How often do you replace your brakes?

How often do you guys replace your brakes assuming you guys drive your truck everyday?

 

Wow really that long and you tow too. That's amazing I didn't know Toyota brakes can last that long.

 

on my 2nd set of brakes at 60K....

 

I made it to 112k with my first set of brakes. I started having the shakes around 80k should of done it then probably. But I started losing braking power around 110k. Stealership charged me around 600 for front and rear. I did my trailer brakes last month, but that's irrelevant to this just another set of brakes I had to deal with.

 

Some of you guys have brakes lasting well over 80K miles. I'm assuming you guys are still using the stock rims right? I read that if you install bigger rims let's say 20 inch your brakes wear out faster is that right?

 

My 07 cm limited came stock with 20” wheels new brakes at 94k

 

Really depends on usage, 10k in the city is a lot more taxing than 30k on the highway.

I typically get anywhere from 50-70k out of mine.

 

I guess it’s the way I drive, but I blow through them. Don’t know mileage, but it seems like every year I’m having to do it.

 

I agree. Mine is mostly highway.
My old man always said, drive like you've got no brakes.

 

I have 2900 miles on mine and they are squaking already..lets see what the dealershiphas to say

 

My previous Ford Explorer had 3 sets of brakes 90k. Rubbish

Tundra has far superior brakes

 

Dealership wants to charge me $500+ for front and rear brakes and “resurfacing rotors” next time I go in at 60k. Is all of that necessary already or are they just trying to get me? First I have had to deal with brakes so far.

 

i went 55k on my first set of brakes and just replaced pads again at 105K
Using Hawk LTS pads on stock rotors

 

I just changed my front and rear pads at 35k for the first time. The dealership wanted 600+ just to changed them. So I did it myself. Took about 2 hours but I am meticulas and took my time. Saved 600 for mods.....

 

I really think it depends just as much on how you drive as it does the brakes themselves. I average ~75k for a set of brakes but I don't ride mine like I see a lot of people do. My ex averaged 40-50k for a set. Cheap aftermarket pads and rotors obviously don't last as long either.

 

Ya brakes on wife’s pos Chrysler average once a year grade doesn’t seem to matter much obviously not the cheapest but not much difference between mid or top grade besides $$

 

I changed at 28K...

 

Just had my 70K mile service done and the brakes are still good to go. I'm roughly 90% highway driving, so they don't get a whole lot of use. I'll likely get well over 100K on the original pads.

 

Just finished 100k mile service, dealership told me I need brake service, they are charging 189.00 for the front two wheels, which really need it. Had the Tundra for 5 years before I needed it. I had them checked a couple of times while I get oil changes, but was not needed until now. This dealership service department is a good one, so no jacking up fees for this kind of work. There are other dealerships though, that are not that good and charge a lot more than necessary for the work. Check out their ratings or try a local mom and pop service place others have gone to and trust.

 

Just made an appt to get my fronts replaced tomorrow. 106K+ miles. I have enough pad left to keep going for probably a couple thousand more miles, but I'm doing a 1500 mile road trip with a trailer in a week or so. Better to go ahead and get them taken care of beforehand.

 

I just ordered new pads and rotors for mine. I hope they last a long time.

 

Update to what I said earlier:

When I took the truck in for new brakes this morning, the tech let me know that the '2mm remaining' figure their tire monkey gave me after my last rotation, was wrong. I actually still have a solid 4mm remaining, so I should be able to go another 5-10K miles (truck gets mostly highway, so more likely 10) before needing to get them done. Works for me!

 

My wife can destroy a set of pads and rotors within 20K

 

Every two years I replace everything if they are needed or not.

With rock auto it isn't expensive.

So brakes, rotors and calipers every 30,000 miles

 

My daughter got 99,800 miles on her Toyota Corolla S.when she traded it in. They were the original brake pads.we bought it for her for her college graduation with 13,450 miles on it.She drives like my wife and me so I was very surprised.

 

Find a good hill. Point upward. Tranny to neutral. Roll backwards. Jamb on brakes. Repeat several times. Report back on squeaking.

 

82k and just now needing to consider brakes on the front. Rear are ok.
Dealer says $200 front $200 rear. I will get them both replaced while it’s in.
Any sooner is burning through cash and/or riding your brakes and wasting $$$.
