Default Power folding rear seats

Hi,
I'm told by my dealer that this option is very hard to locate.....anyone else have this? Was it hard to find?

It was included on my RX Luxury. Work well in my opinion. Some might call it frivolous but it is pretty nice when trying to load something long in the cargo area and you just touch a button to open up way more space.

Isn't there a lever in the back that does that too if you didn't have the power option?

Yep. Two levers on the right side of the cargo area to fold down the seats.

Does the lever fold them back up?

No...so I guess that's the only advantage. Save a whole minute.

Depending on the speed of the power seats vs you, it may be faster just to push it back up.

I have the power back seats in mine. It's probably just another "cool" feature to show off more than it being a must have thing.

It appears as these cannot be ordered with a 350 F Sport. Strange.

That's interesting because it says on the dealer sheet that the 350 don't have that as an option. Only the 450s.

Might be reeading that wrong as I have seen several 2016 RX350 with the power seats, most due to the Luxury package. Most of the RX450H units have few of the options that I wanted and the dealer told me it would be special order.
