how long should this stuff last?

Theoretically, how long should these items last on a 2001 4-runner (4X2) assuming average driving.


shocks
brakes
tires


Thanks

Shocks: a very long time, could even be the life of the vehicle depending.

Brakes: front about 20 to 35k depending on pad type and quality and your driving style. Back about 50k with the same qualifiers

Tires: depends on alot of things, really too wide open. But I would expect to get at least 35k even out of the worst tires.

are shocks and shock absorbers the same thing? because I always thought it was 75k miles or something.

what about the battery?

They probably have a life expectancy of around 75k but just like a timing belt/chain they CAN last a lot longer.

Batteries in my experience last around 5 years.

and yes shocks and shock absorbers are the same thing.

I replace my battery six before the expected life. I usually get a five-year battery, so I replace mine at 4
