I would think it would be metric, like every other bolt on a Toyota. So 7/16-20 is not likely. As for the actual size I don't know.

Thats what i thought. I took a bolt down to the parts store and the only die that went on smoothly was 7/16 - 20. it doesnt make sense

M12x1.25 is the size, 1.25mm thread pitch is pretty close to 20 threads per inch.
