    One can never have too many light bars.
    Stay away from it. They won't change any differential oil either which after 30K mine looked awful. I personally got my plugs done for 100 bucks (25 for parts 75 for labor). I think you would be better off doing the services yourself or taking it to an ASE certified independent mechanic.

    One of the things that's good for your truck is avoiding the dealer. If you are not able to do the work yourself, find a good independent garage that's been around awhile.

    I called again today and asked about the differential and transfer case fluids, antifreeze, power steering, break fluids and all that is NOT covered. So basically all i get for 299.00 is 30, 35, 40, 45K oil changes and tire rotations. Thinking now that this is not a great deal. I can go to a local monroe or mavis and get that cheaper and then guess find someone to do the other stuff. I would do the differential and transfer case but not sure how hard something like that is to do. Is it fairly simple or no ??

    As the title of your thread states...Toyota Care Extended Contract.

    The dealer is simply selling you oil changes and a tire rotation which will be performed by low-paid, give-a-shit employees. I told my wife when she bought her 2014 4 Runner what would happen and sure enough, it did. We are done with Toyota Care.

    All maint-related items on this vehicle are well within the reach of a do-it-yourselfer. This forum is a gold mine of info for DIYERS. Lots of threads on anything you need for maint. + more.
