    My '11 Taco has only 67K miles on it. I'm retired & don't drive it much with 5 other vehicles, also. Besides, oil changes & replacing the air filter (beyond tires & batteries), I haven't done anything to it, except drive it. I have a '97 Caravan with 130K miles on the original brakes, so I am not hard on brakes.
    Is there anything that I should be doing now at 67K miles?

    thanks...

    Would be a good idea to change all the fluids being its over 10 years old.

    I feel you, I have an 09 with 76k. Spark plugs are every 30k (4.0L). Probably good idea to replace coolant, other fluids too as mentioned above but I think coolant before differential/ transfer case. If you have the limited slip I think rear axle oil is due every 30k. Also cabin filter behind glove box.

    ATF, brake, and PS flush.
    Replace diff fluid, and front and transfer case if so equipped.
    Replace plugs.
    Check front brake pads for wear.
    Check belts and hoses for cracks.
    Check/lube u-joints.
    Check coolant protection level with one of them cheap kits. Toyota recommends replacing coolant at 100K, but with 11 years on it, may be a good idea to just replace it. Coolant does deteriorate with age.

    I agree with, as well as doing the plugs.
    I’d also recommend a transmission drain and fill at a minimum if it’s an Automatic.
