I’ve had my Toyota 4Runner for 13 years now. Never needed to change my brakes or encountered catastrophic engine failures. Maybe lucky but per Toyota, the 4Runner is rated for 22 MPG on the highway and I’m getting 23.5 MPG.
Didn't need to even change the break pad more then once. Never need to to add oil because it never burned any. Even on its last oil change no sign of burning or sludge build up.
amazing truck - I daily drove one in California (gasoline 1fz-fe is arguably the best Toyota motor ever IMO) for several years. Geared for off-road, doesn't cruise comfortably on freeways above ~70mph. 12-13 miles per gallon city or highway, always the same number. It never stranded me, so very reliable.
I went with EBC slotted with EBC red pads and it made a total difference in the bite and consistency of the braking on my 7.5.
I run the dimpled and slotted versions along with EBC yellow pads and they grab WAY better than stock in every comparable way. The initial bite on the pads when cold and hot is significantly better and they resist heat much longer too.
Running EBC Yellow's at the moment.
I went with EBC Reds (ceramic, low dust) as they have a decent reputation. EBC brakes do not include the standard brake kit hardware.
I haven't had any issue with yellow stuff on my 350Z doing hot track days in Miami. But the brakes don't last as long as they should. So I'm trying blue next time and I might go to the full track pads whenever that isn't enough.
My rear ebcs are squealing like a b...thc
Don’t get those pads, they squeak constantly.
