Are these brake torques correct?

Looking on the internet, I’m see these for torque values for a brake job on my 2015 F250 4x4, why are they so different?

Front
caliper bolts - 63
bracket bolts - 160
Rear
caliper bolts - 27
bracket bolts - 125

Do I have these correct?
thanks

Some, yes. Others, no.

With or without electronic parking brake?

That looks correct. You want the bracket bolts tight and the caliper bolts looser because they are on the slide pins. Also, if I recall the bolts for the rear brackets are smaller so their torque values will be less.

Here are the corrected values from the factory service manual for the '15 F150. Some originally found are close but others, not so much.

Front
caliper bolts - 63 27 lb.ft
bracket bolts - 160 184 lb.ft
Rear
caliper bolts - 27 24 lb.ft
bracket bolts - 125 111.lb.ft

I've appended the procedures from the FSM for full information.
