I posted this under the 'brake' forum but I thought I would repeat it here.

I just turned 36,000 miles and I am starting to hear a little squeaking coming from the brakes. My Explorer Sport Trac went about this long before putting new pads on. What's your experience on life span of factory brake pads??

I have about 34,000 miles on my 02 KR. I was told I will need brakes within 3,000 miles.

 

Brakes done at 42,000 kilometers also had the Upper Ball Joints replaced at same time. Almost 3 years to the day of purchase. Noticed an improvement in ride and handling.

 

I only have 11K on this truck but on my 99 it was about 35K. I don't remember the exact mileage when I traded it in, somewhere around 75K and they were ready again.

 

Mine had 36K on it I had to replace the front brakes.

 

77,000 miles and still going on all original brakes. Still on the original General Grabbers, too.
