How can I tell if 4Runner has X-REAS

I recently purchased a used V6 2005 Limited 4WD 4Runner. How can I determine if it has X-REAS?

Look at your shocks, if they have a hydraulic line coming out of them, you have X-REAS.

Sfa?

What does SFA stand for and what does it do?

I thought that x-reas was specific to the sport edition model only?

Over simplified it is a hydraulic fluid based suspension system that helps with stability.
