I know the timing belt on my 2001 V6 is to be changed at 90,000 miles. On the 2.7 4 cyl. it has a timing chain and probably never needs changing.
70,000 is not a big tune up time, probably just an oil change. If you missed the 60,000 mile tune up let me know and I'll give you what you need to do. Also, post your engine size.

For 60,000 you will need this:
Recommended Services:
Replace engine oil and oil filter
Rotate tires
Replace engine coolant
Replace engine air filter
Replace non-platinum spark plugs (Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner)
Re-torque propeller shaft bolt (all models)
Lubricate propeller shaft (all 4WD)
and optional items are:
Additional Inspection Items:
Transmission fluid or oil
Rear differential oil
Inspect nuts and bolts on chassis and body
Replace front differential oil(4WD)
Additional maintenance items
for special operating conditions:
Inspect ball joints and dust covers
Inspect drive shaft boots (all 4WD models and 2WD)
Inspect front differential oil
Inspect transfer case oil (4WD models)
Inspect steering wheel, linkage and boots
Inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
Inspect brake lines and hoses
Inspect exhaust pipes and mountings
Inspect steering gear box
Inspect fuel lines and connections, fuel tank band and fuel tank vapor vent system hoses
Inspect fuel tank cap gasket
Inspect transmission fluid or oil
Inspect engine valve clearance
Charcoal canister
Rear differential oil (all models)
They are probably going to recommend changing transmission fluid and differential oil. Also they might recommend cleaning the fuel injectors. I would say the tune-up would cost $250 to over $600, so be sure to specify what you need done. I love that special operating conditions, which to me means it is not on Toyota's service list, but we will try to sell it to you. I would probably get the rear & front differential oil changed and probably the transmission oil changed along with the basics. But, of course you can really go hog wild.
