Newbie questions about my new 4runner sport

[zimm]

I've had my 4runner for a little over a week. I'm now re-reading the manuals and have some questions:

What is the designation of the 4.7 V8 engine? The maint. schedule has spark plugs every 30k for one engine, and a timing belt at 90k for the other. What does the V8 need?

Will the cigarette lighter accessory give me dual 12v plugs? Looks like there's a door with a 12v plug, and I could pull the lighter out and have another one...

Will the "maint" required light light up at my first 5000mi interval?

Is there an "auto LSD" on the rear axle with my full time 4wd? Or will it only spin one tire for each axle?

I answered one of my own questions:

V8= 2UZ-FE
V6= 1GR-FE

The V8 needs a timing belt at 90k miles.
The V6 needs spark plugs every 30k miles.

Yes & yes, you have auto-LSD aka ATRAC. My maint light begins to flash at 4500 on startup then goes steady at 5k.
