Wheel bearing failure - 62K miles

[Wanderlust073]

Felt the smallest of vibrations coming from the front left wheel on a long drive recently and it looks like the bearing is on its way out. Not the end of the world, and the truck gets beat like an old mule during trail season, but just curious if this is normal lifespan/premature based on general experience. 2020 2500 w/62,000 mi.

Not normal in my experience, but bearings can and do fail prematurely at times. Having one replaced on my 4xe Rubicon with about 20,000 miles on it.

I have just over 100,000 miles on my current RAM, 64,000 on my previous RAM, no issues yet ...

Luck of the draw, friend.
We’ve had 5 or 6x 2nd gen tundras and one wheel bearing went REAL bad at like 20k miles the other trucks have 150-200k on them with no issue.

Stock wheels and stock size tires? Larger offset wheels and bigger tires can affect bearing life. It’s also luck of the draw mostly.

My bearings are still good on my 19 even with an 800lbs plow on most of the winter.
