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

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.
Happened to me. When driving I was 100% certain my brake noise was coming from thr right front brake. Checked the right front brakes, then the left fron - everything was perfect. Then had my wife move the truck back and forth and apply the brakes while I stood outside and immediately could tell it was the left rear. Felt pretty dumb!
