Dealer didn't change plugs at 60K?

Love my '04 V8 T4R, and just turned 72,000 miles. I got to thinking that it has sure been a low-cost truck and began wondering about scheduled maint. The dealer has done most of the oil changes, and specifically did the 15, 30, 45 & 60,000 mile service. Looking at the 60K one, they changed various air filters (cabin & engine air), but that's all they did.

I see the plugs should be changed at 60K and they obviously didn't do that. I've had the brakes replaced and tires, but that's about all. Anything else I should worry about they didn't do?

I guess the coolant doesn't need to be changed?

TIA!

You can go here http://smg.toyotapartsandservice.com/index.php and plug in the info, it'll display exactly what needs to be done.

The V8 has long-life plugs (120k I think) and a long-life anti-freeze that's typically replaced when the timing belt is done at 90k.

As you read down the list be sure to scroll down and read the notes. IMHO you're doing your T4R a favor if you treat like you tow. (I think they have you change the axle/t-case fluid too often in towing notes; especially if you opt for synthetic.)

The other thing to keep in mind is the calander. You may run against the age limit before the mileage limits.

Thanks, though I'm still not sure. On the link you provided, it lists plugs at 60K with a footnote that says "required under the terms of the emission control warranty."

Huh?

No its 120k as he stated. Period.
 
That is wierd... If you select '03, '05, '06 or '07 (I just looked at them) there's specific mention of the 1GRFE engine. For some reason the webmaster/proof-reader missed the note for the 04.
