When ours wore out at 50k miles I came on this site asking questions about it
I was told the trucks computer applies the rear brakes at times for stability control thus the reason they wear faster than older models

Last week local weather shifted from single digit temps to mid forties. I finally was able to look at the rear brakes. The right rear caliper was seized and the inboard pad was gone. Metal on metal. I am waiting on a FedEx delivery of calipers, rotors and pads as I write this.
It's embarrassing to admit I was fooled into believing the problem HAD to be with the front brakes. I guess after 45+ years of shadetree wrenching I was overdue a rookie screwup.
