  1. AWD Alignment with Lane Assist Camera RX 450h F Sport 2020: Purchased new Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires today at a tire store. I asked if they could perform an alignment and they indicated no, they couldn’t. Their reason is, my model has the lane assist feature and camera below the front Lexus emblem; the tire dealer said they would love to have provided a free alignment (comes with the tire purchase), but they didn’t have the computer plug-in to reset the lane-assist component. The tire dealer indicates when you perform an alignment on a vehicle which has “Lane Assist” that system must reset it after completing the alignment, or it would mess up the vehicle. The tire dealer said I would need to have an alignment performed at either a Lexus or Toyota dealer. I’d be interested in hearing what others have experienced with this issue.
  2. Well, Jim, Maybe it’s because you’re not driving a Lexus now? 🤷‍♂️ But instead, you’re Now driving a Toyota Sienna Limited with all options - the "Geezer Bus", according to your profile. My initial reply to the author’s post was meant for him, and not Jim. 😂
  3. @ 1990SLS400: My dealer’s Master Mechanic was accurate. You are building a STANDARD 2020 450h. I ordered a 2020 450h F Sport; the difference being “F SPORT”. The F Sport model already includes the: HEAVY-DUTY RADIATOR AND COOLING FAN AND ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION OIL COOLERS. Try building the F Sport model, and you will not find a Tow Prep Package.
  4. I custom ordered a 2020 RX 450h (not the “L” version). NOTE: I ordered the “F Sport” version. During the ordering process (about18 months ago), I specifically asked about towing because I needed it. The inventory manager at the dealer had a Lexus Master Mechanic come out and talk to me. He indicated the 2020 450h did not need any additional package for towing. In fact, every time I go to the Lexus website to “design my own” 2020 450h F Sport, there is no option that appears to add a tow package; My tow load is not large: I have a fiberglass tow-behind camper, which weighs 1,500 pounds fully loaded. I’ve experienced no issues during my trips, although I’ve only been on a couple trips towing. I hope my information helps.
  5. I own a 2020 RX 450h F Sport, which I custom-ordered and received delivery in November, 2019. The SUV is awesome! I installed (myself) the appropriate two hitch, and then had a professional tow/trailer business install the 7-pin tow wiring harness. My question is regarding backing-up [in reverse] with my small camper attached (being towed behind) by RX. When I towed behind my Prius and needed to backup/in reverse, and the camper attached, the rear sensors kept braking unnecessarily, thinking the Prius was about to hit or strike an object. No matter how slow I backed-up in reverse, the Prius' rear sensors kept activating, causing the vehicle to brake (and display the STOP warning screen). Can anyone who owns an RX (any year model) who tows, describe how to keep the sensors from braking, when in "reverse" at a slow speed and towing something behind it?
