Differentil Switch On My1007 Lx 450


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I had a 1997 LX450 that I loved.

The vehicle was totaled and I bought another 1997 LX450.

My question is this: The latest 1997 LX 450 has a switch to the left of the steering wheel on the dash that says differential switch.

My other 1997 did not have this switch on the dashboard.

The latest vehicle did not have the owners manual with it .I checked on line and it seems the only options you could get in 1997 was the sunroof and the running boards, trailer package etc which this vehicles has.

Was this differential an option??

How does this vehicle differ from the other 1997 LX 450 I owned?

All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Vin P

Oh...goodness...

What you have are the coveted Locking Differentials. I say coveted because if you plan on doing any kind of serious off-road traveling in your 450, you'll want those.

The link in the previous post should provde sufficient information about locking differentials, but if you have any questions, please post them.

Also - if you register your LX 450 on the www.lexus.com page in the owners section, Lexus will send you an owner's manual free of charge. You'll need to enter your VIN to register.
