    I have a 2016 MGM Tacoma got her new, her name is Grace. I've been searching trying to find out more about her life before I got her but cant seem to find any info. Does anyone know if this info is available and where I can acquire it?
    Where she was born (Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico) if my research is correct 3 on vin
    Birthday ?
    Original dealer she went to.. any transfers from dealers?
    I'm not having any major issues with my truck, cant say I haven't had any issues but I still love her. I plan on keeping her for a long time. I was just thinking about my binder with all my receipts and service records and got to thinking about her life without me. Not a big deal obviously but If the info is out there somewhere Id be curious to see. thanks in advanced to anyone that helps

    If you're VIN starts with a 3, it was born in Mexico. If it starts with a 5, it was born in Texas. You can find the month and year on the inside of your driver side door.

    Trucks name was actually Terrence. Worked at a blockbuster his whole life. When blockbuster went under, Terrence went off the deep end. Now goes by grace.

    If you are registered on Toyota.com/Owners I think a lot of that comes up along with the port or factory options and packages.

    Are there only 2 factories for Tacoma's in north America? Tijuana Mexico and san Antonio Texas? I know the month and year are 7/16 but would like to know the day if possible. I am on Toyota owners, on there is says selling dealer is Penney Toyota in Huntsville, AL,35816 does that mean that's where she was originally shipped to? I bought her in WA so that's quite a distance she traveled. as far as the orphanage she came from Town Toyota in East Wenatchee WA. I do have a binder ( I'm pretty organized) she's been in for a climate control knob that was sticking, got a whole new unit. The transmission software update Twice (original and rev version) an Oil change and that's about it she still has less than 5000 miles on her in about 9 months of ownership but that's only due to a 2,000 mile road trip when my grandmother passed away. most of the stuff in the binder are all the receipts for everything I've modified.

    Probably won't throw any birthday parties just interested in if this info is out there somewhere. Although if I did know her DOB maybe I could use that as an excuse for more mods. I'll tell my wife it's my tacos birthday gift..
