Default 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).
  • 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

I am by no means a guru on trucks, so I'm sure I missed something obvious. Please enlighten me, thanks!

You can register your vehicle on the Ford owner website. It has all the factory documentation, and maintenance schedules.
