    I have 63k miles on my 2017 Tacoma and I’m still on the original brakes. At 60k my dealership said my brakes were still at 40%. I can’t believe the brakes are lasting this long.

    How long have you guys got out of your original brakes?

    If you drive like a normal human being brakes can last for a long time, especially the rear drums. 100k is completely normal for front brakes.

    I bought my previous truck used and replaced the fronts at about a 100k and rears at about 140k.

    My Tacoma was my first new vehicle, but I never got that many miles for the brakes on my other vehicles. I know the drums help a lot with the longevity.

    Had my 2016 OR’s oil changed yesterday at 54,500 and the tech estimated about 70% remaining on the front pads.

    I'm at 90 on my '17 DCLB. Nary an issue but plan to take a peek at them in the next few weeks to get an idea of life left.

    On my '06, I changed the front pads at 206,000 and the rear shoes at 211,000.

    Neither set was worn out, but the rears were getting close.

    130K metric, 80,000 miles, my trucks a billy goat and spends most of its off-road mileage going up and down step hills, I use 4 low for descents to save on brakes, besides that I drive like an ass so I’m usually hard on brakes anyways. Only did the fronts, rears have another oil change or 3 left in them. My local dealer said I’m actually quite a bit above the norm for around here, most people get 60,000km’s if they’re lucky because they don’t service their brakes and our road salt / liquid de icer they use now reeks havoc on the system.

    That looks like plenty of meat left on those pads and rotors in my opinion.

    I think I could have gotten close to 100K out of my factory brake pads, but my braking performance was starting to degrade, so I just went ahead and replaced them. I typically replace brake pads at 75k-80k no matter the condition the pads are in.

    I have a 2010 purchased new in September 2009; Got like 32K out of my first set of pads and replaced my original rear shoes in June 2018 at a little over 84K. My rear brakes still had some life on them, but they were getting near the end of their life.

    93k. Rotors were warped but pads were fine, replaced both though. Rears are still untouched at 117k.
