how can you tell the diffrence between the aws and rws isx50?

 

Awd only comes in 250. And it has a Awd badge on the back. Also has different wheels.

 

*awd and rwd

 

what if the car didn't come with a AWD badge?

 

btw, its a automatic

 

Curious. Did you buy the car already and you dont know if its awd or rwd?

 

sadly, yes

 

I highly doubt its a awd if it doesnt have the emblem badge. What year is it. Does it have stock or aftermarket wheels?

 

i live in hawaii, and i have never seen a AWD badge, so just wondering. it's a 09. and thats the reason im asking. im looking for aftermarket wheels

 

um ... wow ....

I agree w/ dangy .... don't think its a AWD if it doesn't have the emblem on the back ...

 

oh, since you have never seen it, this is what it looks like

 

Another way to tell:

the AWD has a dramatic "intrusion" of the driver's floorboard rearward from the gas pedal due to the transfer case/front diff/whatever
the RWD, on the other hand, does not

 

so, that means i can be safe to say i have a RWD is250. does this go the same for exausts too?

 

Welcome to Club Lexus

Being its an 09, I'm sure if it were AWD it would say so.

But just in case here are some rambling thoughts:

Crawl under the front and just look for the front transaxle.

You could pop open the hood and if its an all wheel drive vehicle there will be a yellow caution sticker with a AWD emissions warning.

You could also check the window sticker or sales slip for the car. If all else fails just sign into the Lexus owners website and it will decipher you VIN and tell your what you have.

Good Luck

 

Smaller brakes and the infamous transfer case bump near the gas pedal are dead giveaways.
