Overview
Fire Red is the finish on the Baer Brakes 4261409FR Extreme Plus front brake system, which covers the 2010-2026 Ford F-150 with Raptor models included. A one-piece monoblock six-piston caliper grips a 15 inch two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor, making this a complete front-axle package.
Owners who want front stopping hardware larger than stock, and who prefer to keep the factory hoses, are the intended buyers, since the kit re-uses OE hoses. Each caliper is CNC machined from 2618 aluminum forging, powder coated for finish, and manufactured in Phoenix, Az. The rotors suit wheels of 19 inch or larger.
Key features
- Fire Red powder coated monoblock caliper with six pistons, model 6S
- Forged 2618 aluminum body, US sourced and CNC machined
- Stainless pistons, abutments and noise-suppression clips
- Staggered piston layout that works to limit uneven pad wear
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals
- Slotted, drilled and zinc-plated two-piece rotor on a billet aluminum hat
- NAS high grade stainless hardware supplied with the rotors, pre-assembled
Off-road and daily driving
Trucks used off pavement pick up mud, sand and water that can build up between the rotor and caliper, so the dust seals and stainless hardware do more work than on a street-only vehicle. Rinse the wheels and caliper area after deep water crossings and look for grit trapped near the pad edges. Slotted and drilled rotors help shed debris and gas, but they still need periodic inspection for cracks.
Daily driving shows different wear. Frequent stop-and-go traffic loads the pads more gradually, so check pad thickness at each tire rotation and replace them before they reach the wear indicator. Keep the mounting bolts torqued to specification after the first few drives, and recheck clearance after any suspension lift or tire size change, since a new tire can shift the wheel’s position against the caliper.

Vehicle fitment
Baer’s manufacturer list covers the 2010-2026 Ford F-150 on 2WD and 4WD trucks, Raptor included. The applications entry reads Ford F150 10-26, and the kit is for the front axle only.
Ford F-150 model years outside 2010-2026, Super Duty trucks and other Ford models are not on the list. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Pre-assembled rotors and complete brackets reduce the number of separate parts needed for the front axle. Baer does not promise clearance with every aftermarket wheel, so test the N063U template against the planned wheel, since wheels need at least 19.0 inch diameter. Professional installation is the safer route for brake hardware.
What’s included
Included are the Fire Red 6S caliper, two-piece 15 inch rotors with billet hats, the mounting brackets and the stainless hardware for the front axle.
Not included: Brake pads are not part of the package. Match pads to D1247.
