Toyota Tacoma Maintenance Schedule

There’s a lot to love about driving a Toyota Tacoma on the Thomasville roads! This stylish pickup boasts powerful performance specs, a roomy interior cabin, tough capabilities, and plenty of advanced features inside and out. Whether you’re making the daily commute, hauling cargo to and from a worksite, or going on a long-distance adventure, the Tacoma is more than up to the challenge!

The best way to keep your Toyota Tacoma running in the best condition possible is to bring it in for regular service appointments. While your owner’s manual will have more specifics, Toyota generally sticks to service intervals of 5,000 miles—that’s around 5 months of drive time if the Tacoma is your daily driver. The service team at Valdosta Toyota has more details on the Toyota Tacoma oil change intervals and service schedule in the guide below. 

Standard Toyota Tacoma Service Schedule
