Oem First brake change running 285 75 16

Hello Tacoma world. This is for the Tacomas running 285/75/16 Or similar size. At what mileage did you replace brake pads for the first time???? I have a ‘19 Tacoma at 34k miles today. Still didn’t change pads. Been running 285s since August 2019.

 

Welcome to the forum

Brake pad life has more to do with the type of service and the type of driver than the size of the tire.

A vehicle that has a 100 mile daily highway commute will typically get many more miles on the brakes than a city taxi for example.

My truck has around 55,000 miles and the brakes are still the originals.
Although most of my driving is local, I tow a trailer regularly and live on a 3 mile hill - I'm easy on brakes, they last me a long time.

I'm old...

 

Like the last poster stated… maybe tell us what you do and how much/far you drive?

Towing for instance could have a massive impact.

 

Too many variables, you’re going to get answers that range by tens of thousands of miles.

 

60-70k miles with OEM pads are pretty normal for me from different generation 4Runner's and Tacoma's.

 

I just had the dealer replace my front brake pads only last Saturday. My truck has 112,250 miles on original pads. I have a 2016 Tacoma. This is a mix of both city and hwy miles. I do tow a quad trailer a little as well. I requested the dealer install factory pads since they did so well for me. Cost was 299.99 plus tax. I noticed my truck starting to occasionally squeal when breaking so I took it in. Timing was good.
