| Check all the fluids, if you don't know when the oil was changed last change it, check the air in all the tires, I wouldn't replace the belts unless they looked all cracked and old, might get some new ones and keep them in the toolbox though, get a spare altenator and put it with the spare belts, and carry a toolbox with atleast enough tools to change either. Most trucks come standard with at least 2 back-up cameras mounted just outside either door. I spent a week getting mine ready to go , but I had to find a couple of air leaks and put a headache rack on |

Didn't you mean to say "DO NOT come standard"? I have yet to see ANY on all the trucks I've ever looked at.
