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

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.

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.

Ordering by model year alone is where Tacoma work goes wrong, because the 2006 truck was sold as two quite different machines: a 2.7L four (2TR-FE) and a 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE), offered in two-door, four-door and extra-cab form under the Base, PreRunner and X-Runner names. This factory service and repair manual is matched to your exact 2006 Tacoma year, engine and trim, so the values you set and torque to are the ones Toyota published for that build rather than a close figure carried over from another Tacoma.

Known issues on the 2006 Tacoma. Eight recalls are on federal record for this model year. One covers the frontal air bags: over time, steering wheel vibration may damage the spiral cable assembly, and in the event of a crash the driver's side air bag may not deploy. A second covers the accelerator pedal, which can get stuck in the wide open position; a stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop. A third covers the seat belts, where the seat belt pre-tensioner detaches from the seat belt assembly. Three concern labeling: Toyota recalled vehicles that were not equipped with load carrying capacity modification labels, and incorrect load carrying capacity modification labels could result in the vehicle being overloaded; Southeast Toyota recalled vehicles that failed to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110, tire selection and rims, where a driver may overload a vehicle which may increase the risk of a crash; and Gulf States Toyota recalled vehicles for failing to meet the requirements of that same standard. A seventh covers the front seat heater, whose copper strand heating element may short circuit if damaged, increasing the risk of a fire. The last covers the tires, whose bead may be damaged by improper assembly of the tires onto the wheels, and if the vehicle is operated in that condition a bulge may be formed. Owners have logged 977 complaints for the year and 128 technical service bulletins have been issued. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether the job is an air bag warning traced back to the spiral cable, a seat belt pre-tensioner inspection, or a scheduled service on either engine, this manual holds you to Toyota's own procedure and the figure specified for your 2006 Tacoma.
