Do you literally mean "carfax"? Carfax (https://www.carfax.com/) (like CarProof (https://www.carproof.com/)) is not Toyota's system, and I have no reason to expect Toyota (dealers, or Toyota Canada)...

The Alberta and BC scales are all electronic, too... they just leave them on, but with no access to the printer. They have big displays placed so that the truck driver can read them, and that's what...
