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.

This is the factory service and repair manual for the 2016 Toyota Tacoma, tied to a single model year, engine and trim, so the figures in it are the ones Toyota published for your truck — the 3.5L V6 (2GR-FKS) or the 2.7L four-cylinder (2TR-FE), in the cab and trim you actually own — and not a value carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2016 Tacoma. Four recalls sit on the federal record for this model year. One covers the rear differential: oil may leak from the area where the rear differential carrier is assembled to the rear axle housing, and the recall warns against operating the vehicle with an insufficient amount of oil in the rear differential. A second covers the driver's knee air bag on trucks built between August 20, 2015 and September 10, 2015, which received incorrect bolts; those bolts may loosen over time and affect the performance of the driver's knee air bag. A third applies to accessory hood scoops installed by Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC or its dealers on 2011-2016 Tacoma and 4Runner vehicles and concerns the adhesive attaching them; if the hood scoop detaches, it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. The fourth concerns the engine on six-cylinder trucks and their crank position sensor; an engine stall may increase the risk of a crash. Owners have submitted 416 complaints for this model year, and Toyota has issued 236 technical service bulletins.

Whether you are tracing a rear axle oil leak, chasing a stall back to the crank position sensor, or checking the knee air bag mounting, it keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the right figure for your specific 2016 Tacoma.
