    I have an '09 Taco Access 2.7 approaching 40k miles. I know that there are lots of variables but I am curious how long others got from their first set of brake pads.

    Also, being a senior I hate working on stuff myself anymore. What should I expect to get stuck by the Toyota dealer for front brakes?

    At under 40k doing less than 6k per year at age 65 sounds like I will start squeaking before my fronts pads do. :oops:

    Yeah, my V6 4x4 made it to around 95k before the brake change. Just get the fluid flushed, you should be good for awhile.

    does turning tires to black wall out count? How bout added snug top rebel.
    Exactly 60,000 miles, probably couldn't have gone a thousand more miles.

    08 DCLB 4x4 with 82k. Started hearing the sensor about 1000 miles ago. Haven't had the time to inspect yet. I do tow heavy loads quite a bit mostly short distances so surprised they lasted this long.

    My '94 T100 (auto trans) had 130k miles when I sold it. The brake pads were still in great shape-probably less than half worn. Most of the miles were mountain highway and back country driving.

    Depends on how much gear and any modifications (if any) done to the truck. Something loaded with armor, shell, lift kit, bigger tires and all that will get less in the range of 40-50K miles while a bone stock Taco can go anywhere up to 90K+ miles. This is assuming that you don't drive the Taco like you stole it. ;)

    Around 60K, i'd say the pads have about 60% life left.

    One less thing to have to deal with. :thumbsup:

    I replaced a toilet in my house last week. No fun. And they seem to be twice as heavy as the last one I changed 20 years ago. Did I mention that I hate working on stuff anymore?

    Wakey Wakey! Just replaced the OEM tires at 45k. Weren't done but I don't want to go through the winter with them. My front pad are worn done 90%. Going to replace them in a couple of weeks. Didn't get nearly what some folks are getting. And I'm an old geezer too and drive like one. A little disapointed the pads didn't last longer.
