How do I properly maintain the brakes on a Ford Ranger?

I have noticed that my Ford Ranger's brakes seem to be wearing down quicker than usual. How can I properly maintain them to ensure they last longer and stay in good condition?

Regularly check and replace brake pads when necessary. Also make sure to use the correct brake fluid for your specific model of Ford Ranger.

In addition to replacing brake pads, make sure to also check and replace brake rotors if needed. These are often overlooked but are just as important for proper brake maintenance.
