Your Toyota Tacoma is built to handle the hard jobs. It’s a powerful pickup truck that can withstand virtually anything. However, even the most formidable vehicles need regular maintenance to perform at their best, and the Tacoma is no different.
With that being said, it’s important to know when to service your Toyota in Palm Coast, Daytona Beach, and DeLand, FL, which is why The SmartLots put this Toyota Tacoma maintenance guide together. Here, you’ll learn what services your truck will need, when to have it serviced, and more.
Like a sedan or SUV, there are some common services your Tacoma will need to keep going. These services include oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections, battery inspections, and fluid inspections. It’s recommended that you have these services performed every 5,000 miles depending on your driving style.
Our service center features a team of factory-trained technicians who can easily take care of these services and then some. Best of all, they’ll use genuine OEM Toyota parts designed by the manufacturer specifically for your vehicle.
Your Tacoma’s maintenance schedule will be outlined in 5,000-mile intervals. Mileage is used as a metric to determine when service is needed because it is often a better indicator as to when parts and fluids will wear to the point of needing service.
As you know, the 5,000-mile mark will require oil changes, tire rotations, etc. You should expect to have those services performed at each service visit.
At the 15,000-mile mark, you’ll re-torque the propeller shaft bolt, inspect the ball joints and dust covers, brake lines and hoses, drive shaft boots for 4WD vehicles, engine coolant, exhaust pipes and mountings, front differential oil for 4WD models, interior coolant, radiator, rear differential oil, steering gear, and steering linkage and boots.
Once you hit 30,000 miles, you can expect all routine maintenance to be performed, as well as many of the above inspections. Additionally, you’ll have the automatic transmission fluid, cooler hoses, and connections checked, as well as the brake linings and drum or brake pads, fuel lines and connections, radiator, and transfer case oil inspected.
There are many reasons you’ll want to keep up with regular service for your Toyota Tacoma. Having routine maintenance and repairs performed when the need arises can go a long way to prolonging your vehicle’s life, and greatly increases the chances you won’t need expensive repairs down the line.
These services will also ensure the safety of you, your passengers, and your vehicle. Delaying these services can be dangerous. For example, if you go a while without an oil change and your engine begins to overheat, it can impact other components under the hood and lead to expensive repairs, the engine catching fire, etc.
Our technicians can quickly access your Tacoma’s maintenance history and schedule, so they’ll know exactly what it needs if you visit our service center.
