Your breaks yet? Mine are starting to get really annoying, that high pitch noise at slow speeds with just a slight touch on the break peddle. To give an idea of loud, I have hearing loss from my job in the military and they are starting to bother me.

I've done my brakes twice. Never really wore them down too far. Since I do the job myself it's pretty inexpensive to keep fresh pads on the truck. I don't like it when they get much past 50% wear. Noisy, performance loss, need to add fluid, etc...
For about $120 you can have new high quality pads and it helps prolong the life of the rotors.
Good luck.

62,000 miles a few weeks ago when I replaced the rear pads on mine. The ears on the pads and the slot that they ride in developed enough rust that the inside right pad was dragging and wore itself out. The rest of the rear pads were maybe 20-25%. I thought it was a hung caliper at first but the caliper turned out to be fine.
I ignored the squeak or squeal noise for about a week until I found time to deal with it. I ordered Hawk Superduty pads for it and the Amazon vendor screwed up my order so I ended up going with the Motorcraft Severe Duty pads. I have been very impressed with them so far. Braking with the empty truck was much improved and the improvement was confirmed on our 330 mile round trip with the big fifth wheel last weekend. I need to get off my butt and replace the front pads now. At 67k, I say you did okay.

Ok good so seems like I am in the norm. I remember doing breaks on my other trucks but can't remember mile increments in which I did em.
That was my question is what to go with? I did give a quick look on amazon but didn't have time to do any real reading.

I'm happy with the durability and braking with OEM. I was able to get new ford rotors and pads from Tousley for $450 including delivery. the rotors were about $320, pads about 100, and the rest shipping.
didnt really NEED new rotors per say, but decided that since I was tearing the wheels down, might as well replace them. didnt want to get the wheels apart and find a surprise, or be forced to wait to get them turned. there was actually quite a bit of rust inside the old rotors.

Tom, I had to do my front brakes right after I purchased my truck about a year ago, at 89k. They were original, according to the OO, so I went right back with OEM, but just pads only, rotors were good.
I'm going to replace my rear pads next week, just discovered they're finally gone at a recent tire rotation. Again, I'll go right back with OE, as they now have 106k on 'em. I reeeeeally can't complain about the performance, longevity, low dust, no noise, etc...
And I found 'em on ebay for $46 shipped:

Obviously with that kind of miles on a 2011, you must do a lot of highway driving. What kind of miles do you get out of your tires? Stop and go city driving is a lot harder on brakes, tires and everything else in general.

Only get about 50K out of my tires, apparently I'm too hard on them while on the unloaded return trips. :-p
