Miracle brakes?
I'm amazed by these brakes. My 2017 F250 crew cab 6.2 is going on 75,000 miles on the original brakes with plenty of life left to go. I haul and tow quite a bit too. I have never had brakes last half this long. I'm happy with the entire truck and impressed by these brakes. Anyone else getting this much longevity?

My first SD, 1999 F250 Supercab XLT 4x4 long bed, 5.4L had 135,000 miles when I traded it on the 2006 F250 and still had original brakes. I've never had to replace brakes on a new vehicle of any type before 80,000 miles.

Do you drive with both feets ? Because that's insane.

I replaced the front brakes on my 2003 F-250 at about 60K, only because they had an annoying squeak that wouldn't go away. The guys said they had plenty of pad and the rotors were fine. But I changed them anyway, and never had another issue. Sold the truck with 125K with the original rear brakes. My 2011 had 78K on the original brakes before the engine puked. I have a ways to go with my current 2019.

First Ford truck. I had a Denali for 45k before this one but only German sport sedans before.

Brakes are about to be replaced at a bit over 200,000 miles. The pads have been on back order for two months.
I figured I was getting good mileage out of the pads because I set the gain to 10 when pulling new campers (much lower when pulling my own).
