How long do these last? My 2007 only got 10K miles and I can hear my brake squeals metal to metal already.

Welcome to our site Vincent.

The brake squeal is a common problem with these rigs that is yet to be figured out. Most likely your pads are still good.
Do a search on brake squeal for more info.

take off a wheel or two and check them out. It's prolly the usual brake squeal that we all get. My pads would have lasted over 30K but I replaced them at 28K.

Thanks guys.
But there has been no squealing until recently and it's getting louder and louder.

the colder the weather, the worse it gets. What you are experiencing seem common but take it to the dealer with your conserns. They will inspect the brakes and perform a TSB on the rears to help with the squeal temporarily.

~13k miles here and with the cold & snow that just hit the brakes are squealing terribly. seems to go away with a few good braking sessions.
