    I'm hoping to trade the Ford before I even need to put brakes on it. :rofl: Should be at around 75k once I replace it.

    Oddly, last time I rotated tires it looked like the rear brakes were wearing quicker than the fronts.

    Do you tow a lot? The trailer sway system that Ford has uses the rear brakes to keep the trailer in line and can chew up the brakes. The rears, if I recall, are also a lot smaller than the fronts so that, coupled with towing, can make you go through rear pads relatively quickly.

    Not much at all. I have somewhere around 250 towing miles on it out of my 47000 or so.

    I read traction control could do it too, which would make sense. Sometimes I try to avoid using 4WD when I probably should so traction control is working hard in the back.

    I'd put em up for $900 and see where the offers come in. They're rarer than the Sport / Off-Road wheels which seem to be moving fairly often. You'll get more on CL / FB Marketplace than you will on the forums, for sure though.
    Congrats! Welcome to Thunderdome! We have coffee and donuts on Tuesdays.

    My wife and I were just talking this week wondering if you guys had the baby yet or not. Such a cool feeling having a baby (especially your 1st born).

    Congratulations to you and your wife James! Cherish all that you can. He's a handsome little dude!
