Brake pads ATE or OEM Nissan
Maintenance has been 4x brake pads, 2x rotors, 4/5 sets of tires. Air filters yearly, oil changes every 7k miles.
For normal driving I'd recommend either ATE Ceramic pads, paired with ATE, painted or coated discs.
Get Ate ceramic. never (almost never) have to wash your wheels again
Brakes and hoses ATE.
OEM pads and rotors for brakes
OEM gave me 140k miles with stock setup, but only about 60k with Titan swap, wider stance, more weight
I also suggest you to buy ATE or TRW pads, because cheap stuff might squeak.
If you’ve still got UFO fronts the part number for pads is ATE 602847 (13.0460-2847.2)
Had one 2023 with 31k miles and so far so good , yet the one about the brakes exhaust early is true , maybe you need to change them once every year
I have the 2023 Rockcreek edition, and at 60,500 KM and regular maintenance, no problems to report. Had to do one wheel alignment so far, and change the brakes both front and back at around 48,000 KM which was the only problem. They need bigger brakes. But I also pull twice a year a trailer for vacations which is almost 4000 lbs. so i guess it might be normal.
But overall I’m happy with it.
If im being completetly honest. A nissan gtr nismo. I had a track day for my highschool graduation, the breaks on it didnt feel the best.
