Look at the Vin Number
If the first number/letter of your Vin Number is 1 or 4 it was made in the USA
If the first number/letter of your Vin number is a J it was made in Japan.

The VIN (chassis) plate will let you know. If the 17 digit code starts with a J, then it was made in Japan. If not it was made elsewhere. American manufacturers don't tend to make Right Hand Drive cars either.

open the bonnet, look into the engine compartment, look for a metal plate near the steering column... or just below the wind screen, you should see the manufacture details... like make, model, and chasiss number, also place of manufacturing plant and date of manufacture... if only plant code appear, write it down and ask your local Toyota agent, and they can advise you, alternatively available in the internet. good luck searching.

Check Toyota's website @

If it starts with a J it is made in Japan.

Look at the car log card, or else at the car chassis

sometimes it will say on the door stickers, or under hood stickers...
There could be a code also in the VIN #
Does this help any?

Japan.
