Weather and Conditions Impact:

Cold Weather: The brake pads may take longer to heat up, leading to reduced effectiveness until they warm up.
Hot Weather: Higher temperatures can cause brake pads to wear out faster, especially when frequently used on long downhill stretches.
Off-Road Conditions: Driving on dirt roads o r rough terrains puts additional stress on the brakes.

In regions with extreme weather o r rough terrain, brake pads may need to be replaced more often. Do you drive your Hilux in extreme conditions, like snow, mud, o r off-roading?
