    OP.....Find the 100 Kmiles maintenance list. Perform all of that work. It sounds like a big task, just take it in steps. This essentially allows you to become familiar with the overall condition of the truck and "zeros" the maintenance schedule.

    Interesting comments on the Fumoto valve making oil changes tool-less....I don't believe. How do you remove the oil filter without a tool? A pet gorilla?

    doesn't everyone have a pet gorilla to remove their oil filters...LOL.

    Welcome to TW OP. Doing your own service on your vehicle is rewarding and will save you money, vs. taking it to a stealership to have it done. You can find all the how to's these days right here on TW. Everything really quite simple.

    uhhhh, our oil filters point downwards and are drained after sitting all night. And it’s only on 1/4 turn after being snug. Fumoto valve allows for no tools needed, no dirty hands, you just drain the oil into a gallon milk jug and bring it to autozone for disposal.

    it’s always skeptics that have never used it.... how else can I educate you?

    I've had my Access cab 6 months now. Weathertech floor mats were the first thing I added. A bed mat is on order. Scouring craiglist for a Softopper. I got the truck partly as a camping vehicle for some extra curriculars and am getting a little old to sleep on the ground.
