    Hey guys, just curious how many miles you guys had before replacing front pads if any of you have replaced them at all and did any of you replace the rotors also? I have 33k on mine and have never gotten that many miles on front pads on a vehicle before. I have a deal with the dealer for tire rotation and oil changes so I don't check like I should.
    thanks, just curious

    I have 46k on mine, I have not replaced anything yet but I am getting close for the fronts to be replaced. Just the pads, the back will be fine, drums are easy.

    26k no sign of needing replacement at all yet.

    50k on the last taco (2011) and still had 1/2 the padding.

    If you’re not feeling as pulsating while braking (especially at speed), I’d just replace the pads. Easy job. Just get quality pads.

    Gotten 75k out of other toyotas. Probably could have went another 10k. Those spring clips that push the pads off rotors help.

    I had 90k on my drums on my 96 T100 before replacing and about 40k on the front, thanks guys just wanted to get some input since the dealer has never mentioned anything to me. I will check them this weekend.
