                        Distribution Agreement dated September 3, 1998

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is hereby made to the First Amended and Restated Distribution
Agreement, dated September 3, 1998, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated January
12, 2000 (as amended, the "Distribution Agreement"), among Toyota Motor Credit
Corporation, a California

   2

corporation (the "Company") and Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Lehman Brothers Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co., J.P.
Morgan Securities Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Salomon Smith
Barney Inc. as Agents with respect to the issue and sale by the Company of its
Medium-Term Notes described therein. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Distribution Agreement.

        Whereas Lehman Brothers Inc. was terminated as an Agent in accordance
with Section 12(a) of the Distribution Agreement; whereas Credit Suisse First
Boston Corporation will become a party to the Distribution Agreement as set
forth below; and whereas the parties wish to make certain other amendments to
the Distribution Agreement, the Company and the Agents agree as follows:

        1. The first sentence of the second paragraph on page two of the
Distribution Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

                "The Company confirms its agreement with Merrill Lynch, Goldman,
                J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley and SSB, and enters into an
                agreement with Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation ("CSFB")
                (collectively, the "Agents") with respect to the issue and sale
                by the Company of its Medium-Term Notes Due More Than One Year
                From Date of Issue (the "Notes")."

        2. Additional Authorized Notes. Pursuant to the third introductory
paragraph of the Distribution Agreement, the Company hereby delivers to each of
you an original copy of the Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee on
the date hereof pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture authorizing the
issuance of $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes, in addition to
$13,320,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes previously authorized for
issuance (including $1,500,000,000 authorized by the Officers' Certificate dated
December 8, 2000, and $320,000,000 authorized by the Officers' Certificate dated
April 23, 2001, and $700,000,000 authorized by the Officers' Certificate dated
June 25, 2001), $410,700,000 of which remains unissued as of the date hereof;
provided that, in calculating the aggregate principal amount of Notes
authorized, (i) with respect to Notes issued at a discount to face, the initial
offering price shall be used, (ii) with respect to Notes issued at a premium to
face, the face amount of such Notes shall be used, and (iii) with respect to
Notes denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars the U.S. dollar
equivalent of such Notes shall be used.

        3. Clause (C) of Section 2(a)(vi) is hereby amended as follows:

                "(C) since the date of the most recent audited financial
                statements of the Company, there has been no dividend or
                distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company
                on any class of its capital stock except as otherwise described
                in an Incorporated Document or as disclosed in the documentation
                relating to a particular issuance of Notes, including the
                applicable pricing supplement."

        4. The notice provisions contained in Section 13 are hereby amended to
delete the notice address for Lehman Brothers Inc. and to add the following
contact information for CSFB:
