Yes brakes every <5k is a joke. Something isn't right.I'm not sure what to make of that 2nd thread lol. OP...err TROLL... needing new brake pads every 3,600 miles??!? I bought my LX570 at 85k miles, driven it for almost 15k miles since, and the truck had new pads installed at ~60k miles from prior owner. Aside from an intermittent brake squeal upon stop, I have plenty of brake left.
I'm at 85k and my rear brakes are getting low. Will probably do all 4 at 90k, though I suspect the fronts could inch past the 100k mark. I've had the truck since 49k so not sure if the brakes were original but half my mileage is towing and half is pure city so either way I feel good about their service life.
