I have them on my 2004 Excursion 4X4. I like them and would recommend them. Stops great and very little dust. I have the Hawk LTS Super Duty Pads. I got them from Auto Anything.Com. Good Pricing and no shipping. I also have the slotted cryo rotors.

In 2005 I driove my brand new truck home and removed all the wheels and changed the stock pads over to Hawk. Awesome pads......virtually no dust, great stopping power (even when I tow a car trailer loaded). Make sure you coat the backings with caliper grease or they may squeek.

Wanna buy a set of stock pads with 100 miles on them? They're super black dusty!

Here is an update 4 years later.....I love these pads. I bought them for the front and rear. Very little dust and great stopping power. I've got about 40k on the pads and they still have plenty of life. When it's time I will be buying another set of these hawk pads

I've used Hawks for basically every brake job I've done. They're great for a nice medium between daily driveability and an increase in stopping power. They also can get really hot before fading
