    according to this my 2006 DCSB is L - Double Cab 4WD Super long Wheel Base (Tacoma). I wonder what a DCLB is?:confused:

    The 2006 VIN decoder is a bit confusing, if you look at another year (2009 for example), you'll see that L is the "Long Wheel Base" DCSB 4x4 and M is the "Super Long Wheel Base" DCLB 4x4.

    Also, the TRD Off Road package was not available on the DCLB.

    Since a lot of the prior ones did not work anymore I found these which all worked in January of 2017

    I found these PUBLIC locations:
    https://fleet.toyota.com/ftc/public/staticContent/docs/Miscellaneous Information/Archived/

    There are PDF VIN decoder charts in that Archived list for 2009 to 2015:
    https://fleet.toyota.com/ftc/public/staticContent/docs/Miscellaneous Information/Archived/2009 Toyota Vin Decoder as of 3-31-2009.pdf
    https://fleet.toyota.com/ftc/public/staticContent/docs/Miscellaneous Information/Archived/2010 Toyota VIN Decoder as of 8-28-2009.pdf
    https://fleet.toyota.com/ftc/public/staticContent/docs/Miscellaneous Information/Archived/2011 Toyota VIN Decoder as of 09-15-2010.pdf
    https://fleet.toyota.com/ftc/public/staticContent/docs/Miscellaneous Information/Archived/2012 Toyota VIN Decoder as of 10-18-2011.pdf
    https://fleet.toyota.com/ftc/public/staticContent/docs/Miscellaneous Information/Archived/2013 Toyota VIN Decoder as of 07-02-12.pdf
    https://fleet.toyota.com/ftc/public/staticContent/docs/Miscellaneous Information/Archived/2014 Toyota VIN Decoder - 09-16-13.pdf
    https://fleet.toyota.com/ftc/public/staticContent/docs/Miscellaneous Information/Archived/2015 Toyota VIN Decoder - 07-10-14.pdf

    Only thing for 2016
    https://fleet.toyota.com/ftc/public/staticContent/docs/Miscellaneous Information/Archived/2016 Dealer Model Reference 04-23-15.pdf

    And preliminary for 2017, Very Pretty compared to the older ones:
    https://fleet.toyota.com/ftc/public/staticContent/docs/Miscellaneous Information/2017 TOYOTA VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER DECODER 07.22.16.pdf

    Some interesting stuff here too:
