How was my Taco equipped?

    My recently acquired '13 base Access cab has some items that are probably part of some package. While it has less than 9k miles, I didn't get a window sticker or any original paperwork that showed what it was equipped with when it rolled out of the plant.

    Is there something like a 'Toyota USA' 800 number I can call with the VIN to get that detailed list? (I'm familiar with this concept for Mazdas)

    In addition to knowing 'how' it came, I'd like to know what items were optional to be ordered. I guessing that if something could be ordered, such as the backup camera, heated mirrors, fog lights, etc could be ordered, then the vehicle is prewired for these bits. Most modern vehicles are not really 'custom' ordered anymore, they are just accessoried. Often at the port. Meaning stuff has to bolt on/PnP.

    So, anyone got the scoop on this stuff?

    TIA!

    I'm in the same situation. Hoping a window sticker is available online some how.

    the dealer can tell you what options you have on your truck, or you can build one online, the packages should be pretty similar, clearwater bill, i assume you have a 5 lug access cab?

    douginNC, i think the only options on yours is prob the audio/jbl/navi option and 4x4, yours is pretty loaded being the trd sport

    I'm not sure if that exists, but as a fellow '13 base owner I can tell you that fogs and back-up camera are pre-wired and very simple installs.

    You can call Toyota Customer Experience Center @ 1-800-331-4331.

    Give them your VIN, and they can tell you how the vehicle was equipped as shipped. They will also email you a copy if you wish.

    I do not believe there will be MSRP info, but I'll update if it does come with that. Not that that matters to me anyway.

    You'll see in my other post I found out it does exist.

    One big reason I was asking is related to the fog lights. I have them and they 'look' OE (although I've not examined the fixture) and it has an OE dash switch.

    It's wired to behave in an OE manner; work with low beams only.

    However, the wiring is not OE IMHO. There is a hot tap on the battery, to an inline fuse, to a relay on the fender, with wiring to the fogs, and a lead through the firewall. The lead in the cab is through a hole that someone removed a plug for, and did not install a grommet. :rolleyes:

    So, what I'm hoping to do is figure out how to correct this mess to an OE configuration, plug the hole, then do the 'anytime fog' mod.
