I am at 77k mi. about 40% left on the pads.Hi All,
I see the brakes are a little bigger on the 5th gen half tons compared to my old 2011 1500 anyhow.
How many miles are people getting on the 5th gen’s before having to do a brake gen?
Best wishes
Thanks for your reply.I am at 77k mi. about 40% left on the pads.
No but I don`t baby it at all.Thanks for your reply.
Do you do much towing?
If your trailer braking is properly calibrated (or surge) it doesn't affect the tow vehicle's brakes that much as the trailer is slowing itself. You should expect to get about 100k with most vehicles these days due to ceramic and metallic pads lasting much longer than older fiber pads.Do you do much towing?
A couple of things I tow are lighter and have no trailer brakes. My 11 ram got about 60000 before the first brake job. The rotors pitted terribly in on that truck. I am hoping for 100000 on my 22.If your trailer braking is properly calibrated (or surge) it doesn't affect the tow vehicle's brakes that much as the trailer is slowing itself.

Amazing!Y'all won't believe this but I changed out my front pads at 170k and they still looked good! I drive her pretty easy but that's unbelievable!
