Differences b/w Canadian and American 2020-2024 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium?

I was just wondering if there is a comprehensive list of differences b/w the 2020-2024 4Runner Off Road Premiums?

Doing some research here and was shocked to find out that the Canadian 4Runner Off Road Premium had dual climate controls.

Are there any other major differences? I searched around and one thread mentioned it might have automatic head lights as well? Is there a way to swap out the guage cluster so you have it display mph vs km/h?

 

I think the Canuck versions also get auto head lights? Some of our resident Canadian's will chime in soon enough to help you out.

As far as I know they don't get a premium option but their TRD gets the dual zone and auto lights plus I believe a heated wheel before the US did.

 

I know the gauge cluster is in KPH and they all run off Maple Syrup, oh, and when you honk the horn it doesn't beep. It goes "Aboot!"

 

500 leafs fans to the kiloliter of maple syrup.

 

Hah
Thanks
Well my 2016 was a Trail Premium, I believe it was one of the last years before *TRD Off Road was widely available in Canada.

I don’t have either of those features

 

Canadians have just TRD Off-Road, there's no Premium trim in Canada. But I understand that all features is very close to US "Premium" version. So Canadian TRD Off-road has dual climate controls, automatic headlights with no option to turn them off manually. Built-in GPS and front/side cameras is standard too. Heated steering wheel is standard from 2023, previous years don't have it (maybe except for Limited). Speedometer is in km/h and mhp but numbers are small : ) I think setting allow you to chose F and mpg for information display but I'm not sure.

Here's overview from Canadian dealership - 2024 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road 4WD .

 

they did get auto headlights. Canadian laws on day time lighting is a lot more strict than the US for obvious reasons with the weather and geographic location and everything.

 

Canadian laws only mandate DRL. My 2010 SR5 had DRL (cannot be turned off), but lights were manual. Auto lights is a luxury feature, cheaper cars don't have it.

 

Like US market ORPs?

 

As of September 1st 2021, "all new vehicles must have headlights and taillights that turn themselves on at dark and dashboards that stay dark if the headlights are off"

Off Road's in Canada also all come with KDSS and sunroofs.

 

Can you swap out the speedometer if you bring a Canadian 4Runner to the United States so the outer ring on the speed displays mph instead of km/h.

 

Options that you would expect in a $50,000 plus vehicle. My wife has only driven our 23' ORP once to work when we first bought it. She cannot get over the fact that the ORP does not have remote start, auto headlamps and dual zone climate control like her 2008 Highlander did. That is why her car sits outside in the cold and the ORP is warm and cozy in the garage! I am not sure if the new 4r can be optioned with remote start but that is a great option here in Detroit.

 

Aren't Canadian 4Runners offered in a "Hoser" edition.

 

Probably would be more hassle than it's worth. If it's a newer 4R with the updated cluster you can have the speed displayed digitally in the center in mph or kph. That's what I do when I drive in the States and I don't even look at the analog speedo.

 

Yes our Canadian versions are well equiped. All TRD Off Roads are pretty much premiums here. My '22 ORP has the dual climate, auto headlights and highbeams, puddle lights. KDSS. Factory remote start, moonroof and all the Toyota Safety Sense P tech. Heated seats but not the steering wheel. No JBL sound system. Given the small size of our market Toyota making more cash on well optioned trucks.

 

The Canadian costs 25% more.

 

Well i just built a 4runner 2025 limited 4x4 online for 58880.00$ USD in Canuck $ this is 85600,00$ Cad. The same 4runner built here in Canada is 71200,00$ Cad.

 

Is there a setting on Canadian 4Runner dual climate control to switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit?

 

Wouldn’t matter because it isn’t a direct swap to non dual zone vehicles.

 

I looked at the msrp of a Canadian 2024 limited and according to google MSRP was 60400$ CAD which translates to 42k$ USD. The 2024 limited in the US had a MSRP of 50k USD!

thats a huge difference. Canada is getting much better prices! Although adjusting for cost of living I don’t know how that would compare. Still, Toyota is definitely taking advantage of US consumers. Even more with the new prices of the 6th gen!

 

I didn't try it, but in manual there's an option:

“Unit of Temperature”*1
Select to change the unit of temperature.
 “Units of Measurement”
Select to change the unit of measure
for distance/fuel consumption.

 

Quick, slap a tariff on us

 

Block Heater?

 

In the list of optional stuff we can get for our 4R.

 

I heard when you hit FOB the Vehicle says "EH"

 

My 2021 trd pro Canadian Import will not change the gauge readings from Celcious to Farenheit. Anybody know if there is a difference? No jokes please just serious replys. I love this thing, best 4wd I ever had. Is there a relay, sensor or computer switch that needs to be changed?

 

More than likely you need to change the cluster out but I'm not 100% sure if it's plug and play. You do have a Pro Bro which has the Limited and Canadian TRD OR goods.

 

Surprised there's no setting to toggle this in the stereo head unit?

 

This.... besides that, nothing.
