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. |

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. ;): |
