VIN # Question?
Looking to purchase a 4R curious if there is a meaning full difference between 2 4R's:

JTEKU5JR1R

JTEKU5JR5R

Basically what is the difference, if any, between "1R" & "5R"

Both of these are the same exact model/trim with the same exact options.

From what I'm reading, the 9th digit (1 & 5 in your examples) is just a check digit. R being the model year (1994 or 2024).

What's in the Vehicle Identification Number? | DataOne Software.

The way I understand it is it basically works like a sequence of numbers work in a credit card number. If you just put in random numbers any credit card sofware will know if it's legit or not.

"the 9th digit is designed to verify the authenticity of the VIN. Its determined using a mathematical formula that involves the other numbers in the VIN.

Some helpful threads on VIN:

How to decode T4R VIN

Does the VIN tell what model you have?
