It will never be -30C in Florida. But Toyota probably doesnt want to confuse people and figure people in using the cheapest 5w20. 5W20 will retain more of its lubrication ability at a higher temp than 0W20.

In your manual it also says conventional can he used. So they take the easier route of that the cheapest 0w20 is better than the cheapest 5w20. So for towing or warmer temperatures or long distance driving when the engine is at full operating temperature it will have a probably marginal benefit over the 0W20.
