I just looked again and if you choose Nunavit which is a territory that is most north, then the block heater is mandatory. Not mandatory i any part of canada that is adjacent to The lower 48 states! Sorry

I don't know what province you entered in the request for a price quote but I live in Ottawa, Ontario where the temperature gets down to -25 F on a regualr basis and Toyota.Ca does NOT list the block he....ater as a mandatory option. I know a few people who have the TCH in Canada and none have toe block heater installed. that is not to say it's a bad idea but how and where did it become mandatory? Maybe in The North West territories or some such northern part of Canada but not in Ontario.
