Since it's new, I'd start with a basic tune up (plugs, wires, cap, rotor, air filter, fuel injector cleaner, oil change, ground and battery terminal refreshment). Maybe some other fluids too - coolant, differentials, transfer case, transmission

Might as well do some testing too - compression, fuel pressure, battery load test, alternator test, see if there are any stored codes, etc. etc.
