    Hello Folks,

    Just bought myself a supreme 2013 taco with 170k miles. I want to replace the fuel filter on it but cant find any good materials on how to do so. Some articles say its under the drivers door, others say its located under the intake manifold? Any help would be appreciated!

    It’s in the gas tank.
    I’d leave it alone until I had reason to replace it.

    ^^^^^ What he said. It is part of the pump/sender assembly in the tank.
    So replacement would involve dropping the tank or removing the bed.

    Curious why you think it needs a new filter?

    Dang, That doesn't seem like a very good idea.

    170k miles is good enough reason to replace the filter. When the OEM Australian standard is around ~30K. Since theirs is a much easier serviceable part.
