235k on my taco should I change transmission fluid

Looking for advice I am going to pick up a truck camper in about a week and I am not sure on changing tranny fluid as some say dont do it as it could cause problems ...

 

Plenty of resources around here. I've done it. My truck hasn't exploded yet.

 

Auto tranny, right?

The big question will be whether your existing fluid still is the proper color and doesn't smell burned.

 

Did you buy the truck new? Or buy it 2nd hand and not sure if it's been done?

If its never been done, the most I'd do is a drain, clean the filter screen and fill. Do this a couple times to gradually change the fluid and flush out any varnish that's accumulated that could plug up your filter.

Carrying a truck camper will put a higher load on the transmission and the fluid.

But, this topic is one that creates many different opinions. Its all from members personal experience.
