    This might be one of the dumbest questions, but how do you guys tell if your truck is US specs or not? I'm going back and forth right now with toyota and they're so sure that my truck isn't US specs but what's one thing that would give it away?

    They should be able to tell by the VIN

    As an example here's what comes up when I put my VIN into TIS, as you can see it shows USA as the destination.

    Not right hand drive by chance?

    Gotta agree your VIN should tell where it was built.

    I think more stolen Toyota`s leave the country then are delivered into the USA

    Brought back from over seas on Uncle Sam`s dime might be possible.

    Officers and dipolmats do have a nice moving allowance though rare it does happen.

    Not just officers and diplomats, pretty much any service member can have a vehicle shipped overseas and back if they are stationed outside the US.
