However, if the vehicle is operated in severe conditions, such as frequent towing or off-road driving, the transmission fluid should be changed more often.
Severe conditions include:
* Towing a trailer or hauling heavy loads
* Driving in dusty or muddy conditions
* Off-road driving
* Frequent stop-and-go driving
* Driving in extreme temperatures
If you are not sure whether or not your Tacoma is operated in severe conditions, it is best to err on the side of caution and change the transmission fluid more often.
