Brake pad life

[2011kluger]

How many km are people getting on their kluger before they do a brake pad change.

I replaced my front and rear pads at 80k now at 130k and still ok, very slight pulsation so I will change the rotors next time too

My '07 KXR 2wd bought new, had 150k on the clock when I traded it and still on the original pads about half worn.

Note that 90% of my driving was long distance with very little stop/go motoring, and I drive to get economy, so I go easy on the brakes.

My replacement, a 2012 KXR AWD, was a Hertz car for its first 2 years and 60k, so I dont know how long these brakes will last, and looking at the past fuel consumption figures the renters were lead-footed, so the brakes would have taken a hiding too.

My Update: Well I have now got 140,000km on the 2012 KXR and just replaced the brakes and rotors, (along with the steering arm bushes), so I am happy with that

Wow, 60k that's very good. I was thinking pad change would be required well before that

My 2009 KXR AWD has now done 80K and is still on its original brake pads. My driving is mostly city, but I am easy on the brakes.

Not happy with Toyota charging $950 for the 80K service though & that was a reduced price.
