SVC WRITER TOLD ME THE IST DIGIT OF THE VIN DOESN'T INDICATE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN ON 3RD GEN ???*&%#!

I'VE BEEN A HORSE'S ASS ALL MY LIFE BUT I NEED SOME MORE PROOF I GUESS ...

 

Zero need for proof. It is a plain fact. Service writers are idiots. Also, zero need for all caps.

 

Forgive me for the capitalization ; I wasn't shouting, just didn't press the button ... Thanks for the affirmation of me being a horse's ass, I needed that.

 

You're welcome.

Just in case, all Tacos are made in three different assembly plants in MX for a few years now.

 

Mine is still wet from country #3 , with an "T" for the 11th digit ...

 

Go back and give a copy to your service writer. UAW actually puts this out. Tell him to educate himself before he looks like an idiot in front of his customers.

 

It’s technically the first 3 digits.
But you’ll by the 1st digit.

AHA ! The Guanajuato plant ...

 

WOW , Guanajuato averages about one homicide every 15 minutes ... this truck seems to be pretty well built under those circumstances. Detroit averages about one dead per day and their quality and resale values still don't measure up.
