    This^^^^. Let's see 99550 on my 09 before it needed brakes. My 2012 had its first set at 90k and it was ready at 175k for its second before a kid totalled it. My 20 now has 70k on it and the ford dealer is trying to get me to do rears[new service adviser] I told him they will go 100k. Judging by what is left. All my trucks do alot of towing and heavy quite a bit. So no IMHO they last way longer than the GM fronts do. Cj

    Must be---as the last 3 GM's I've owned had the abs system-- but I normally sell one and get a new one before 100K miles and have not needed brake pads on any of the three.
    Even though I pull the boat and a light utility trailer I"m easy on the brakes ---Unlike a lot of drivers.
