JK brake pads sure are small

I order and just received a set of rear brake pads for my 2013 JKU. When they came in last night, I opened the box and was surprised by how small the pads are. 

I replaced the brakes on my brothers Ford Expedition a couple of weeks ago and the rear brakes on the Ford were literally at least twice the length of the Wrangler pads. 

I know the Expedition is much larger and heavier, but the Wrangler is still a 4,000 pound vehicle. Maybe that is why the rear pads wear out so quickly.

Oh, my brake pads are not quite worn out yet. I ordered new pads though because Amazon now has Wagner ceramic pads for $29.91. They retail for $65 at pretty much all auto parts stores so I bought them while I can get them for a great price.
