How is your seat? My '12 KR just broke 100K and the drivetrain is fine other than DEF heater and a lift pump replacement (though I think I have a flaky NOX sensor now). But the upholstery is taking a beating. Last 4 drivers I've had went 200K and I expect this one will as well, but the inside is wearing faster than I like.

Plus salt is not good to bare metal surfaces like brake rotors...
That's why slotted and drilled rotors are not a good idea here.

Well friends it's that time again for a truck update at 300,000 miles. Drivetrain has been spectacular and no drama or serious issues to date. Here's a list of repairs so far after 12 years and 300,000 miles
5 EGT sensors
2 Nox sensors
Passenger side front hub/bearing
AC compressor/Evaporator coil
Alternator
DEF heater/pump
EGR cooler internals
Top radiator hose
Fuel mileage is essentially the same as when the truck was new and truck is essentially all stock except for Bilstein shocks. Fuel additives have been used for the most part as experimental with the exception of using Archoil for the past year and I plan to continue to use it, unless I find something better.

My wife has 2014 Edge Sport with 130k miles, and it still has the original factory brake pads and rotors.

Depends on how you drive. I have 181k on my '21' the rotors look fantastic. On my 3rd set of pads. Truck carries wieght all the time and tows my X4 on a tailer with no brakes. I could see someone getting 300k miles on rotors.

Owned a 2002 F250 7.3 diesel when I lived in Alaska for 11 years and 110,000 miles. Dropped the truck off to my mechanic and told him to do a F & R brake job. He called me later and said forget it. Both F & R pads were still at 50%. And I towed a heavy boat all summer on a trailer that did not have brakes (long story). It is amazing how long brakes will last if you learn to anticipate stopping and learn to coast.

Dug into my notes. My first set of brakes, pads and rotors, were changed in June 2019 at 42,720 miles, bought truck at end of December of 2016. According to my notes, front pads were worn pretty good and rear sides of rotors were pitted, one side worse than the other... I believe I took pics which I'd have to find on my Google cloud. Replaced the rears as well...
That's why slotted and/or cross drilled rotors is not a good idea here in WNY... they begin to chunk out according to my buddy who does my brake jobs for me.

Also included is I tow a 22ft bay boat several times a month and a tractor/shredder several times a year and those loads don't have any trailer brakes. We have 2002 F350 7.3PSD Super Duty and it still has the original rotors.
My wife has 2014 Edge Sport with 130k miles, and it still has the original factory brake pads and rotors.

I'm close to the Gulf Coast in Louisiana!! High tides bring in saltwater that covers the roads down there and it can eat up brakes. Bought my F250 from my son in law that towed a 24' bay boat a lot to Grand Isle which is like a mini Galveston!! Had to get the front brakes and new shocks replaced due to saltwater. 102K miles when I had it done and truck drives like new. '17 F250 Lariat Ultimate that's all stock.

I second that! I perform a service on my brakes at least once, but usually twice a year ever since I had a couple slide pins on my 2011 seize up unexpectedly. The service generally includes removing all parts cleaning them thoroughly and then reapplying lube to all moving parts.
