I don't like it also
Please tell me there is a way to open the rear liftgate by pushing the button in the rear? I know you can open it by power from inside and remote but for some reason not the rear button?? It makes no sense to me. My wife never takes the remote out of her purse so it seems silly to have to dig in your purse to find the remote.
I have Lx 570 2017 and I am very disappointed about opening the lift gate manually
i used to have Armada and it will open automatically

The operation is 2 step
1. Release -- may have to unlock, but the holding mechanism has to let go of the hatch.
2. Lift -- once released, a way to open it fully.
1 & 2 are built into the remote-keyFOB
If you release by putting a hand on the release lever/button a very gentle force is needed to lift the hatch up [hopefully it is balanced].
Granted an improvement can be done by combining 1 & 2 by another means ... like toe operated sensor ... no hands are needed.

My 2011 RX350 had to be programmed with a dealer type computer to open the rear door automaticall by pushing the button under the chrome bar. It is a dealer programmable option.

It can be customized to power lift the tailgate when manually pressing on the pad on the tailgate (and obviously stepping backwards away from the car).
See this document for full details of this customization and others: http://www.lexus.com/pdf/service/RX350_LPS.pdf

Somewhat related, if everything is locked and you walk up to the lift gate with the key in your pocket and push the lift gate button, are the doors or atleast the lift gate suppose to unlock? I don't believe mine does and always thought it should.

Lift Gate - Confirmation
Tdott - I have not tried that yet, but on another note, I DID confirm that the 2011 RX350 lift gate button right above the license plate (when pressed) IS supposed to automatically raise the lift gate. I took my Lexus to the dealership and they reprogrammed it so that the lift gate now opens automatically by pressing the lift gate button above the license plate.

FYI, I need to replace my struts, so I contacted my Lexus parts department ($269.58 per side) and decided to see if I could get the parts at a lower price elsewhere. They gave me these part numbers which I thought I'd share ...
