    I would change the coolant. All your other fluids should be good until 50k.

    If you're bored (like I was when I got my 2015 SR5 in 2018), you could change the front and rear differentials and the transfer case fluids.
    I did mine at about your same mileage.
    Easy to do at home and gets any preliminary metal shavings out of the system.
    Peace of mind maintenance.

    No front diff or t-case since you’re 2WD but I would change the rear diff oil. You’ll find a good amount of metallic paste on the magnet. I’d also consider a drain and fill on the transmission if there is any indication the truck was used to tow or haul.
    Air filter?
    Cabin filter?

    Order a fumoto valve for your next oil change if you’ll be doing your own maintenance.

    thanks AZBoatHauler
    Truck only used for my part time Dj business and weekend.
    I’ll do my rear diff oil this year and probably wait for 10 years for my transmission drain and fill
    Or just wait like a 12 or 15 years? No towing or haul

    According to Toyota, the ATF is good for life if you’re not towing, hauling, or using off-road. Most people on here still think you should change it at some point if you plan on keeping the truck long term. New transmission will run $7-8k. Drain and fill costs about $40 to do in the driveway. I swap out 4 quarts every 25-30k miles.
