or a combination of disc and e-Drum brakes.
