Every Lexus GX (2016–2023) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the JTJ WMI. The GX is a gas SUV; this page shows what each character of a Lexus GX VIN means and gives 4 checksum-valid sample VINs you can drop straight into test fixtures. Synthetic — not real: no scraping, no real-owner data. The generator below is pre-filtered to the GX.
Each sample below is built from the real JTJ WMI and the GX's descriptor, so it decodes to a Lexus GX of the right model year:

Worked on the sample JTJBM7FX2G5217005 — a 2016 Lexus GX:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | JTJ | Marks the VIN as Lexus, built in Japan |
| 4–8 | VDS | BM7FX | Descriptor for the GX — SUV body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 2 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | G | Code G = 2016 |
| 11 | Plant | 5 | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 217005 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Lexus GX VIN read JTJ — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Lexus, assembled in Japan (Asia). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (BM7FX in our seed) describe the GX itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the GX, 2016 is code G and 2023 is code P. See the 2023 year code or the check-digit math.

A Lexus GX VIN is 17 characters starting with the JTJ WMI, for example JTJBM7FX2G5217005. Positions 4–8 describe the GX, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: JTJ is the Lexus WMI, positions 4–8 are the GX descriptor, position 9 verifies the VIN via a mod-11 checksum, position 10 gives the year, position 11 the plant, and 12–17 the serial. Paste any VIN into the decoder to do it automatically.
The GX in our seed uses the JTJ WMI (Japan). Any VIN beginning with JTJ decodes to Lexus.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Lexus JTJ WMI, and carry the GX's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Lexus GX. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
