Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cover a diesel Surf?

No, and that is the single most important thing to check before you buy. RM887U is the export market manual and it documents the 3.4 litre 5VZ-FE V6 and the 2.7 litre 3RZ-FE petrol four. If your import is one of the diesel Surfs, this manual will not have your engine.

Is the Surf the same vehicle as the 4Runner here?

Yes. Surf was the Japanese market name and 4Runner the export one, which is why the factory manual you are buying carries Toyota publication number RM887U under the 4Runner title.

Which model code should I check for?

VZN180, which is the code named in the manual text. Your chassis plate will confirm whether the truck matches.

Does it help with diagnosis?

It does. There is a Diagnostics section plus troubleshooting tables for each system, and the manual sets out how to work through them before you begin.

Can I search the text?

Yes, all 2,152 pages carry a text layer, so you can type a code or a component name and jump to it.

How soon do I get the download?

Immediately once payment is confirmed.
