    For what it's worth I have a 16 OR MT. I changed the spark plugs for the first time in the vehicles history being the second owner @88k miles. My plugs we're dirty but nothing like I've seen around here. All of them needed some torque to break loose. So, no issues here :bananadance:

    Stock wheels and suspension. Random "utilitarian" mods featured on this great forum.
    Just checked all mine, all at click-click lb-ft (13 or 156 lb-in). Mine must've been put together on a Tuesday or at least got spot checked. That first coil on the drivers side is a pain to get at, more pain to torque. Others are very doable without removing almost anything. Won't be a bad job when the time comes.

    "Tuesday" build here too. :) Checked all mine at 24.5K (2021 TRD OR). No surprises. Went ahead replaced w/ new spark plugs OEM - Denso (3491) FK20HBR8 since I was in there. Engine noise seems slightly quieter and "tighter", if you will. No regrets changing them out.
