I currently have 28,000 miles on my Navigator. The rear brake pads were worn down to 1mm and the fronts were worn down about 75%. The front rotors were heat scorched. I trailer about 10% of the mileage and generally do not brake that hard. We are in TX, so conditions are typically hotter. Anyone else have these issues?
I decided to fix this correctly and install the Powerstop K8026-36 kit for towing. This includes front and rear slotted and drilled rotors and high performance brake pads. The kit was just under $500 on Amazon and my mechanic charged $200 for the installation. I expect this will solve the problem, but only time will tell. I thought this was a better option than going with OEM again that would likely have the same issue or cheep after market. I had a similar problem on my 2008 Sequoia and this solved the problem (Toyota later admitted to the problem and retrofitted additional brake cooling).
Anyone else experience this issue?
