Does the RX450h have a accessory power outlet in the rear cargo area?
Also do the 2013 RX450h's have blind spot monitors?
I have got conflicting info from two different sales persons on each of the above questions.
Thanks

Blind spot monitors are options on the luxury and premium packages (ie there are two versions of both optional packages). No one has the blind spot monitor yet... It is not available until "summer" according to the web and press release. Info is pretty clear on the web and hardcopy brochure, as well as if the dealer tries ordering a vehicle. At least a couple of folks here have already indicated they have orders in with the blind spot monitor for delivery late summer/september timeframe.

I do not know the answer to the power outlet. Perhaps someone has a 2013 rx450h already that can reply, otherwise, ask your Salesperson to get to the service dept on Tuesday and have them look it up in TIS for you... It should be in the parts diagrams clearly enough. If you can't wait for that reply, you can get access yourself to TIS for $15 for 2-day access, and find it in the service manuals and diagrams there.

BTW, welcome to the forum and good luck with your decision!

Welcome to CL.

As Bert indicated, blind spot monitor is available with versions of the Premium and Luxury packages. They're not shipping with currently delivered models but can be built into new orders for delivery later this summer. (I'm one of the folks who's ordered one equipped thus.)

According to the 2103 RX brochure, both the 350 and 450h have "Accessory power outlet in front center stack, front console box and rear cargo area".
