Look at the rear axle. With driveshaft=awd Without driveshaft=2wd

I am considering 2006-2009 Lexus RX330 with awd. The only situation I would need the awd is when we go to our cabin which has a slighly steep incline to get up. I have a 4runner 4x4 now and have to use the 4wd high to get up. Once I forgot to put it in 4wd and the rear spun for several seconds then finally got up, just to give you an idea of the incline. No loose gravel mostly rock and dirt, little muddy in the rainy season. I read somewhere about the later models having a snow button or lock that you could press. All I need in my 4runner is the 4wd button to get up... never have to touch the seperate 4wd H/lo stick.
