Brake pads OEM FORD or OEM Toyota
Camry or corolla hybrids. I have cameys in my fleet that have done half a million KMs needing nothing more than oil, filters, tyres and a single set of brake pads
Just did the brakes on my 1994 4runner. Discs were smooth, no rust or grooves. Way above spec, the pads must have been soft. I put in some much better quality pads and did not turn them.
Genuine Toyota Brake Pads hindi naman araw araw pinapalitan yan and safety ang nakataya dyan. I’m not saying hindi maganda yung mga replacement brands pero by using Genuine Toyota Brake Pads 100% sure ka na ok ang quality yun kasi ang binabayaran sa Genuine parts yung peace of mind na pumasa yung parts nayan sa standards ng Toyota.
Sa mga brake pads specifically may mga replacement brake pads na naninira ng brake rotors.
I have a 2007 Prius. Bought it with 120,000 miles. Got 365,000 on it. Never put brakes on.
I had a 2008 Ford Fusion and drove by large long distance (commuted for a while between SFO and LA).
Eventually I moved to the East Coast and needed to do mandatory car checks (started in DC). When we finally moved to NYC I was at the garage and needed to do the inspection. The guy said he cannot let me pass, because the brake pads where at the limit. I ask him to change them and mentioned that this is the first replacement of my brake pads and he was shaking his head in disbelief because I had almost exactly 100k miles on my odometer. I explained to him that almost 90% of the mileage was long distance ( minimum of 200 miles on way trips) and he still was saying “He never saw anybody having their first brake pads replaced at 100k miles”
I've driven a 2020 Prius Prime for 5 years now. Best car I've ever driven. Through 68,000 kms, I'm averaging 2.0L / 100km's. EV is programmed to not turn on below approx. -20C as a longevity feature. When temperature is below -8 the engine will turn on until warm enough to run EV efficiently.
Braking is mostly regenerative, instead of using the brake pads. Your brake pads will probably last between 100k - 200k miles.
Needs brakes and suspension. Need new pads and rotors front and back and new calipers front and back as well, car is from a rust state and are pretty rusty. Needs new shocks all around as well since they're blown. With parts no labor I priced everything around 800 bucks.
It had about 35k miles on it and the service rep said it failed due to the front brakes being worn down to the rotors.
When we bought our Ford lightening... the sales person told me with a strait face "people think that evs go through less brakes, but really its actually rhe opposite" when trying to sell me a maintenance package...
