brakes

How long was it before you had to replace your original brakes. On my old Nissan Maxima I was able to get up to 77k miles before the brakes needed to be replaced. On my T4R I got about 55K miles and they are ready. Yes I do realize there is a big difference between two cars but I thought that almost 20K miles difference is bit much. I do not abuse my brakes, just a normal everyday driving.

Mine lasted about one hundred thousand miles before it went metal to metal. It's funny, my dads 98 dodge dakota currently has 107 thousand miles and still has around 40% of it's brake pad material left. He tends to downshift alot which may be a big reason.

Its gonna vary too much by how you drive, and where you drive...

what year T4R do you have? what model?
 
05 SR5 4wd
i know it will vary, I was looking more for a ball park figure just to compare. My driving is pretty normal

oh, ok... Ive heard that the 4banger 3rd gens have some pretty common braking issues. ie rotors constantly warping etc.

thought maybe that might be why yours needed replacing a bit sooner...

it could be a weight issue also... if you constantly have more weight in your T4R than others, they may need replacing sooner.

I Drive an 85 T4R. Was my grandfathers till he gave it to me about three years ago. I don't drive it too hard, but i do tend to down shift in order to slow down. That's probably not too good though if i want a lasting clutch and transmission.
 
the only time there is any weight on the car is about 3 times a year when we go on our road trips, vacations. other than that a bag with my hockey gear 3 times a week
