Overview
The Baer Brakes D1790 is a set of 4 rear brake pads for the 2015–2020 Ford F-150, the 2018–2021 Ford Expedition and the 2018–2022 Lincoln Navigator, all equipped with an electric parking brake. Baer Brakes markets it as a Claw pad, and the FMSI number is also D1790.
Claw pads are presented by Baer as OE replacement friction pads built around a ceramic compound. The brand aims them at daily drivers who want stops with minimal noise and dust and a good balance between performance and everyday road manners. This set covers the rear axle only, so it suits owners replacing worn rear pads on an electric parking brake equipped truck or SUV rather than trucks with a manual parking brake.
Key features
- OE replacement rear pads that Baer says deliver consistent wear and performance with minimal noise and dust
- Ceramic friction material for long pad life and low rotor wear.
- Slotted pads with pad shims and a mechanical pad wear sensor included
- Abutment clips included, plus a wear indicator attached to each pad
- Premium grade pad set aimed at daily drivers who want road-going civility
Electric parking brake service
Rear pads on an electric parking brake vehicle are changed with the caliper handled differently than on a manual setup. The parking brake is applied electrically, so the work should be planned around the vehicle’s own service sequence for the rear calipers.
Before removing the old pads, inspect the rotor surface for scoring, heat marks and a lip at the outer edge. A rotor that is badly worn may need machining or replacement, and new pads will not seat properly against an uneven surface. Clean the caliper bracket and check that the slide pins move freely before the new set goes in.
Pads on these trucks and SUVs often wear unevenly when the caliper slides are seized, so checking them during a pad change is worthwhile.
- Check rotor thickness and surface before installing new pads
- Clean the caliper bracket and mounting surfaces
- Confirm the parking brake is released before reassembly

Vehicle fitment
It fits the 2015–2020 Ford F-150 (RWD and 4WD) with an electric parking brake, the 2018–2021 Ford Expedition with an electric parking brake, and the 2018–2022 Lincoln Navigator with an electric parking brake.

Installation notes
Mounting hardware and brake lubricant are not included with this set, so have fresh hardware and lubricant ready before the pads go on. Pad shims are included and should sit correctly against the backing plate during assembly. Because the parking brake on these vehicles is electric, follow the vehicle’s service procedure for the rear calipers and keep the parking brake disengaged until the job is finished. Work on one rear axle at a time with the vehicle safely supported.
What’s included
One set of 4 rear brake pads with pad shims, abutment clips, a mechanical pad wear sensor and an attached wear indicator.
Not included: mounting hardware and brake lubricant.
