I don't know about the Taurus, but my other Fords/ Merc will usually go 80K to 100K before they need the first set of pads replaced. I agree with the other guys, if it is caught quick enough, you can usually do just the pads and not rotors.

If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
