    Just purchased a 2010 Prius III but think it might be a IV. The reason is it has the 3 door SKS. I have searched this forum and the internet and find no reference to the 3 door SKS ever being available on the III only the IV and V.

    The VIN is JTDKN3DU4A0036090

    Any guesses????

    If it has 3 door SKS it is at least a IV. I have the III and I only have one door SKS.

    I'd suggest you call Toyota Customer Service with your vin and ask.

    Does it have OEM looking leather and lumbar button (IV) or fabric (III) ?

    Not a good idea to post your VIN in a public forum. :eek:

    FWIW, I have a 3 and it only has driver's side SKS.

    I think all IV's came with navigation and the flip down screen with 4 disc changer behind. In III, nav was an option.

    III's only had 1 door SKS like mine.

    IV's also had heated leather seats and leather steering wheel, water repellant side windows, auto dimming rearview mirror with Homelink

    Toyota confirms it is IV. The dealer sold this car new, knew what options it had and even told me about the 3 door SKS and still sold it as a III. Oh well, there loss, my gain.

    I'm very happy with the car. Averaging 53 MPG so far. My 3rd Prius, have had one of each generation. Liked them all, kind of miss my Gen I though. It was so unique for the time.
