Understood.
It's a 2WD suv driven by a relative as a daily drive on these roads:

Rough estimates for that 2wd SUV are (in increasing miles):
o Tires 30K miles
o Front pads 50K miles
o Front rotors 75K miles
o Clutch 90K miles
o Rear shoes 200K miles
o Rear drums 350K miles
However it wouldn't be hard to double the clutch life and front brakes
on flatter terrain.
Yes. The problem for the clutch is the terrain, and, this particular driver
doesn't comprehend the concept of being gentle on the clutch either.
Even so, the hills eat the tires:

Xeno explained why in the past as 'camber scrub':

Which is an amazingly complicated set of affairs:

Resulting in wear of the front inside edge that you can't believe:

Which is palpable after even as little as a few hundred miles:
