What Should I Do to My 2006 Tacoma 4x4?

I just became the 3rd owner of a 2006 Tacoma 4x4 Double Cab w/131,000 hwy miles. (Purchased as a second vehicle for me). Checked service records at local dealer and 1st owner had regular maintenance performed until she sold it at 98,000. 2nd owner was only able to provide 2 service records for oil changes, but said he had oil changed every 5,000 miles. Truck looks great and drives good too now that I have replaced all tires with a good set of Michelin's. I want to know what others suggest as far a maintenance to set a baseline so I know exactly where I stand under the hood. What fluids need to be changed to start anew; belts that may need to be replaced, complete tune up, etc? Never owned a vehicle with this many miles before, so I want to do all I can to make sure it last me a long time.

 

The safest it to replace everything. drain/refill all fluids. change plugs, inspect belts, inspect all moving parts, etc.

The only thing not worth draining and refilling is your brake fluid, ASSUMING it is in good condition. This means looking at it.

But, in the end it is a Tacoma. Reliable and loyal. If you want bare bones, do an oil change and call it good.

 

Oil change, differential fluid change (front and back), spark plugs, radiator flush, transmission fluid (auto) if not done at 100K.
