    Hi Everyone,
    There was a webpage on Toyota's official page where you could look up the features by VIN#. I used this when I purchase a vehicle to see if a dealer had something in stock or not. It would normally tell you the "servicing dealer". Once you saw that you knew the vehicle was sold so I didn't bother. The reason I ask is because I am in the market for a Tacoma and always like to deal with the dealer directly when I purchase it. I can't tell you how many times a dealer's site will have it listed in inventory only to find out it was gone already. Suck that Toyota took this tool away from their website.

    I'll be damned, that site was just available a couple of weeks ago but they must have removed it really recently.

    Yes it appears they took that VIN lookup feature down, I used it all the time. I did find this one, but it's not as detailed, does not show color/interior codes, installed options, etc. If anyone finds the orig Toyota VIN Lookup page, post it up here!

    Doesn't seem to work with older VINs, meaning 3rd gens, etc.
