Can anybody beat 173,000 miles on pads? ...especially front pads? If you have jake brakes I don't think it will count in this little challenge.
The truck is rarely driven without a trailer of come kind out back and most miles are on the road. It is a formidable tow device.  |
Not even close! Of course when you have the fine handling road machines that I do, it's hard not always pushing them to the limits!
I'd imagine only manual trans. vehicles would be in the running (hybrids and electrics aside).

Back when I was delivering newspapers (1/2 of it was tube delivery), I had to replace the pads every 6-8 months in my dedicated Escort wagon.
