    Bought this new in October 2019 and this 100K came up fast.
    (Yeah...I drive the shyte out of this baby.)
    90% highway and city driving. To and from job sites or long trips.
    Trailers once in while. No serious off-roading and abuse of course.

    Just curious what you cats suggest for any parts and pieces I need to check or replace now?
    Believe it not...I have the original brake pads and rotors.
    Plugs? Serpentine?....ideas?
    Only thing that's been a nuisance is this damned TSS sensor as you all know seems pretty common.

    Wow, Tony, that’s a heap of miles!
    The answer to your question starts in the manual where service intervals are all specified. Here’s a couple questions for you to answer, for us, if you want suggestions, or for yourself to help move on;
    1) Have all required services been done at recommendation intervals so far?
    (Fluid changes etc)
    2) have you been getting service done at the dealership, how’s your experience been?
    3) are you a good home mechanic, semi pro, or not interested?
    4) if you have been getting service done at an independent shop, how has that been?

    I passed 110K on my 2018 1794 Edition this October. I've had it for almost three years. I changed my Denso spark plugs SK20HR11 early (due at 120K). Bought them from the Toyota Dealer (don't trust other vendors). I got my serpentine belt from Toyota Dealer, a Dayco 89378 Belt Tensioner and a Dayco 89502 Idler/Tensioner Pulley (both from Amazon) much cheaper than from Toyota and its the exact same item (way more expensive from Dealer). I changed the battery too, got a Duralast Gold from Advance Auto / way cheaper than the Dealer. When you buy a battery, always check the date on it, it should be fresh like the month you buy it or last month. Best to change these items earlier than later. Some guys mentioned they waited until the belt made a noise or the engine is acting funny but thats up to them. Here soon, I'm changing the Power Steering fluid, Radiator fluid, Brake fluid, front / rear and transaxle fluids. Still debating when to change the transmission fluid. Some what like you, I do a lot of highway driving and I work 60 miles from home, so yeah mileage adds up.
    I changed the tires from 275/55/20 to 275/60/20 Michelin Defender LTX. Much softer and quiet ride.

    Great info guys.
    I have changed the oil and checked all fluids at the 5K intervals. There's a Toyota mechanic literally stones throw from my office so its been handy. Waltz over...drop off keys...come back later for it. I'm on my second set of tires now. So winter driving is ready. Same tires as you Fuguchan!
    I'll peruse the manual for any other items or ask my mechanic what he thinks. He actually owns a Tundra too.

    Totally agree with this. Other than obvious fluids, etc. the serpentine belt, tensioner and idler pulley and battery (if original) are the ones I'd do as preventive maintenance.
    I also did diff fluid, cabin filter, wipers, a OEM brake pads F/R right at 100k in mine, but it took me 5 years of use to get there so my stuff was probably more worn than your quick 100k hwy miles.

    I like to throw in new thermostats every 3 years, batteries 3-4 yrs. To me both are cheap insurance for any vehicle. 100k, I am doing ball joints, u joints, coolant and heater hoses, on top of many things already mentioned in other posts above. For me wheel bearings would be right around the corner 120 140k too.

    Probably change out the brake pads and be proactive. Any suggestions for mfr's to use and stay away from?

    Yeah, I ran into that on my 2011 Tacoma. Every service advisor I called at 3 dealerships told me nobody replaced that fluid because it's considered "lifetime". I flat out told them I do and to flush it.

    way to go on the miles!

    the maintenance I would do would depend on the vehicle's future.

    If you are planning on continuing putting tremendous miles on the truck:

    all hoses...ALL...hoses. On Tundra this is a massive task.
    Belt and tensioner
    Change all fluids including P/S and brake.
    Brake bleed and flush.
    pull and inspect brake caliper pins for scoring or gouging. clean off and lube with caliper pin grease. Inspect caliper piston seals for cracking.
    Replace thermostat.
    Replace radiator cap
    Inspect radiator seams carefully for early signs of leakage
    Spark plugs.
    Clean throttle body
    replace PCV valve
    Inspect rear axle seals for leaks.
    Inspect parking brake shoes...replace if necessary
    Test charging system

    On transmission service I would do a drain and refill 3-4 times rather than a flush. It is easier on the system and gets you a virtually complete exchange of fluid. Then change the filter/screen inside pan.


    If the truck is going to see less severe duty schedule

    change all fluids including a complete replacement of transmission fluid.
    inspect spark plugs and coils
    replace radiator cap
    brake service and inspection as above
    replace pcv
    test charging system
    clean throttle body

    This statement may have been true up until 3 years ago based upon what I've been reading around here.
    See? If what I'm reading is correct and the cooler delete is a result of corporate bean counting then what else have they molested? Anyone with a 19+ is boned from what I gather... built just well enough to make it out of warranty and then the nickel and dime shenanigans begin.

    OP has not responded yet. So i don't want to make conclusions right away. not a lot of 2019+ with high miles especially towing. I don't tow, i use my truck for play and long road trips. mainly sits on the driveway 4-5 days a week.

    Nope!

    Screwed. Duped. Hoodwinked. Huckstered. Gypped ( I can say that... I'm Hungarian).

    I'm waiting for Ford to release the suppercharged V8 Raptor then I'm trading before my trangsmission collapses upon itself like a neutron star.
