Rear brake wearing

I have a ‘23 SR5 TRD Sport crew max (none hybrid). I’m at 51k on mileage, was just told that my rear brakes are at 3mm and the front are at 9mm. I have only towed three times just to move furniture and the trailer is a 12’ trailer. I only towed our furniture. Has anyone else had this experience on their gen 3 or heard of it happening. I know I’m not the only that has the bad brakes squeal issue.

 

Do you use your adaptive cruise control a lot? The rears do seem to be wearing faster than the fronts in these trucks.

 

No I actually don’t. For the amount of driving I do, I should.
si you’ve heard similar complaints? The service writer was confused and shocked at the difference.

 

From another thread:

"It's likely due to the auto LSD (electronic limited slip) if equipped combined with driving style. Most vehicles these days have some sort of eLSD for stability control that applies the brakes as needed per corner. German manufacturers have been doing this for many years. If you have an aggressive or spirited driving style, the rear brakes are being used often for stability control and reducing wheel slip."
FYI, its same operation on F150's, for every set of front pads, i replace rear twice.

 

It's by design that the rear brakes are engaged first thus causing them to wear faster than the front. When this is done the vehicle comes to a more controlled level stop now stomp on the pedal and the fronts will cause a nose dive.
Obviously the front do the big job and the rears are 1/2 the size but normal braking the rears are doing more than any of us realized.

Traction control too.....

 

Most SUVs seem to be this way

 

I just had my truck inspected last month. Was told rear brakes are yellow. Getting low. I'm at 30k miles. No measurement given, so I'll take a look at my next Oil change and tire rotation myself.
Not surprise though since I work mostly on newer vehicles, rental cars. They get beat to shit. I've seen many new cars brakes wear down around 35k. You getting 51k and just now needing to be replace brakes is very good in my book.
