Toyota T100
Toyota's first attempt at a full-size American pickup, and it is the Tacoma and 4Runner's mechanicals in a larger body — the 3RZ-FE four and the 5VZ-FE V6 are shared with both, so their material covers the engines, gearboxes and transfer cases almost completely and there is a great deal more of it. That is the practical route in, because very little was written under this name: it sold poorly, having no V8 and a cab smaller than its American rivals', and was replaced by the Tundra in 1999. On the V6 the timing belt is the service item that decides whether one of these is worth keeping — it is an interference engine and the belt is not a lifetime part. Built in Japan and imported, which is why so few configurations were offered.

Service information
Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
