239k, never had a tune-up or changed plugs. Is this unusual?

    He never said that he didn't do oil changes. Just not plugs and tuneups.

    Did the plugs come out 'relatively' easy?????

    That looks like the plugs that came out of my wife's ford....it had a 156k miles when we bought it....figured they had been changed at the recommended 100k mile interval. At 190k they started to miss when accelerating....I went chasing what I thought was a transmission issue...when I pulled them at 200k they looked a lot like that!....lol, like your truck my wife's ford runs much better now they have been replaced.

    I just bought this Tacoma. My first gas powered truck in almost 20 years. I have not checked the factory plug change interval yet. I will have a few weeks to look it up. I used Denso plugs.

    And they appear to be the correct brands as well.

    I did my first plug change since the truck was new @ 155K and they looked fine. Truck ran exactly the same after and MPGS were the same also.

    Me thinks 30K rec is to line the dealers pockets

    What?! You get 26MPG?!

    I get 420 KM per tank which is only 262 miles. Which is about 16.7 MPG!

    Your 420 Miles would equal 672 km!

    420 miles is not 26mpg....its 20mpg. Which is the same what I get.

    Autolite really? In a Japanese truck? Really? Check in a few thousand miles, if they so much as twitch replace with denso or ngk.
    26 mpg? In a truck? Really. No. Sorry I don't believe it. I get 22 in mine which I think is great but mine is almost new.
