Not really. It is a pick-up, most weight is in front. Actually what
you said does not make sense.

In most vehicles, front brakes wear far faster than rear brakes. And
it's because the weight shifts to the front upon braking. It applies
even to rear-engined cars.

Ayup, ever notice how the front end dips on stopping; the harder stop
the more pronounced?

Iggy may be the exception given the way he says he drives and that many
light trucks still have rear drums and disk front which can change the
wear rate considerable.

I've never seen a car or a light truck that wears its rear brakes
faster than the fronts. If the rear drums are really feeble, it may be
that there are some out there. But I haven't seen one. And I've had a
bunch (including my current 2004 focus) that have disks on front and
really sad little drums on the rear.
