Yeah, for wipers, it's usually a gradual decline but once they start to go, it's quick; I usually look for any hazing or small spots that don't clear right away, which is a lot more obvious than trying to gauge wear on something like brake pads where you just trust a good brand like raybestos to do its job.
This might not be a popular opinion, but I've never had any problems with my OEM pads or rotors. Truck had the original OEM pads and rotors on it when I bought it, when those wore out I put Raybestos ones on and I was definitely not impressed with their performance. I switched back to OEM and have been happy ever since.
Maintenance has been 4x brake pads, 2x rotors, 4/5 sets of tires. Air filters yearly, oil changes every 7k miles.
Raybestos is fine for everyday driving actually, wasn\u2019t aware that\u2019s what you had.
I've been using raybestus element 3. Pads and rotors on my Toyotas.
I would look at Raybestos, Wagner, Bendix, Bosch, or any of the major parts store brands.
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.
I had bad luck with a set of raybestos I put on my Tlx. Vibrations after 3k miles. Rebedded them, vibes again in 3k.
I installed raybestos and having so many issues with them already feeling warped and noisy brakes.
