Dealers misidentifying trim levels

Misidentifying trims seems to be a long-running problem. When I joined here, there was evidence that the number of used Gen2s marked as 'Touring' greatly exceeded the number actually built. Most of them were also pictured with non-Touring wheels.

 

The CR/TR numbers get ya all us need know about that units trim level. Used car dealers don't give a crap it's a 3 4 or 7 or a 9 makes no difference to them what matters to them is what sounds good when they write the ad I swear it must be that because all over the country if you look at car advertisements that are written by second and third party you know used car dealers not at the Toyota dealer You should see the things you will read and read out loud to yourself and be like what the hell yeah I mean it's just unbelievable and then individual selling cars like in Facebook marketplace or even in what used to be the newspaper you know whatever classifieds you partake in now craigslist auto junction whatever the descriptions of vehicles and trim levels and equipment is hysterical It's like a night out of the Dave Chappelle show almost.

 

Too bad Toyota doesn’t put the trim on a plate somewhere easy to see. Glove box?

 

It's inside the door panel right under the center of VIN number at the bottom of that sticker should be a C/TR that is your trim I do believe
