This is the 5th Generation model years, covering 2002-2006, “wide-body” platform.
This is Japanese- made, at Toyota City, with a “J” in the VIN code.
Without exception- the Japanese - made Toyotas were exceptionally well made, and are much preferred compared to US or Mexico - made models during these same years.
And, there are dozens of differences between the same exact US or Japanese made model. So, you must often use the vin when specifying parts.
For example - the J- vin uses two bulbs for each dim and high- beam.
The J uses real leather on the doors. Etc.
