VIN Number

I was using toyota parts deal today and when I enter my VIN, it comes up as a 93 4Runner , problem is I have a 93 pickup ..

Does anyone else have this problem ? How can I be sure the parts I need to order are correct for my truck ?

No, you have a 4Runner. With a "trim level" of "Low deck pickup, Deluxe."

That's just the way the EPC works. The drawings on the website will help (a lot). And if you're still concerned, make a phone call. At least then if you get the wrong part you can probably return it.

For what it's worth, I like the interface at http://www.toyotapartsoverstock.com/ None of them (as you've found out) are easy to use. Keep that in mind when you're grumbling about how long it takes the counterman to figure out what you want when all you have is your own vague description of the part.

My 1990 comes up as an 88. I just have to make sure whatever I buy I get the p/n for before purchase. Had a hell of a time with a tps purchase once haha
