You didn't mention a year, but the Fords have an oddball caliper mounting system that I don't care for. They also switched piston material on the calipers and I've had issues with some piston types sticking, causing damage.
A normal brake inspection is looking at pad depth and maybe rotor material.
My suggestion would be to have the calipers removed, cleaned up, pins re-greased and change the brake fluid, as it can absorb water. After all that work, new pads and the associated turning of rotors might as well happen too. At a Ford dealer, this will be around $1000...
If you don't want to go in for all that, have it inspected, but definitely flush the fluid.
Chassis is 1999
Good idea on the fluid flush.
I know it would be a bigger chunk of change, but I have not had good luck with turned Rotors. I have found that the thinned rotors do not dissipate heat as well and if you travel as many mountain passes as we do, heat dissipation is important. One might not think that taking .020 off would make a big difference, but it's enough.
