Question for my fellow 2007 t4r owners and apologies if this has been covered (I did a search and didn’t uncover anything). What has your brake wear been like? I have a 2007 Sport V8 with around 61,000 miles. I had the brakes replaced 21,000 miles ago and when I had my last service 5000 miles ago the front had 8mm and the rear had 6mm remaining (rear never replaced). About 500 miles ago I started noticing a light grinding sound as I come to a stop. Performance feels fine just not sure what to make of the sound.

Do you think it’s possible to wear down the remaining 8mm in 5000-6000 miles? I am not light on my brakes and recently went on an 800 mile road trip across 3 mountain passes. Could be brakes, could be a rock, could be…

I know it’s as easy as taking it in but that’s always a pain. Just wanted to see what other owners experiences were with their own 4runners.

Thanks as always!

2007 Limited here with 76,000 and original pads and rotors. Things still look healthy on mine. I do some towing, but trailer has 4-wheel brakes.

Not sure how to help you.
