Post up a picture of the sticker in your driver door jamb. It’ll have your vin and a bunch of other information like paint code and axle ratio.

2002 RWD is usually 3.91 gears.
2002 4WD is usually 4.10 gears.

If you came with the 15" wheels from the factory it might be 3.7 gears but those are pretty rare. The doorjamb sticker will tell you for sure. It's probably A03A

I personally only seen the 4.10 and 4:30 on the automatic 4wd. With mostly 4:30 being with the factory elocker. However, there are some rare 4.10s out there.

You will have 4.10 gears in a 2001 Limited 4WD

ALL 01-02 Limited were 4.10 gears in America. ALL of them.

This is correct. I confirmed with the LKQ Interchange guide as well. All 4x4 4Runners in 01/02 were V6/AUTO with 4.10 gears. There are no exceptions that I am aware of.

No not all 4Runners. All LIMITED 4Runners.

I have personally owned a 2001 V6 4WD with an A02A 3.91 axle code. Basically a base model, no fancy seats, no flares or wheel moldings of any kind, etc.

In order to get the 4.10 gears you had to have some sort of wheel opening molding package. The wheel molding package was due to the larger Tires (265-70-16 instead of the 15" smaller tires). Limited was 16" wheels as standard equipment already, so they got 4.10 gears standard no matter the options package.
