New Toyota owner here!

Hey y'all. I recently went to my local Toyota dealer and got myself a 2017 Tacoma. So far im digging it,love it. I had trucks growing up than did a dumb move and got myself a Hyundai Elantra but Im back on the truck grind. Im also looking for some advice/guidance. When should I get the oil changed,every 5K miles? What kind of mods are cheap but good mods to do? So far all I have done was add a bed cover. Also when my 2yr/25K maintenance warranty expires,how much am I looking at to spend roughly when I have to bring my truck in for those maintenance inspections and such? Oil changes and basic easy stuff I'll be doing myself once the warranty is done with. Here are some pictures of her also.

 

Nice truck!

This thread recently popped up. I haven’t looked at it but the title seems like what you are looking for!

I do every 5k on oil. Some people say you can go to ten. But I’m old and moving from 3k to 5k was hard.

 

Awesome Thank you! and she is a beauty Im loving her lol

 

welcome. check my signature and my youtube channel for my cheap mods to my not so cheap mods.

 

I did the 3k thing then hadn't changed my old ford truck oil in almost 2 years and nothing happened, ran perfectly fine. I now do mine every 10k.

Same thing with the old truck transmission fluid, hadnt changed it in maybe 10 years, still ran like a clock.

 

Sharp Truck! She’s going to keep you happy for a long time!

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks everyone! I'll never go back to a car. This truck is great

 

My last vehicle was an Elantra too. Thanks to the driver who decided to make a right turn from the far left lane right in to me. Now I too have a TACO

 

Thats a MEAN looking truck. How did you install those small amber lights in the grill,or did that come from the dealer?

 

I did them myself.

 

Im going to have to look into that

 

Got the led's from Amazon. Insure you buy the good ones. About $7.00 each
