I am looking to purchase a Trail and would like the factory service manual.

Normally I would get one from Helm Inc, but in looking online, they are not available?

Any suggestions? Have they moved online to Toyota?

are you just talking about the book that tells you what fluids to use that came with your owners manual packet?

i think the OP is talking about a full service manual, like a copy of the full digital service manual. I just bought a 2016 and mine definitely did not come with a service manual.
 
There is another option - ALLDATAdiy.com offers yearly/5 year subscriptions on a vehicle specific basis that contain the OEM factory service instructions for much cheaper than Toyota TIS. I'm not sure how good it is, but its a LOT cheaper, and might be good enough for home mechanics. It goes up to 2015 models so far (waiting for my 2016 4runner to show up on the list).

Yeah, I know this is a very old thread, but ALLDATAdiy.com still only goes up to 2015 on Toyota models, and only 2018 on any other model listed.

While there may be very little that's changed with the 5th gen T4Rs (many other Toyota models have been updated in the past 4 years), a site like this that is so far out of date lowers its reliability in my opinion - what else aren't they maintaining?
 
I love my factory repair manuals.
Does anyone know if you can print the manual from TIS?
I like physical copies and killing trees (not really) but would rather get paper greasy than my laptop when working on things.
Basically get a temporary subscription, get a box of paper and work that printer. Not very practical but...

Paper, ink and a day or to clicking away.... I feel like I've read this exact thread before?
