I hit the 100,000 mile mark on my 2018 Yukon Denali. Still have the original brakes and runs/drives great.

Replaced the original brakes on my 2014 SS Sedan a few months ago with 130K miles on them with 30% pad left.
My Yukon has 60+% pad left at 100K so will likely do the brakes next year or so. Going to upgrade to 16" rotors & 6 piston calipers in front. Not sure on the rear brakes yet.
I don't use my brakes much. LOL
All brake pads look like this

The truck is just broken in. Happy motoring for the next 100,000 to 200,000 miles.

Nice. I'm almost hitting 150k in my 2015 Tahoe.

My son has 140K miles on his 2015 Yukon Denali.
I replaced my OEM brakes on my 2017 at 125k. They still had some life left, but the front rotors were starting to pulse when hot. Most of my GM vehicles over the years have given me well over 100k on the first set of brakes. Driving style and type of commute definitely plays into the life span as well. The rear pads were original on my 2008 yukon- replaced at 182k, fronts were replaced around 120k, I think, before I bought it.

I've taken a few vehicles past the 250K miles that still had original engine & transmission that still ran great and looked like new. I keep my vehicles clean & maintain them myself.
Not sure I'll live long enough to get to 400K miles on my Yukon, I have too many vehicles that I rotate thru so none sit. Will try to reach 200K sometime in 2029. I have a 15K road trip planned next year but that's in my 1973 Camaro retro-mod that I'm working on & hasn't been driven in 22 years.

I have 109k on my 2018 Escalade Luxury. My lifters failed at 107k again on the driver side. This time #7 twisted in the guide and ruined my camshaft. The first time was at 79k on the passenger side. My mechanic replaced my camshaft and both sides of my lifters. The truck is more responsive and oil psi went from 22 to 32 hot idle psi.

I was going to get the factory Brembo 6 piston brake upgrade from the 2021 and up GM trucks. I didn’t want to do it yet so I got Duralast Gold brake pads instead for the front and back. I am very impressed because my original truck brakes always would overheat the brakes when driving aggressively, even when close to new. Now after installing DuraLast Gold my brakes feel great and they do not overheat anymore. Also autozone gives free pads for life. You just buy the pads and install them then bring back the old pads for refund. You can’t beat that!
Dude you should change your avatar to the Autozone logo. Or at least get paid to be their spokesman. Lol!

I was thinking the same but I am really being honest. The DuraLast brand is a great brand. I had great success with the front upper/lower control arms from the Duralast Gold as well as the rear sway-bar end-links. The lifetime warranty is also great. When you are ready for control arms take a look at what I am talking about. The pads are great too. My brakes don’t wobble the wheel when driving like a nut anymore. The manager at the shop I go to is a real A-hole who wouldn’t take back a coil that I bought even though I bought it back the same way it was given to me. The DuraLast batteries Autozone sells looks identical to the DieHard. I think DieHard makes them. DieHard was my first choice when it came to batteries my whole life. I like that when my battery fails I can drive up to AutoZone change my battery in 5 minutes.

111,000 on my rig. AFM deleted via tune 45,000 miles ago. New transmission 15,000 miles ago. I believe this truck is currently on it's 3rd set of brakes.

Anybody planning a 15k mile road trip in a car that hasn’t been driven in 22 years is def mechanically inclined.

100K means the break in period is complete.
Mine last week. The miles were fun because what was on the radio.

Or abit crazy, LOL. I replaced the lifters & timing chain on my 150K mile 1999 Suburban the day before going on a 12K road trip with my wife & 4 kids. Neighbor saw me working on it & thought I had wrecked the Suburban with all that came off to replaced those parts.
We had a fun filled 6 week vacation with no issues. Gotta enjoy the journey.
