10 years in, what sort of preventative maintenance should I be doing?

    I have a 2007 Taco that I bought used in '09. It was in mint shape when I picked her up, with low mileage. I travel a lot for work so she was parked half the time. Couple big road trips but mostly city driving, cold weather. Over 73K miles, I have replaced the brakes, tires, battery, spark plugs.

    I'm a little more settled now and drive a lot more, so taking a renewed interest in my baby. I have a haynes manual which I will try to follow. But was wondering if there were some other issues that are worth bearing in mind?

    Sub'd for recommendations...

    I have an '08... 85xxx mi...I bought brand new in '08. Changed plugs at 60k, regular oil changes, trans service about 6 months ago and regular diff service. ( running bigger tires so I had trans service done early.)

    So far just following toyotas recommendations and using best judgment.

    Same as everybody else...
    I'm in the same boat. I bought a 09 Prerunner in 2015 with about 56k on her. If the Carfax and Tacoma Owners website are correct the previous owner followed the scheduled maintenance program to the letter. So far I have changed out the ATF, diff fluid, brake fluid flush as well as regular oil changes every 5K with full synthetic. I'm getting new plugs in her next week at the dealer and she also had the rear spring recall done. So far no major issues with her at all but I keep reading about wheel bearing issues so I'm planning on that.
