How often should I change the brake pads on my Ford Ranger?

I have a Ford Ranger and I am wondering how often I should change the brake pads for optimal performance and safety?

As a general rule, you should replace your brake pads every 50,000 miles or sooner if you notice any changes in braking performance or hear squealing sounds. This can vary depending on your driving habits and the type of brake pads you use.

It's always a good idea to check your brake pads regularly and replace them as needed. If you frequently drive in heavy traffic or use your brakes heavily, you may need to replace them more often.
