As most Land Cruisers are built at this legendary factory in Japan. I thought this would be an interesting watch for fellow LC enthusiasts. It definitely instills confidence me for this purchase.

An unknown percentage of LC's are produced at the "Hino" (near Tokyo) facility. There seems to be no rhyme or reason in this regard. The Tahara is the more highly regarded plant of the two. This said, definitely give me a Toyota assembled in Japan!

I know, I don’t know what the determination is as to what plant the particular order is built at. I do know that the one that have on reserve is built in Tahara based on the VIN# that I was given.

Here’s a great tool to find out the plant that your vehicle was manufactured at. Just put in the VIN# and date. The plant info is at the bottom.
