Rear brakes often wear out first because they bear a greater portion of the vehicle's braking load, especially in vehicles with front-wheel drive. This can cause the rear brakes to wear out faster than the front brakes.

Why would rear brakes wear faster than front brakes?

Rear brakes can wear faster than front brakes due to factors such as vehicle weight distribution, braking habits, and the design of the braking system. The weight of the vehicle is typically more concentrated towards the front, causing the rear brakes to work harder to slow down the vehicle. Additionally, aggressive braking or frequent use of the parking brake can also contribute to faster wear on the rear brakes.

Why do my front brakes wear out quicker than rear brakes on my 1999 Dodge Ram 1500?

It could be that the rear brakes are not functioning properly; leading to the front brakes having to compensate. That is, if the front ones are going out much quicker than the rear. I believe that the front ones just naturally wear faster than the rear ones On a light truck the front brakes will do up to 75% of the braking.

Usually the front brakes wear out first. Brake usage isn't covered under warranty because wear depends on how the person uses them. If you use them a lot more (stop and go traffic) they wear out a lot faster. if the rear are worn, check the front as well.
