Quick update: When a user (like me) buys a subscription, the "blue info boxes" link to the user's personal information for some reason. I prefer to stay anonymous as possible because I'm not looking for financial compensation or public notoriety. As far as the which years this manual covers, technically, it just covers 2016, technically speaking. The way it works is, each and every component of a Toyota vehicle has its own, individual "service life". These services lives are independent of all other components and vary each year. Most component service lives usually last *around* 4 years, some stick around for a decade. Generally, the more crucial a component is (drive line components being very crucial) last longer. If you notice the dates listed at the top of each page of this service manual, it's almost always a range of years. As long as the component(s) you're dealing with falls within this range, you have nothing to worry about. If you have an older or newer vehicle that does NOT fall within these respective ranges, you're kind of in no-man's land. These parts don't vary drastically, so realistically, as long as you use common sense and have a little mechanical prowess, you'll be fine. If not, go spend $25 and download w/ever pages you need to get the job done..... like a man lol. Although I didn't explicitly say this in this post, a big part of the reason for posting this in the first place was to help people break away from *ONLY* relying on what our "authorities" want us to be able to do. Seriously? How much blood, sweat and tears did you spend on your 4Runner? A hunk of metal with wheels. Almost everything in this guide came from the works of other peoples' hard work. Take that stick and start drawing your very own line in the sand. This guide alone won't be enough to keep your vehicle road worthy for 30 years. This is merely a starting point and a template to get you *COMFORTABLE* enough to take care of *YOUR* vehicle, on your own terms. Thank the guys behind you, grab that baton and run your race. 'Nuf said.
