2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 2001.5 Rear Brakes

[CSMITH]

What I believe is a problem I'm having is it seems like the front brakes do most of the stopping which is normal with quite a bit of pressure on the brake pedal, but when I check the back disc brakes they still have a lot of pad left. I had my fronts done at about 60000 and the truck has over 100000 now. I would think the rear brakes should be worn more. I do haul trailers so I figure the rear rakes should have more wear. Any ideas or do you believe this is normal. Thanks......

There's no standard for brake pad wear other then OEM how much it costs the manufacturing company spends to make the pad determines if it's a premium pad or a OEM standard pad
As long as all the brakes are working property you shouldn't worry about them
Example a street hot rodder will burn up brakes faster then grandmother driving to church how's your driving ???
Just too many variables involved to make a call about your pad wear rate

You may wear out three sets of front pads before the rears are gone. bg

Thanks for your replys.

I know on my 01.5 I could easily get 2:1.

Rear brakes always last considerably longer than the fronts due to the braking percentage proportioned to the fronts. But that said, 60k miles for front pads is not great. You should be using that exhaust brake as often as possible.
