Re: Toyota Model Codes Explained.	Mon, 31 October 2005 06:18

Just for the record, the first post was with data copied straight from Jose's page. http://www.allwheelmotion.com/arvinfaq.htm He gave me permission to use his data on my page (which was mentioned by Maphril). I have added heaps more of my own stuff as well. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/stepho/ne wcodes.htm I also have a page for engine codes. Some of this data came from Matti (who never answered my emails) but most of it has been verified by me from other sources (manuals, vehicles, brochures, etc). http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/stepho/en gcodes.htm I think it addresses most of the questions raised by members. I try to add to it whenever I can. If you can see any ommissions or mistakes then please tell me. I'm sure I looked into the difference between -D and -B engine codes a few years ago but I can't remeber many details. I think it was something to do with dual carbs on high compression (ie super fuel) and low compression (regular fuel). It was only an issue in the late 60's and early 70's when super first became common place. My Corolla web page list some examples of cars with the K-D, K-B, 3K-D and 3K-B. Lastly, Jose listed things such as "highest grade". These are naturally a generalisation. Toyota sometimes made a model which really was the highest grade in that year. But sometimes it added something even better the year after. So they just picked another letter. They were very inconsistent on grades (LT/ST/GT/EX/GX/G/S/etc), so it is not possibly to definitively make a short table. In the end I just made a simplistic table that covers it the best I could without being too large. For real accuracy you have to drift through my pages on specific cars (eg Celica, Crown, etc).
