Default Side mirrors go down in reverse?

Do both mirrors go down evenly when car is put in reverse! My passenger side goes down further then driver side.

Thanks - Sid

Link doesn't answer my question. The driver moves back up to original spot but definitely doesn't point to the curb like passenger side does.

This is normal, al GXs do this.

Lexus was initially going to replace my mirror under warranty, but after researching this further, it appears this is by design. Both myself and tech looked at five different GX470 at the dealership lot to see if that's true. Apparently it is, every single GX has mirrors designed that way with passenger mirror going down further.
