most likely its not 4 wheel drive. most of not all loaners are fwd. you can tell by looking under the steering column. if there is a TRAC off button, then its FWD. If theres an empty space with a cover, then its AWD

Check the VIN....if it has "GA"....FWD.
For example:
Canada made: 2T2GA........is FWD 2T2HA.....is AWD
For Japan made: JTJGA.......is FWD JTJHA....is AWD

lol if there isnt a trac button, then it is infact awd. but...those are really rare as loaners. lol
last solution is to look under the car for the rear wheel drive shaft

My 2008 RX 350 has a Traction control and VSC off button and it is an AWD. Maybe it is different because it's the canadian model.

Just look under the rear bumper....
If there's a center differential and two half-shafts going to the wheels, it's AWD. If there aren't, it isn't.

do a burnout. if all 4 wheels light up well you got 4wheel drive.
