Northland Special is just another trim option, nothing really special about it.

I'm not sure, but I always thought the Northland package was designed for a colder climate. It would come with high output heater, engine heater, bigger battery, bigger radiator and stronger antifreeze.

Northland Special has NOTHING to do w/ model or trim. The Northland Special Pkg option includes engine block heater, -35 degree antifreeze, 68 amp-hr battery, 60 amp alternatior and limited slip rear axle
