The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Because this 1996 Toyota 4Runner factory service and repair manual is keyed to the exact year, engine and trim sitting in your driveway, whether that is the 2.7L four (3RZ-FE) or the 3.4L V6 (5VZ-FE), the specifications and tightening sequences it lists are the ones Toyota published for that truck rather than numbers carried across from an adjacent model year.

Engines

  • 3.4L 3378CC V6 GAS Naturally Aspirated

  • Base, Automatic

Known issues on the 1996 4Runner. One recall is on federal record for this model year, filed under exterior lighting and covering aftermarket lamp assemblies rather than the truck as built: SaberSport recalled 16,270 combination corner and bumper lamp assemblies of various part numbers, sold for use as aftermarket equipment for various passenger vehicles, with decreased lighting visibility that may result in a vehicle crash as the consequence on record. Owners have filed 92 complaints for the year, and 15 technical service bulletins are on record for it.

Whether the job is a lighting-circuit check, one of the faults owners keep logging, or a routine service interval on the 3.4L V6, this manual holds you to Toyota's own procedure and the specification that belongs to this 1996 4Runner.
