Checklist for New (Used) Truck
So I'm fairly new here, but I picked up my F150 King Ranch Saturday. It was a ridiculous price for a 2010 with 38900 miles on, so I immediately took it to a mechanic to have it inspected. Other than the typical maintenance stuff, he couldn't find anything wrong with it.
So now that I bought it, I'm making a list of things that I need to do with the truck (from my once-over, it seemed the previous owner neglected some maintenance on it).
I am by no means a guru on trucks, so I'm sure I missed something obvious. Please enlighten me, thanks!

- Oil change (dealer claims that was done already, but it wouldn't hurt just for a reset)
- Coolant flush
- Replace brakes (visually inspected, this is due)
- Replace/clean battery terminals (has corroded terminals)
- Top off fluids (nothing is below safe level, but beginning to push it)
- Replace filters
- Check belt for excessive wear
