4 wd or 2?
HI, people.
I own 00 LExus RX. my vin code is jt6gf1ouxy0072980 so it look like 4WD, but when i did smog test they put only front wheels to dynamo rolls, rear wheels were static.
How it can be?

I'm 99% sure you have front wheel drive not 4 wheel drive.

I would have to agree. If they thought it was AWD, they never would have put only the front wheels on the rollers. Do you have a driveshaft under the car?

Oh, well, you probably get better mileage than all of us AWD folks, and FWD should do just fine for you in California!!
