Should I change fuilds?

I recently bought a 2004 F-150 Lariet 4x4 (5.4) with 77K miles. Should I be changing fluids or just wait until the 100K mark? I don't believe it was off-roaded or driven hard.

Most fluids are serviced/inspected at 5,000 mile intervals. As a precaution I always assume that the service was NOT done and change the fluid at the last recommended interval. Say 75,000. This goes with filters too. A couple hundred dollars on service items is a small price to pay compared to your recent purchase.
I would like to think everyone takes care of their cars or trucks, but we know most owners do not.

Look through your service log for required service items(75,000 miles).

An ounce of prevention...............
