Keep the shop honest with a 2nd or 3rd opinion. Thats a lot of replacement with the given mileage.
They're being honest.
I live on a bad dirt road, have 3/2 spacers and drive 80+ miles 6 days a week. Plus our roads are garbage in Massachusetts
Luckily I purchased the extended warranty when I bought the car last year. They should pay for most of it.

What year is yours? My 07 doesnt have a "rear upper control arm" it has like 4 little ones plus the rear lower control arm. Its like a spider holding that shit on.
'14. The mechanic wasn't sure what they were. I work at the shop and I had to call the dealership to see what some of the parts are. Ended up being rear links and rear ball joints, but you can't order rear ball joints. I have to order the arm assemblies.
The CV axles on these don’t typically go bad if ever....if they are paying for it ok. If not I’d have a second opinion. Another thing, the control arms typically don’t go bad on these trucks either....they last 200-300,000 miles. Sounds like a lot of parts that don’t need replacing.
There's a dirt road on Cape Cod?
Yup. A lot actually. Not as many as there once was, but there's still a lot. I live a half mile out on a dirt road. Hell, I didnt get street numbers until the 90s and we don't have rural mail delivery. I couldn't get cable until the early 00's. Also, my only source of heat is a coal stove and fire place.
