Brake pads

How long have you guys been able to go before the brake pads need to be replaced?

A really, really long time. Depending on how you use your truck 80,000+ miles for the fronts is common...rears 100,000+ miles.

heavier the load then you may wear them out faster. Ford puts out heavy duty pads (not what came with the truck) or you could go with Hawk heavy duty pads.

I got 48K out of my fronts and 56K for the rears.

I changed front at 50k with a little pad left. I full time rv with a 16k 5th wheeler. Back were good. I do have disc brakes on trailer which takes stress off truck brakes

Heck, up north the rotors usually rust out and around taking out the pads which may still be good....

Wow. 80-100K is forever. That's great news.

BTW, my wife's Subaru has the adaptive cruise, which relies heavily on the front pads. It sort of chews them up faster than normal. I wonder if that doesn't also affect other makes/models of vehicles with adaptive cruise ... vehicle functions that rely on brakes.

Absolutely! I notice a HUGE increase in brake dust on the wheels when I use adaptive cruise.
