I have an 05 Frontier with 28000 miles on it. Does anyone know how long the brake pads last?

Depends on how you drive it. I checked mine at 54,000 miles and had plenty of pad left (maybe 20k or more). Most of my driving is highway miles and I'm
not hard on the brakes. City stop-and-go driving or aggressive driving will eat 'em up much quicker.

I only got < 15K on my 05 pads....due to defective caliper casting...causing binding.
Since grinding of casting and replacement of pads...no noticible wear. Currently at 23,000 .

Hey Gene, I just turned 47,000 and all seems fine. I'd say about half is hwy miles.

The length of time varies by Driver. You can make an educated guess though, all you have to do is take off your wheels so you can get to the caliper and
measure the distance between the pad's backing plate and the surface of the rotor. Since we know what the thickness of the pad was when we started, we can
do some cross multiplication, that will show us when are brakes will be completely consumed, using I did this a while back and found that for my truck I was
looking at 98K miles for the fronts and 252K for the rear.

Had mine checked at 45K miles due to a noise. All was well with about 50% wear still left. That was with mainly city miles, but some long distance intervals.
Hope that helps.

I just checked mine at 33600 miles and I have plenty left. My miles are stop and go city driving with a lot of downhills too. But of course, checking your
brakes regularly keeps the doctor away.

I have over 188,000 miles on my truck and am only on my third set of pads. I will probably change them around 210, 000 miles. It does depend how you brake
at a stop. I slow down well before a stop when possible and do not "stop on a dime".
