    Middle aged guy with middle aged truck in the Fraser Valley, BC… I haven’t looked after myself or my truck as well as I should have, and I’m starting to change that…
    2007 Tundra sr5 with the 5.7 and TRD package.
    310k km and climbing by about 20k per year. I use it for daily driving… tow a boat 1000km/year, a utility trailer every now and then, and load the bed up with a yard of mulch once or twice a year.

    - dealership serviced for entire warranty period (about first five years)
    Since then

    - Synthetic oil changes every 8k-10k
    - 4x4 system oil changes every couple years if they look like they need it
    - all around rotors and pads at about 200k
    - front rotors and pads at about 250k
    - Starter and battery at about 260k
    - the odd headlight bulb here and there
    - cabin and engine air filters whenever it occurred to me to check
    - a set of Michelins every 4 years or so and rotations with oil changes(I live on a hill)
    - a few cans of black spray paint for the hitch and receiver over the year
    - some interior upholstery repairs from having the dog/s riding shotgun
    Still running on original transmission fluid, spark plugs, coil packs, suspension… all things that are about to be addressed for the first time.
    Really not a very good maintenance schedule, but the truck runs, rides and shifts great. It even still even cleans up pretty nice. Really no complaints, and I still love driving it.
    I Might have been the first guy with a 2nd gen in Calgary in 2006, (the domestic truck guys I know thought I was crazy, but have all used up at least one truck in that time. I have never been very tempted to upgrade except maybe for the 2014 model.
    Looking forward to finding info on here as I get some things done, and maybe chiming in here and there.
