I just did my 2017 Tundra at 90,000 km. Just over $350 for Toyota pads front and rear. Rotors still in good shape. Paco

Much like diapers and politicians " Change early and change often". Paco

There is nothing quite as exciting as a cheap Chinese lithium battery. Time will soon tell how good the cheap China made EV's are. Paco
