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.

The 2016 Toyota 4Runner is a body-on-frame SUV built around Toyota's 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE), sold that year in Limited, SR5, TRD Pro and Trail form. The service and repair information here is Toyota's own, written to the specifications the manufacturer set for the 2016 model year rather than figures carried over from an adjacent year or a different engine.

Engines

  • 4.0L 4000CC V6 GAS DOHC Naturally Aspirated

Trims

  • Limited
  • SR5
  • TRD Pro
  • Trail

Known issues on the 2016 4Runner. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two are labeling campaigns, one covering an incorrect tire label and the other an incorrect equipment label, where an incorrect label may result in the vehicle being overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash. Two cover the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator module: in one, improper inflation of the passenger air bag may increase the risk of injury; in the other, an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. A fifth covers accessory hood scoops, where if the hood scoop detaches, it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. The sixth covers an accessory roof rack whose fasteners may loosen, allowing the roof rack to detach from the vehicle. Owners have filed 101 complaints with NHTSA for this model year, and 121 technical service bulletins have been issued.

Whether the job is an air bag warning light, an inspection of accessory roof or hood hardware, or a routine service interval, the procedure and the specified figure come from Toyota rather than a generic aftermarket approximation.
