Canadian Spec 4 Runner

I was looking at the Canadian Website for Toyota and I noticed that there are only two models availiable the SR5 and Limited no Sport Edition. They do offer a "sport package" with the following options but only on a V6. Sport package is not offered for a V8

Telescoping Steering Wheel

X-REAS Sport Suspension

P265/65R17 Raised White Letter Mud and Snow Tires

Full Size Spare

17" Alloy Wheels

Larger Diameter Front Ventilated Discs

In Dash 6-Disc CD Changer

Steering Wheel Audio Controls

Power Driver Seat

Power Passenger Seat

Two-Tone Premium Cloth

Integrated Garage Door Opener

Power Moonroof

Colour Keyed Power Heated Mirrors

Front Skid Plate

Hood Scoop

Silver Painted Roof Rack

Leather Wrapped Steering Wheel and Shift Knob

Double Decker Cargo Floor

Theft Deterrent System

Light Control System

Colors availiable

White (Stone)
Nautical Blue (stone)
Black (Stone)
Galactic Gray (stone)
Titanium Silver (stone)
Driftwood Pearl (Taupe)
Metorite Metallic (Stone) Slightly darker gray than Galactic. Taupe interior is only avail. in the Driftwood Pearl


Salsa Red is not availiable in Canada. I thought it was interesting info how the options differ so greatly between the USA and Canada. I wonder what the criteria is that Toyota uses to determine which options which country gets

From what others have said, the SE is technically a SR5 Sport or SR5 Sport Edition. Also in the VIN, there is a digit that identifies the truck as a SR5 or a Limited. But the sport package you listed looks like the standard equipment that US spec SE's get.

They ditched the V8 Sport this year....it was available in 06 and previous. Not sure why, it wasn't extremely popular, but it still sold.

All Toyotas in Canada come in 2 -> 4 packages with preset option grouping. So a V8 Limited in Canada MUST come with X-REAS, rear air susp, moonroof and other stuff that may be optional on US Runners. There's no "special ordering," or picking and choosing individual options.

It's kind of crappy for the people that like to do that kind of thing, but it definetly makes things easier on the dealer and streamlines the manufacturing, pipeline and purchase processes.

Also good for the used market, because you don't wind up with strangely optioned up rigs.

Sounds like Toyota's Canadian approach is like Honda's in the US. Only choice of transmission, color, trim and now navigation and sat radio.

The the optionless approach isn't a bad idea, because I wouldn't mind having a fully loaded car or truck. But there are folks like my dad who does not want a moonroof and they're stuck with one. It also puts certain buyers out of reach when they desire a bit more than a base vehicle. Having choices is a good thing, having too many choices can be a bad thing.
