Ladies and Gentlemen:

We (“us” or “PwC”) have performed the procedures enumerated below, which were agreed to by Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (as the engaging party), Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Barclays Capital Inc., MUFG Securities Americas Inc., and RBC Capital Markets, LLC., who are collectively referred to herein as the “Specified Parties”, solely to assist you in connection with the accuracy of certain attributes of certain collateral assets which may be included in the issuance of asset-backed notes by Toyota Auto Receivables 2024-D Owner Trust (the “Transaction”). Toyota Motor Credit Corporation (“TMCC”, the “Company” or “Responsible Party”) is responsible for the accuracy of the attributes of the collateral assets which may be included in the Transaction.

In an agreed-upon procedures engagement, we perform specific procedures that the Specified Parties have agreed to and acknowledged to be appropriate for the intended purpose of the engagement and we report on findings based on the procedures performed. The procedures performed may not address all the items of interest to a user of this report and may not meet the needs of all users of this report and, as such, users are responsible for determining whether the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. The Specified Parties have agreed to and acknowledged that the procedures performed are appropriate for their purposes. This report may not be suitable for any other purpose.

Procedures and Findings

In connection with the Transaction, the Specified Parties agreed on a sample size of 150 retail installment auto receivables, which the Specified Parties instructed us to select randomly from a preliminary data tape containing 77,744 retail installment auto receivables which may be sold as part of the Transaction.

We make no representations as to the adequacy of the sample size, nor do we draw any conclusions about the entire Sample Loan Data Tape (defined below), any additional receivables for the Transaction, or any other receivables in the Sample Loan Data Tape that are excluded from the Transaction.

This agreed-upon procedures engagement was not conducted for the purpose of satisfying any criteria for due diligence published by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

In addition, PwC should not be regarded as having in any way warranted or given any assurance as to the following items:

procedures agreed to by the Specified Parties. The procedures performed would not necessarily reveal any material misstatement of the amounts, balances, ratios, percentages or other relationships of the information included in the data provided to us;
The conformity of the origination of the assets to stated underwriting or credit extension guidelines, standards, criteria or other requirements;
The value of collateral securing such assets; and
The compliance of the originator of the assets with federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

We have not performed any procedures with respect to the fair value of the securities being offered in the Transaction and PwC expresses no opinion on the current fair value of these securities. PwC should not be regarded as having performed any procedures other than those detailed in this report.

With respect to any terms or requirements of the prospectus or other Transaction documents that do not appear in this report, we performed no procedures and, accordingly, the procedures we performed would not ensure that any requirements are satisfied. Further, we have performed only the following agreed-upon procedures and therefore make no representations regarding the adequacy of disclosures or whether any material facts have been omitted from the prospectus or other Transaction documents.

It should be understood that we make no representations as to:

The interpretation of Transaction documents (including, but not limited to, indenture agreements or offering documents) included in connection with our procedures;
Your compliance with Rule 15Ga-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934;
The reasonableness of any of the assumptions provided by the Responsible Party; and
The adequacy of the sample size, as provided by the Responsible Party and accepted by the Specified Parties, nor do we draw any conclusions about the entire pool of retail installment auto receivables based on the sample size and results of the procedures performed.

These procedures should not be taken to supplant any additional inquiries or procedures that the Specified Parties would undertake in consideration of the Transaction.

For purposes of this AUP Report, the following definitions, unless otherwise indicated, have been adopted in presenting our procedures and findings:

The phrase “compared” refers to the comparison of one or more data elements to underlying documentation.

The phrase “Original Number of Scheduled Payments Methodology” refers to methodology provided by the Company for identifying the “Original Number of Scheduled Payments” in the Origination System (defined below). The methodology is:

The “# of Payments” field is located in the Contract Dates section of the Contract tab within the “Funding View Mode” of the Origination System; and

“Original Number of Scheduled Payments” = the value in the “# of Payments” field.

The phrase “First Payment Date” refers to the date on which the first of the recurring, equal, scheduled installments is due.

The phrase “Maturity Date Identification Methodology” refers to methodology provided by the Company to identify the value for maturity date at origination indicated in the Loan File (defined below). The methodology is:

If the Contract specifies the date of the final payment;

Then the maturity date is the specified date of the final payment as shown on the Contract;

As instructed by the Company, we did not perform this procedure D for Sample Loan #111The Company represents that for this Sample Loan, the balance was paid in full after the Sample Cut-off Date. Using the Additional ILTH Data, we observed a “loan balance” of zero.

E.
For each Sample Loan, using the ILNS Data:


(1)
We compared the values contained in the “PD-30”, “PD-60”, and “PD-90” fields to a zero value;

Or


(2)
If the “PD-30”, “PD-60”, or “PD-90” fields contained a non-zero value, and the “LAST-TRN” field contained a date on or before the Sample Cut-off Date, we:


a.
Compared the value contained in the “PST-DUE” field to a zero value; or

b.
If the “PST-DUE” field contained a non-zero value, we compared (i) the difference between the Sample Cut-off Date and the date contained in the “PST-DUE” field to (ii) a value of less than 30 days;

Or


(3)
If the “PD-30”, “PD-60”, or “PD-90” fields contained a non-zero value, and the “LAST-TRN” field contained a date subsequent to the Sample Cut-off Date, we compared the aggregate dollar amount of payments as of the Sample Cut-off Date to an amount greater than or equal to the aggregate amount that would be required for the Sample Loan to be less than 30 days delinquent as of the Sample Cut-off Date. As instructed by the Company, a Sample Loan was considered to be delinquent if less than 90% of a regularly scheduled payment was received by the due date.

F.
For each Sample Loan, we compared the repossession and bankruptcy status flags (“in repossession/bankruptcy” or “not in repossession/bankruptcy”) of each Sample Loan as of the Sample Cut-off Date, as shown in the ILTH Data, to a status of “not in repossession/bankruptcy” using the ILTH Data and the following methodology provided by the Company:


(1)
We compared the values contained in the “DESC” field of the Primary Servicing System to values other than: “036 B”, “036 R”, “036 P”, “204 A”, “204 B”, “204 C”, or “204 D” (the “Repossession/Bankruptcy Codes”);

Or


(2)
If the “DESC” field contained one or more of the Repossession/Bankruptcy Codes, we compared the values contained in the “DESC” field that occur after the most recent occurrence of one of the Repossession/Bankruptcy Codes, but on or prior to the Sample Cut-off Date, to one or more of the values: “036 X”, “204 E”, “204 F”, “204 G”, “204 H”, “204 I”, “204 J”, “204 K”, “204 L”, “204 M”, “204 N”, “204 P”, “204 Q”, “204 R”, “204 S”, or “204 V” (the “Rehabilitation Codes”).
