Crawl control on Canadian models of the 2016 tacoma

Hello to all from Cold Lake, Alberta,Canada; I am new to this forum and all I have read and seen of the new Tacoma was impressive. I just finished a test drive of the 2016 Tacoma auto 4x4 double door with the sport upgrade which proved to be puzzling. I was surprised to find out that the crawl control was not available in this model in Canada Does anyone know why crawl control only available in the 4x4 access can model

 

Was the four door an offroad? Crawl control only comes with the TRD Offroads.

 

2016 Tacoma. TRD Sport Upgrade Pkg
Dealership claims this option is only available in the access cab in Canada. My question would be why as it seems to me to only be a different cab or vehicle builds

 

Crawl control is only available on TRD Offroad auto tranny trucks . In Canada we only get the TRD Offroad in Access Cab

 

What a pitty, still does not tell why. What's the difference as I'm new to Toyota's

 

They are just different configurations

In the US you can get the TRD Offroad in an Access Cab , Double Cab Short bed or Double Cab Long bed

 

That sucks you guys don't get the four door offroad in Canada. Seems odd they wouldn't offer it.

Access cab



Four door with short bed. Also has longbed option (at least in the US)


Main difference on the Sport vs Offroad is Sport has a hoodscoop and "sport tuned" shocks. Offroad has locker, crawl control, and Bilstein shocks.

 

DC Offroad has never been available in Canada

 

Still really odd lol

 

|Now I have a question as to who to contact to find out why Canadian owners are not given the same build options as our southern brothers and sisters.Sorry Im like a dog with a bone when things dont make sense to me+

 

Am wondering too if it might be Canadian car regulations that may differ making some models not available.

 

No

 

Toyota Canada

 

You can get the TRD Offroad in Canada

 

OK

 

Well I decided to contact Toyota Canada and this was their response.
