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.

Every figure in this factory service and repair manual was written for the 2018 Toyota 4Runner as Toyota built it, from the 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) under the hood to the hardware that separates one trim from the next, so a clearance, a torque value or a tightening sequence you look up here is the one that applies to your truck rather than a figure carried over from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2018 4Runner. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first, from Southeast Toyota Distributors, covers steering and suspension components that may not have been properly tightened during installation on certain 2018-2019 4Runners; loose fasteners may cause a loss of vehicle control. The second covers the gasoline fuel pump: if the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 77 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 102 technical service bulletins.

Chasing a stall back to the fuel delivery circuit, re-checking steering and suspension fastener torque after a repair, or working through a scheduled interval, each job lands on Toyota's own procedure and the specification published for the 2018 4Runner.
