How do I know if my Toyota is made in Japan or the USA?


You can tell if a Toyota is made in Japan or the USA by checking the first character of the vehicle's 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). A "J" indicates it was made in Japan, while "1," "4," or "5" signify it was made in the USA. This VIN is located on a metal plate on the driver's side dashboard near the windshield or on the driver's side door jamb.
