Default 06 with 76k. What do I need to service?

Just got a 06 1500 Reg cab 4x4 4.7 with 76k this month from Carmax. The vehicle looks to be in great shape but there are no maintenance records. I know the oil was changed when I got it, but other than that I have no clue. What would you guys change or check? I am going to go to synthetic fluids on the next change. Anything else?
