    Just wondering has anyone been able to order a factory repair manual for the 2017's yet ? I really want one. But the newest ones I am able to find online are from 2013. Thanks for the info.

    throw a few tools (I actually gave that up last year)
    take time out (actually wifey gives the time out sign) - received.
    read manual and then fix truck properly!

    Yeah that would be worth $600, you could read it in you spare time for entertainment.
    But really, having the file and free is pretty cool- thanks again to @over60

    I do not think Repair manuals for new vehicles are printed by Chiltons etc.anymore . They seem to want people to pay for an online subscription now a days. Correct me if I am wrong .

    No idea, but Haynes and Chilton are the same company I think. I would guess a 3rd gen Tacoma from them is in the works.
    I would buy one if they do publish it.

    Hey @boynoyce, When looking in that 12,000 pg manual....there is a "bookmark" icon on the left side that will bring up an index, although not all that useful, it does help some..!

    I also wish there was a real INDEX for that file..!

    You can search Keywords by using the spyglass feature, but it searches and stops at each and every keyword and you have to go again... 12000 pgs is a lot of search time and I do not find it useful.
