Sad story. I will tell you that my brother bought a new Nissan Frontier in 2016. A few months ago he took it in to our local mechanic for an oil change, he had 105,000 miles on the truck. He said "Look at the brakes it must need a brake job." Brother has never had any brake work done on this truck.
The mechanics told my brother that the brakes are fine and don't need work. I didn't know you could go that many miles without a brake job.
I have 150K miles on a 2006 Duramax and have never needed brakes. I don't pull heavy loads often other than firewood in the field stacked as high as I can get it in the bed. I'm at about 40% remaining on the pads.
