3rd Gen Tacoma Service Manual (huge PDF...)

[Mods, please move/del if post is not acceptable]

Google just found me a full(ish) copy of the 3rd gen Tacoma service manual. The issue might be that it is hosted in a "competitor's" forum. I did not need to create an account or log in. Looks like it has been available for a year now. Takes a while to download; suggest you not use a mobile phone due to the size and how slow it will be to view with the small memory of your device. Props to whomever took the time to piece this thing together...

now tell me where the service schedule is in there I cant find it

 

You mean like this? https://www.toyota.com/owners/parts-service/maintenance-schedule

 

yeah that's garbage. Why isn't there a sheet in the manual that literally has it spelled out through 100k miles etc like every other manual ive ever seen

 

That file is a BEAST, thank you for providing this!

 

There’s an entire 64pg Maintenance book in your owners packet in the glove box which is in addition to your Manual. If you spent the same time researching as you do complaining about it across multiple threads you probably would have found it by now.

 

Or I can wait for a reply like this.. thanks Hun

 

Thanks! I don't care what they say about you, your alright!

That's what I am talking about! I didn't get one of those bad boys. Gonna download that one!

 

My hardcopy owner's manual and maintenance booklet are still in shrinkwrap lol. PDF is better because it's searchable.

 

Hey, gotta help the helpless where I can

 

Mods can this be added as a sticky?

Or better, added to the 3rd gen DIY maintenance section

Edit: they already got one for the maintenance section

 

That's a long manual

 

This is a beast... took me 20 mins to get it downloaded and open on my computer, and its no potato.

 

No kidding! I thought some of the stuff I use at work was bad at 1100-1200 pages

Out of curiosity does anyone know if anything like this exists for 2nd gen trucks? In all my internet travels I've seen plenty of helpful excerpts, but never a single high quality document.

 

I know the file has a beastly 11292 pages, but it is only 241mb. It took around 5 minutes on LTE+ and opened instantly in Adobe.

 

Old thread, but is there an index or table of contents to this thing? Or some kind of insider knowledge on how to locate specific info that I need to learn?

 

The PDF can be searched for keywords easily...

 

Thank you for this, king
