A V6 is a naturally balanced motor and therefore does not need or utilize balance shafts. I4 motors are not naturally balanced so some come with balance shafts, but not all. Even Toyota differs on this, the 3rz 2.7 had balance shafts while the 2rz 2.4 did not.

Actually, an I6 is a naturally balanced motor, and a 90* V8 can be balanced with proper weight on the crank, but a V6 is not. It's close though, which is why you can get away without a balance shaft.
