Thanks Tom, I guess my explanation of it wasn't as good without the "". Ha ha! If you want to defeat that particular smiley, here's the secret: use an uppercase P, like this: :P

Is there a site where I can input the VIN and find out what Package is on a Prius? Thanks. tls1@razzolink.com

Obtained by using the PriusChat search function for "VIN decoder". If you select to view the results "by post" instead of "by thread" it's easier to see which results are relevant to your question.

Welcome to Toyota Fleet | Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc.

I didn't test the decoder to see if it works.

Good thread. Valuable as a "Sticky." I would agree that the Google search engine does a nice job and is very likely going to bring you right to PriusChat.

Yes it is very likely. In fact there's a 100% chance that google will show you only Priuschat search results if you include the following in your search terms:

site:Priuschat.com

I know it's sort of an arcane feature of google, but the more you use it (not just on Priuschat) the more you love it!
