Call Toyota USA and ask them to fax you the vehicle inquiry report. It tells you everything you want to know including: order date, build date, selling dealer, if there was any port damage, factory installed and port installed equipment. 1-800-331-4331.

I'm fairly certain the first 1000 numbers were reserved and the vehicles built for resale began with 1001 (or maybe 1000).

To certify in the US vehicle must under go testing, and some are crash tested to satisfy safety requirements. I know that Toyota (or any manufacturer) doesn't test anywhere near 1000 vehicles (or 100 for that matter), it would be cost prohibitive. Those first vehicles end up being crushed so they cannot resurface in the real world.

Therefore, you have the 912th (or 913th) vehicle to run through the Hino Motors Plant in Hamura, Japan that was sold in the United States.

Open the driver's door and look at the black label on the suicide door. At the top right corner of the label is the manufactured date. Mine is 09/06, which means September 2006. Only the month and year are given; unfortunately the day is not.
