Hi, Apart from the dealers words, is there any way to know if my rx350 is AWD? Normally, on few suv's they mention it on the vehicle as "AWD" if it's an All-wheel-Drive, but Lexus doesn't. Is there anyway to check if my Lexus is AWD? Replies to this message: la4mead (Jan 13, 2009 10:45 am)

Replying to: prik (Jan 13, 2009 10:28 am) Personally, I applaud the lack of stuck-on badges and graphics. But if you didn't buy the vehicle new (check your window sticker) then check your VIN. I'm not sure about 350 models, but several characters in on the 300's a "G" was 2WD and an "H" was 4WD. It's likely the same for all Lexus models. Also, if you can look under the rear, the absence of a driveshaft and rear differential is a pretty good indicator it's 2WD . If there's a driveshaft down the middle leading to a rear differential that distributes power via shafts with black boots to the rear wheels, that's your 4WD.
