    First post but I am a long time troller of this forum.

    My 2015 tacoma recently hit 75,000 and the only service I have ever done was changing the motor oil every 5,000 miles, air filters, front brake pads, and the tires once.

    There are a few signs more work may be required:
    1. The transmission jerks a bit going into fifth sometimes but doesn't slip.
    2. The steering wheel shakes when driving straight sometimes, like the rotors are warped. Tires are balanced and truck was aligned and it still does it?
    3. When the truck is a little twisted or going over bumps, I have some creaks. Reminds me of the bad body bushings in my old Dakota.
    4. The vvti ticks quite loud sometimes.
    5. My gas mileage sucks around 13 mpg. I have the topper and tools in the back though.
    After writing this I feel like I am neglecting my truck! But my 2004 4runner did great with the same maintenance until a deer totaled it at 175,000.

    Any advice on must do maintenance is appreciated!

    What does your owners manual say is due at 75,000 miles

    Thanks guys! Not sure why I didn't think about the owner's manual?

    So, what is the best way to handle this? If I go to Toyota and tell them I missed all the maintenance, I see at least 5 things needed that is probably going to cost over $1000 total.

    Would a private shop do as good, or is this something I should really use Toyota for?

    Also, is there any risk that after changing transmission, diff fluid, transfer case oil etc, things might be worse?

    I'm not seeing the tranny flush in the manual? I was also thinking this was needed though.
