Hi everyone

I am new to this forum

I have a 2003 Tacoma PreRunner 4-Cylinder 4x2 which just hit the 100k mile mark on the odometer. I am planning to take it in for a service soon and wish to find out what services must be done on the truck.

From top of my head...
1. Tranny Fluid Flush
2. Brake Fluid Flush
3. Radiator Fluid Flush..

Anything else?

Thanks!

Power steering and differential fluids if you haven't done so.
Check the rear brakes. Might be worn if you haul a lot. Fuel filter if you want to.

Additional Maintenance Items for Special Operating Conditions:

__ Drive shaft boots (Highlander, Land Cruiser, RAV4, 4WD Sequoia, 4WD Tacoma, 4WD Tundra, 4WD 4Runner)
__ Engine air filter
__ Nuts and bolts on chassis and body
__ Steering linkage and boots

❑ Lubricate propeller shaft (all 4WD except Highlander and RAV4)

thanks, guys!!

that was really helpful. I think a major service includes most of the things mentioned above and costs about $400. Is this reasonable?
