    Does the 2021 extended cab have grease fittings on the drive shafts, front and rear?
    My 2007 had grease fittings.
    I have trouble laying under the truck, I get dizzy and nauseated. Took my 2007 to Pennzoil for driveshaft lubrication

    2017’s like mine had only 1 zirk, it is on the rear of the front driveshaft.

    Not sure when they got rid of the last zirk, but I have to argue with the dealer service whenever it’s a new person because every time I ask them to do it they insist that my truck doesn’t have them. If you’re worried about it you can change out the joints and get some with zerks on them, but it might not be worth it.

    Nothing on rear shaft on 3rd gen, front did but pretty they got rid of that in 20, or 21. My 18 has one on front drive shaft. Someone may correct me on 20 and up.

    2019 was the last year. My old 2019 TRD had zerks on the front half of the driveshaft before the transfer case. There were two - one in each joint. I believe Toyota completely sealed the drivelines in 2020.
