Brake pads OEM Toyota or OEM KIA
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.
Stock brake pads lasted 3 track days which is insane for £65. Ive never had such good stock pads, I nearly always upgraded them and I'd never use stock pads on track as thats mental, but these are insane.
I always useToyota/Honda pads. No noise, and they last longer. NAPAs best pads may or may not squeal, factory pads don't.
It’s got 102,700kms on the clock and owned it since new. I’m still on my first set of brake pads.
Still on the factory brake pads too.
65k miles rav4 mine was down to 3mm which was in the red on the brake thickness gauge.
Damn i have a 2009 corolla doing uber eats in Los angeles. I change the fronts at like 20-30k they start squealing.
However, on Toyotas, I always pay the extra money for genuine Toyota discs and pads. They’re still made in Japan or the US. Whereas all of the aftermarket options for Toyotas are Chinese-made junk. And since those aftermarket ones wear out so fast, they end up being the more expensive option per mile vs the genuine parts.
