Question GX 460 Heating system

Hi all, I currently reside in Dubai and will relocate back to Sweden and plan to bring my GX460 with me. My only worry is that the car would not be equipped with a sufficient heating system to cater for the Swedish winters (could be below -25 F) and instead with a larger cooler/AC unit for the extreme heat which can go above 120F in the summer.

I know that these extreme temperatues are common in the US, i.e. summers in Nevada and winters around the great lakes.
Would a car with a US spec be different if it's sold in the south compared to the northern states?
If yes, is it possible to buy a larger heating package and have it replaced?

My guess there is no difference, the economics just don't make sense. I've had my GX in -10F, did fine and I bought it in AZ where temps can exceed 115F.

You can always call Lexus Customer service.

That's my guess too and I hope it will be confirmed in about 6 months when the temperature drop.

This won't make it warmer inside, but might come in handy for the engine:

Thanks, will for sure have one installed but will get it in Sweden with the correct voltage.
