got a brand new 2017 lx 570 and it has on 10k on it. Lexus of Beverly Hills told me that my front brake pads have 4mm left and I will need to change them in 3k miles.
They told me thats because its a heavy car it need to change brakes that soon. I have another have Mercedes Suv at home with 35k mills and it has its original brake pads on it, I might need to change them in the next 10k.
Is it normal for lx 570 to need brakes every 13k miles.
Should i get an aftermarket Brambo brakes maybe?
Thank you for all your help

LX is heavy. But I still have 6 mm front and 8 mm rear at 20k miles. The only problem with LX is the adaptive cruise control programming. For a better mpg it prefers to use brakes instead of downshifting (completely different than othe Lexus cars, like for example LS460). On long mountain slopes it can even overheat brakes and damage rotors. So it can also affect brake pads.
