Going to Canada, what parts should I look out for?

[toyotas4all]

Going to Canada for the first time in about 3 weeks.

I was wondering if there were any Canada only TRD parts or options for our vehicle. I know Bonjiovi DSP is one of them, not that I'd get it anyway but are there any things I should look out for when I'm there?

Theres a TRD/aftermarket place in Calgary,AB called Matrix Motorsports. You might have to order the parts....not 100% sure.How it used to be in Edmonton..

If you are interested in the hood deflector, every dealership that I know carries them. We have block heaters is standard equipment, but I am not sure what a USA dealership carries as OEM compared to the US, so its hard to say what we have and you don't. Is there anything in particular that you are interested in that you can't get in the US?

Other than that the USA will beat CDN for TRD part every single time by sometimes more than double the price.

Yup, the aftermarket car parts in Canada is pretty lame.. Not many aftermarket shops. Most of us purchase from the States which is typically cheaper even after duties.

I didn't get block heater as standard with my 09, is this a recent development?

I'd imagine the block heater is only standard in the colder parts of the country.

Buy the all weather floor mats. That's what's better in Canada (and not available anymore in the US).

All weather mats and block heater.....

Doesn't look like I'll get much of a good deal by going to any Toyota dealerships there. *sigh*
