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.

Fitment for the 2018 Toyota Highlander is pinned to the exact year, engine and trim you own, which matters on a line that shipped three very different powerplants that season: the hybrid 3.5L V6 (2GR-FXS), the gasoline 3.5L V6 (2GR-FKS) and the 2.7L four-cylinder (1AR-FE). Every clearance, torque figure and tightening sequence is the one Toyota published for that combination, not a value carried over from a sibling engine or an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2018 Highlander. Three recalls are on federal record for this model year. One did not come from Toyota at all: Fujian Wanda Automobile Glass Industry recalled aftermarket replacement windshields sold for use in 2014-2018 Highlander vehicles, filed under the electrical system, where ECM damage may result in the engine stalling, increasing the risk of a crash. The other two are Toyota campaigns on the gasoline fuel pump: one covers certain 2018-2019 Highlanders alongside other Toyota and Lexus models, the other certain 2017-2019 Highlanders alongside other Toyota models. On both, if the fuel pump fails, the engine can stall while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 336 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 138 technical service bulletins.

From separating a fuel-pump stall from an ECM fault to a scheduled service on the hybrid V6 or the 2.7L four, the manual keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the right specification for this exact 2018 Highlander.
