Brakes
Anyone have any idea aprox. how many miles under normal driving conditions and light towing (8000#'s 4 or 5 times a year) a set of factory brakes pads should last? Do they have wear indicators?

They will have wear indicators. I call them squealers it's a small piece of spring steel that will rub the rotor and squeel when the BRAKES are applied.

Lockout your OD in the city, or even put it in 2nd. Seems to help save on brake pads.
