the Hino plant, denoted with an RK in the VIN, has been building FJ’s for decades. I’m heartened by how many of those I still see cruising around SoCal. Those cars haven’t been imported in 10 years.
I’m sure the Hino vs. Hamura plant thing will live large in our minds, but I think the difference in quality is statistically insignificant.

From what I gathered from the Automotive Press YT channel, ‘R’ in the 9th position represents the 2024 model year. ‘K’ denotes Hino/Hamura or ‘5’ is Tahara in the 10th position.
If any one can confirm or correct this info, please do so!
Yes not sure if it’s 9,10 or if it’s 10,11 but RK is hino and R5 is Tahara.

You're right. I corrected it in the original post. Thank you.
