    Just got myself a used 2020 Tacoma TRD 4x2 3.5V6 with 37K+miles.

    After picking at the manual for minute, I was left with no answers when it came general maintenance periods for the vital fluids such as transmission and differential fluid.

    Would appreciate Tacoma elders and lore masters listing what I should know to avoid turning my Toyota into a Ford.

    Welcome to the TW , I changed my transmission, transfer case, and front and rear differentials at 30,000 miles. That’s what my mechanic recommends. Private shop, not dealership. Engine oil every 5k

    Very amusing. I left my beloved 2013 F-150 5.0V8 for a reason; the lack of confidence in the AC/evaporator core reliability, or lack thereof.

    Few years ago, paid handsomely to replace the aforementioned component only for it to fail yet again early 2025.

    Funny enough, on that truck I added Raptor style ebay knock offs on it and it failed to evolve like Ash Ketchum's Pikachu.

    To be fair, ashes Pikachu didnt want to evolve.
    Honestly, that never made sense.
