Used tacoma maintenance tips?

So I bought a 2006 trdor double cab prerunner almost a month ago, and I’m wondering what should be replaced or maintained. The truck has a whopping 172,000 miles on it.

We’re scheduling a vehicle check at the local ford dealership that we’ve never had problems with (my family has always owned fords and I’m the one who decided to get a Toyota lol). I would like to know some good advice on things to replace/upgrade from actual Toyota owners.

 

Do you know the service history at all?

 

I got mine with 183k on the clock and now has 191k and without a doubt check the cabin air filter ( so the A/C will blow colder and the heat wont stink) make sure you check for worn seals and bushings in the front end, just replaced a #6 coilpack on my 4.0 due to misfire....definitely a tune up ( unless its been done and have receipts) have the rear diff fluid checked and enjoy having the truck...looks good

 

Sweet

 

If it is auto trans, drain a little fluid on a paper towel and see the condition of it. Less than a red/pink, consider a change. A full flush is debatable at your mileage.

Brake fluid, power steering fluid, differential fluid serpentine belt, mass air flow cleaning and brake fluid are a good start.

 

power steering fluid flush too, very simple procedure

 

ok so not to sound like an idiot but here goes....how do you do a power steering flush?....i've been cruising this site for almost 9 months and i've never done one and this is the first time i seen anything mentioned about it....also i need to do all those things mentioned... i'm the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" type
