I wonder if TMPS will show each tire pressure or just low pressure icon in model ES350 2013 ?

Yes, on the 2013 ES, the tire pressure monitor shows the pressure on all 4 tires.

2013 ES shows each tire (except the spare) unlike earlier models which just showed the low tire icon.

yes it does.

Mine shows the tire pressures on all five tires, spare included.

Interesting, I found this:

Tire inflation pressure
Displays inflation pressure of each tire
For the vehicles with a full-size spare tire: The inflation
pressure of the spare tire will be displayed.

It seems you need to have a full size spare to see the pressure in it.

the salesperson at the lexus dealer told me that no 2013 ES shipped with a full size spare, due to trunk room issues with the redesign. Were they giving me erroneous information?

IDK. A while back, I posted a thread asking whether to include the full spare in the tire rotation, and it seemed nobody else had a full spare tire in their 2013

It's probably a country option. No full size spares in the US, but apparently you get one in Guam.

hmmm interesting. I imagine it will be an option they add mid-run(US), to make it look like an improvement. I think you couldn't get a full size spare in the 2007-2012 model until the mid-cycle refresh in 2010?

I did find a pdf in google that lists a full-size spare as an option for the 2013 ES, so must be correct about the country option.

FWIW the full size spare was an option on the 2007+ ES350. I had it on a 2007 as well as a 2010.

ah cool. When I bought my 2011, the salesperson told me something about full size spares, but I can't quite remember what it was. Mb they were standard after 2010? I looked at a couple 2008's before making my purchase, and neither had full-size spares, but the 2011 did.

I've always thought all Lexus had full-size spare considering the brand image, but I guess not. I wouldn't want to be driving my Lexus with a donut (no offense to anyone).

But yeah, being on Guam, it's not practical to special-order a vehicle with all the specific features you'd want, cost to ship the vehicle being the most prohibitive issue. So we're pretty much stuck with what's available in the dealer lot, and the (only) dealer here will not order a vehicle with features that won't get much use or value (e.g. lane change assist). On the ES, for example, there are only about three different option setups to choose from (base, luxury, and ultra-luxury). All the other extras have been pre-determined by the dealer.
