First post....
I've got a 2011 4x4 Auto with about 60,000 km (36,000 miles) on it. 90% highway miles, about 1% dirt/muddy roads, no off road at all.
I started to feel that the brakes were not quite right about a week or two ago and yesterday heard the dreaded metal on metal sound when pressing the brake pedal. (I have discs on all 4 corners.) I pulled the right rear brakes off and sure enough the inner pad was completely gone, the outer had about 50% wear left on it. The rotor was toast. I pulled the left rear off and the inner pad was as good as gone but the outer had about 50% wear left as well, the rotor was fine. Checked the fronts and all pads on the front showed about 50% wear left.
Just wondering if this is normal for these trucks. Any other vehicle I've ever owned went through fronts far more often than rears. I'm not sure if muddy roads could cause problems or what's up. Any help or ideas would be appreciated
Thanks for the replies.
