Howdy,

As far as I knew the rear heater was always standard on 4Runners in Canada. I've never seen one without it and I found a 1998 brochure that says it's common to all 4Runners.

(It was common to my 1999 and 2000.)

The Rear Differential Lock was standard on all Limiteds and available as a SR5 V6 Package. Again this is from a 1998 brochure and from what I've seen.

Perhaps these were options elsewhere in the Country but every 4Runner I've seen matched this pattern.

As a side note, I sometimes see people referring to 4Runners not being built in Japan. Is this the case with US 4Runners? I think all the 4Runners in Canada are built in Japan. (Or am I off my rocker and mis-reading all these posts on the web.)

Later,
Opitus
