Front brakes
I did a brake job on my 2002 2500 Dmax. The back brakes on the right rear were down to metal to metal. Put on a new rotor and pads. Now to the front. There were a lot of pad left but changed them any ...

Thanks for the advice just took a one dayn RV trip and they stop the truck and trailer fine.
What part of "Thanks for the advice just took a one dayn RV trip and they stop the truck and trailer fine." didn't register with you?
Also, the OP never said the rears wore out faster than the fronts. All he said was the rears were done for and the fronts had some pad left.
Truck is 20 years old. Could have been on orig brakes all around, could be on it's 4th set of fronts and original rears. Could be somewhere in-between, maybe the OP bought it last week and has no idea when the brakes were done last.
And where does the "poorly designed" comment come from? When is the last time you heard of an OEM vehicle brake system that wasn't at least adequate up to industry standards. And especially on a HD truck?
I'll add, I've had the same truck as the OP and driven many others similar, probably with the same brake part numbers and there was nothing wrong with the design of the brakes. Not that it's pertinent, but just to confirm that truck doesn't have poorly designed brakes.
It is always more accurate and objective to not read into the story just use the info given until that info changes.
Not unlike the other multitude of responses telling the OP his front brakes weren't working right, when that was never said, or even implied.
