Recently purchased a CPO RX350 2008. It was advertised as AWD but there are no markings indicating that and not specified in owners manual. When I called to register it, the customer service rep couldn't tell if it was an AWD not by the vin. I remember reading previously that the H in the VIN indicated AWD and a G indicated a FWD, but this was for the RX330. Anybody know how to confirm by VIN if awd for the 350?

Thanks!

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.
