    This is from my dads 2005 6.0 f250, he didn't know there was a fuel filter on the frame and on the engine, so he has only changed the filter on the engine.
    Recommended change interval is 10K (Some say 15K) and this filter went at least 25K, only noticed it because when he would tow after a few miles it would run out of fuel for a few seconds and then get fuel back.

    The Toyota fuel filters are supposedly a life-time filter. I got 280k out of my last one before I changed it just because. diesels are a totally different animal. my uncles truck gets fuel filters every other oil change.
    Never hurts to change them though. and they're not too much money

    Most of the newer Toyotas have the fuel filter in the fuel tank. not easy to replace. Not 100% sure on the newer tacos. but on the 1st gens I know they 3.4l is on the frame rail under the driverside and the 4 cylinders are behind the intake plenum.
