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.


My various Ford Rangers go through 2 front pad changes for every 1
rear drum brake shoe change. And I dont drive hard, but I am often
pulling a trailer and have about 500-800 lbs of gear on/in the truck
all the time.

Really?

"Hurt" aint the word.

For Liberals, the truth is like salt to a slug.
Sunlight to a vampire.
Raid® to a cockroach.
Sheriff Brody to a shark
Bush to a Liberal

The truth doesn't just hurt. It's painful, like a red hot poker shoved
up their ass. Like sliding down a hundred foot razor blade using their
dick as a brake.

They HATE the truth."
