    Howdy Y'all,

    I do all my own work on my 2021 Tacoma SR 3.5L 4WD, I just hit 50,000 miles. All I've ever changed up to this point is my oil/oil filter (every 5000 miles) and air filters, now that I'm at 50,000 is there any other fluid I should be changing out or general maintenance I should be keeping up with?

    The one who dies with the most stuff wins.
    I do both differentials, transfer case, and transmission every 36-50k but I’m rough on my truck between towing and off roading through deep water crossings. I did my coolant at 66k but the book is 100k. Spark plugs too you could do if you wanted to do more work, but definitely not needed yet.

    Search for the "3rd Gen maintenance map."

    60k is going to be the big one. I would start budgeting and stocking up on fluids/filters/plugs/socket extensions as that one approaches, and be thankful that it's only at 50k today. Other people prefer to split it up and do some things early.

    I chose to wait and do it all at 60. I made a nice weekend out of it, with a full supply of coffee for the AM work and beer for the PM.
