I just purchased a 2024 Ford Expedition Limited. I find the brake pedal is easy to depress at low speeds, but at higher speeds it takes a lot of leg strength to get the vehicle to a complete stop. I have weakness in lower legs. Any way to make the brakes more sensitive?

That year has brake by wire. I bet Ford doesn’t have any way to change the feel but just in case maybe ask the dealer since some newer cars with that system do adjust to feel to be more sensitive in modes like Sport. Another option is to replace the pads with a more grippier type or see if it’s better in Sport mode. I hated the feel with the OE pads in my 2018 and felt they were very unresponsive and went with Hawk HPS which are much better.

I've used Hawk LT pads in two minivans and now my Expedition. They've always worked well for me. I think they're branded LTS now, but could've sworn they were previously just LT?
