Brake pads ENDLESS or OEM Toyota

I've driven a 2020 Prius Prime for 5 years now. Best car I've ever driven. Through 68,000 kms, I'm averaging 2.0L / 100km's. EV is programmed to not turn on below approx. -20C as a longevity feature. When temperature is below -8 the engine will turn on until warm enough to run EV efficiently.

I have a 2006 4Runner with almost 350,000 miles on it. Solid as a rock. All I do is change the oil and occasionally replace the break pads.

My 2021 is now around 75k miles. I’ve changed the oil, tires and brakes.

For example: my 2007 3MZFE Toyota with 227kmi -- considered one of the most reliable drivetrains ever built -- has required brakes, a wheel bearing, an intake rubber coupler, an alternator, and power steering lines replacement this year alone.

I’ve had my Toyota 4Runner for 13 years now. Never needed to change my brakes or encountered catastrophic engine failures. Maybe lucky but per Toyota, the 4Runner is rated for 22 MPG on the highway and I’m getting 23.5 MPG.

Didn't need to even change the break pad more then once. Never need to to add oil because it never burned any. Even on its last oil change no sign of burning or sludge build up.

amazing truck - I daily drove one in California (gasoline 1fz-fe is arguably the best Toyota motor ever IMO) for several years. Geared for off-road, doesn't cruise comfortably on freeways above ~70mph. 12-13 miles per gallon city or highway, always the same number. It never stranded me, so very reliable.

Stock brake pads lasted 3 track days which is insane for £65. Ive never had such good stock pads, I nearly always upgraded them and I'd never use stock pads on track as thats mental, but these are insane.

I'm now on Endless ME20 pads, and they last longer, but still only about 20 sessions in the front. Rears are lasting maybe 2-3X as long. So I'm guessing that I am just overheating the fronts and getting above their happy temps. These pads are much harder on the rotors as well, and hard to get affordably in the USA.

I ran the MX72s until I melted them onto the rotors as well.
