    Hamura is a suburb west of Tokyo, not far from where Honda CRV's are made. BTW Toyota assemblers still do calisthentics. . . American Toyota assemblers are no longer required to do calisthentics.

    Toyota is building a new plant in North America every year, even have a large plant in Tijuana, Mexico now.

    Easy to way do decipher any toyota vin. If the first letter is a J, its made in Japan. If its a 1,2,4,(and maybe 5) its made either in Canada or USA

    Nope. All were made in the US. The 1st few years the engines were built in Japan.

    Notice in this PDF Toyota is saying that their were some Tundras made in Japan? noted by the " J " in the VIN # or is this not what it says? Vin # JT321 & JU321 would tell me that they were made in Japan but which Tundras they were is a mystery to me? The J pretty much tells its Country of origin no matter what Toy it is be it an FJ or any other Toy!

    I'm no expert, on deciphering VIN codes, but as I understand it, the VDS# is the vehicles attributes and are numbers 4-8 on the VIN and has nothing to do with where the vehicle was built.

    The 1st 3 numbers on the VIN is the WMI code and tells where the vehicle was built and by what manufacturer. So, if a Tundra was built in Japan the 1st 2 digits must be "JT" (Japan and Toyota)

    What I'm saying is that the VIN codes on the PDF is incomplete. It only has 12 of the 17 numbes in a VIN code. It doesn't list the WMI numbers which tell you where the vehicle was built.
