The RX350 is not really AWD as you/we might need it to be here in this area. For that matter neither is the RX400h, truly AWD that is. But the 400h comes out on top of the two insofar as AWD capability is concerned. The RX350 AWD is quite firmly FWD in normal operational conditions, 95/5 F/R, and can make use of tire chains ONLY on the front wheels absent an aftermarket modification.
That is incorrect. Please research before you post info like that. What you say maybe true to something like a CRV but not RX350.
"The RX 350's all-wheel-drive system drops the previous solid center differential, which relied on the traction-control system to shift power between the front and rear wheels. In its place is a limited-slip viscous coupling device that Lexus says offers quicker response. Under normal situations, power is split 50-50 between front and rear wheels; if slippage occurs, additional power can be sent to the front or back."
