    So I just rolled 60K in my '16 and I'm wondering what I need to start looking into as far as upkeep and maintenance beside my normal oil and air filters. I do not have the manual on me at the moment. Thought I'd just start with asking you guys, who have all been there and know these trucks inside and out.

    2WD, all highway

    *Heard a slight clicking the other day when I first turned it on of which my "car guy" father-in-law said is probably a belt. Time to replace it?

    Anyway, just wanted to get your thoughts and what you did. Thanks..!

    You'll probably get all kinds of opinions and suggestions from online forums. Usually it's best to just follow the owners manual. No need to over think it.

    I get it, but I also know some things aren't always needed as soon as it says, depending on your driving style, etc. And I honestly dont trust the dealership enough to just take it in and have them say what it needs. Which is why I do my own oil.

    Anything that it may need that I can do myself?

    Honestly just follow what the owners manual says. You know your driving habits and how hard you drive it. Most of the time the dealership will try to sell you a huge service
    with mostly snake oil.

    That's what I'm afraid of, so it's why I was asking here.

    Now the OP doesn't even have to open his manual. He can just go to the dealer and show the service writer this post and ask to have all that done, nothing else. Nice job!

    I agree with this.

    Plus:
    * rear differential oil/fluid
    * engine air filter
    * cabin air filter
    * spark plugs
    * battery
    * tires

    Reaching 60k miles has nothing to do with the need to replace a battery or tires.

    He asked for items for consideration.

    Lighten up Frances. At least I stopped short of the green Christmas tree air freshener.

    Ha, well just got new tires, so all good there. And change filters pretty regularly.

    Any idea what the Automatic transmission change costs?

    Just trying to correct bad advice, which I knew was coming. That's the reason for stating what I did in my first post.

    I mean tires are obvious when to replace but the OP may have replaced a perfectly good battery based on your suggestion.
