Fluids, capacities & service intervals

A 6th gen is new enough that 'baseline' mostly means confirming the dealer did what the warranty schedule asks and catching up the severe-service items Toyota lists for dusty roads, towing and roof loads. Check that the front-brake squeal TSB (now T-SB-0006-26) and any campaigns are closed out, then do the driveline fluids if the truck has seen dirt.
