    Hey Everyone,
    Looking for a repair manual for my Taco but only found 2 aftermarket manuals one from Haynes and the other from Chilton both stop at 2018 model year and nothing after and I'm concerned the 2018 manual won't be informative enough for my model year. I want to do some electrical mods but don't want to risk damaging my main wire harness. Any and all ideas welcomed.

    As stated, there isn’t anything you can buy besides a subscription to TIS. The free resources floating around are pretty much for 2016s, but they have been spot on accurate for my 2021. I haven’t needed any help on any later-year-only features like radar cruise or similar, so the 2016 manual has been good for me. The worst part about it is it’s 11,500 pages, my phone hates opening it, and it can be hard to find stuff in there. But often, whatever I need is there.

    Check out this link. It does say through 2018, but take a look and see what you think.

    I do miss the old days when Toyota sold thick paper service manuals specific for your year.

    OK, thank you. I'm going to take a look at the link. Would you know if there is a way to convert my 2021 SR5 V6 from bulbs to LED mode without causing an issue with the truck. I'm asking cause I had an issue after I replaced my battery the truck. the truck started to throw codes and the vehicle won't go passed 5 miles an hour.
