Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901070 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, a material known for its durability and effective heat dissipation during braking. This rotor features a vented design, which helps to maintain optimal operating temperatures by allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces. The drum-in-hat construction integrates a parking brake drum within the rotor, making it suitable for vehicles equipped with drum parking brakes. With an outside diameter of 11.62 inches and a nominal thickness of 0.75 inches, this rotor meets the specifications required for proper fitment and performance on Ford Ranger, B2300, and B4000 trucks. The rotor includes five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5 inch bolt circle diameter, ensuring secure attachment to the wheel hub. The non-directional brake surface allows for installation on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford Ranger (various model years)
• Ford B2300
• Ford B4000
