I was chatting with Toyota LC 250 owners on another forum and I learned something new about the internal lexicon of how different Toyota products are named.

Our GX 550’s have a specific “Katashiki” code which designates its engine, marque, powertrain, body,, and steering drive side.

It was a cool learning moment - like finding out an unknown tidbit about the ancestry of someone or something you hold dear.
