on a 2012 RX350, when you set the 4 x 4 in lock position is it truly in 4 wheel drive or is it in AWD on demand.

Asked by Mick Mar 21, 2017 at 09:54 PM about the 2012 Lexus RX 350 AWD

Question type: General

I want to take the vehicle on access roads in Sedona AZ that lead to trails
which can have some large rocks. I tried driving this road with a Ford Edge
AWD and it didn't work.

The Lexus is an AWD which should not be confused with 4 wheel drive. If you want to run the trails get a real 4x4 such as a pick up or a Wrangler.
