Here is a VIN decoder for 2006 Toyotas: http://www.shoptrd.com/stores/pdfs/toyotavindecode2006.pdf

 

In '06 there was the normal Prius with 15" wheels which you probably have. There was also a Touring Edition with 16" wheels, a slightly modified rear suspension, and a bigger spoiler. Not all of the packages listed above by Ursle were available with the Touring Edition.

I do not remember the term model being used at all. I think PC started using it when the Gen III (2010 year model) came out because, in addition to the different option packages, there were versions I, II, III, IV and V (now called one through five).

 

I just looked at this vin decoder 7 while it is cool, could not tell about the package based on the vin. Am I missing something. http://www.shoptrd.com/stores/pdfs/toyotavindecode2010.pdf. ;-(
And yes, I am new & yes, I read the intro & while it is thorough, I can't say I understand a lot of the tips...

 

No, you're not missing anything--the VIN doesn't contain that level of detail.

 

Am I the only one who chuckled when seeing this thread title?
