Replaced the front brake pads and rotors on my Ford F150 2018 XLT model. The pads are free after only removing 2 screws to get off the caliper. Then there are 2 more screws to release the bracket so you can access the rotor. The bracket screws are usually a little tough to get off since they will have some rust. The rotor is almost always tough to remove since it gets rusted to the shoulder. Be careful to have strong enough jack and jack stands for a truck. Also be aware of rear wheel drive to avoid rolling. Not a mechanic but I can do a few simple things with my truck.
