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.

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.

Item as described quick delivery

This 2013 Nissan Frontier factory service and repair manual is built around the exact engine and trim on your truck, so the torque values, wiring routes and diagnostic steps inside are the ones Nissan published for your Frontier and not a generic pickup baseline. It covers both the 4.0L V6 (VQ40DE) and 2.5L I4 (QR25DE) powertrains as fitted from the factory.

Engines covered

  • 4.0L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.5L inline-four (152 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
  • 2.4L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Body styles covered

  • 4-door crew cab pickup
  • 4-door extended cab pickup

Trims covered

  • Desert Runner
  • LE
  • PRO-4X
  • S
  • SL
  • SV
  • XE

Known issues on the 2013 Frontier. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the wiring and fuses: a circuit breaker installed incorrectly can leave the main wire harness facing outward against a metal bolt on the A-pillar, and the bolt can wear through the harness covering and cause an electrical short that could cause a fire. Owners have filed 48 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that wiring system are here.

Whether you are tracing a harness fault at the A-pillar or working through routine service on either powertrain, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2013 Frontier.
