44K so far. Smooth braking and downshifting on longer distance stops makes a big difference in brake wear.

Just did the 50K miles service this weekend. All 4 wheel's have friction material as thick as the backing plate, so it's time to do them. All are evenly worn too.

I wanted to provide an update here on the rear brakes and what many of us view as premature wear. I'm told that YES FORD used much thinner pads and rotors out back which answers the issue beyond I feel anything related to the parking brake or traction control being a culprit. If you stay with OEM it will be the same setup so one option is looking into beefier brake kits for the rear.
I can say still I have had a trouble free ownership from 9/2019 and 31K overall until the surprise with the rear brakes.

just hit 31k recently and the brakes are toast. rear rotor warped and dragging / sticking caliper on right rear. currently sitting at the shop waiting on parts... odd how just a few months ago the friendly ford dealer told me my brakes were fine. but you know those aftermarket shocks they ruin transmissions, brakes, bearings etc.

Or, perhaps, a FEW MONTHS ago they were just fine.just hit 31k recently and the brakes are toast. rear rotor warped and dragging / sticking caliper on right rear. currently sitting at the shop waiting on parts... odd how just a few months ago the friendly ford dealer told me my brakes were fine. but you know those aftermarket shocks they ruin transmissions, brakes, bearings etc.
Nothing changes in just a few months.
