Absolutely. I don't tow and when i haul anything substantial it's typically at most 6-7 times a year for a day. 85% of my driving is highway. I also don't drive like a teenager. I average 60k on brakes. 45k on tires. And i could probably go longer. My father had an Acura he sold with 120k miles with original brakes.
Towing and hauling aside, if people just learned how to drive "normally" they would save themselves a lot of $$. Amazes me how many people brake late and hard. They see a red light ahead and instead of letting off the gas and starting to brake gently they just keep powering up to it then jamming on the brakes. Same with when you know you are going to turn in somewhere and not slowing down early. You aren't saving any time by driving aggressive like that. Just killing your brakes and making crap slide around the bed of your truck.
My full time job is running the fastest mode of ground transportation in the US. I hit 150MPH every day i work and brake hundreds of times. There is a science to braking and acceleration times without hurting on time performance. And i can tell you it's not braking at the last minute hard.
