[Verdoro 68]

My wife's daily driver is a 2019 Traverse AWD. It has about 50k on it and I just installed the third set of front brakes on the car. I got about 40k out of the OEM pads, which I was disappointed about. I installed Duralast Gold ceramic pads and freshened up the rotors in March and 10k miles later, they are toast.

She's notoriously hard on our cars and has a heavy foot, but I've never seen someone who can kill a set of brakes so quick in daily driving! Granted, we do live at the top of a pretty steep hill, but it doesn't seem to be an issue for my daily driver.

It looks like some debris may have got between the pad and rotor on the passenger side which hastened the demise. She does drive on unpaved roads several times a week. Either way, these pads were down to the nub. Not surprising since the front wheels are always covered in black brake dust. Oddly, the rear brakes have plenty of meat on the OEM pads and look great.

I ended up replacing the front pads and rotors with a PowerStop Z23 Carbon Fiber-Ceramic set for towing. Hopefully I get more than 10k out of them otherwise I may have to get used to doing the brakes when I change the oil.
