The oxygen censor may be causing this problem. If this isn't the case then there may a problem with the coil pack.

Possibly a cylinder not operating. One simple check to do in the garage is a heat test. Run a cold engine for about 15 seconds. Then check the temp of the exhaust at each exhaust port. They should have a temp that is warm to the touch on all cylinders. If one is still cold then that is a problem cylinder. Look at the wires, plugs and injector to ensure everything is OK. Further in, check compression if necessary. If vibration starts once its placed in drive but its OK when in park then you got a transmission problem. I would suggest taking that problem to a shop. They could get an adjustment or find a more serious problem.
Could be a, Clutch problem, Transmission problem or an Axle problem.
I would check fuel pump pressure, fuel filter, and than timing.
Toyota does manufacture vehicles in the US. If the VIN starts with 2J, it is made in Japan. If the VIN starts with 4T, then it is made in the USA.
