I just bought a one owner 2005, 53,000 original miles, she’s mint! I enjoy all of these hidden features, I didn’t know it had all of them. Most comfortable car I’ve ever owned. Enjoying it for years to come. -Stephen, Ohio 🇺🇸
Hey man, idk if you'll see this comment but if you do what part of Ohio are you in? Do you still have your Lexus? I bought mine about 2-3 months ago from a guy in Holland Ohio right outside of Toledo. 👍
The blue in the emlem is for the hybrids. My 06' rx400h has the blue and its JDM. Also my passenger seat is 10 way adjustable as well. Also the US keys work the windows the same way.
Shift into electric break mode (B) and drive around untill the battery is fully charged. It will display the battery charged green 🔋. Then the truck takes off fast AF! Blows the doors off a lot of cars lolol even the new range rovers 2020. Lol I just raced the new 2020 dodge truck (6mpg v8) and my rx400 was just as fast with the battery charged full. And I'm still getting 23 mpg driving like an asshole if I want. Amazing truck for real, one of the best Lexus has ever made. Gratz on your purchase
@@osasjohn3547 I just seen one go for 10k clean...black on black it looked nice....it's rare to see them for sale...it was gone the next day b4 I could go look at it lol
Perfect English, friend! I just bought another 2009 RX 350 in the color that I originally wanted (Brandywine Mica) and with 40K fewer miles on it. Hardly a rock ding anywhere on it. I did try to insert a DVD and it came back with "Error" so assuming mine won't play DVD's. I also tested the DVD on my Bamboo Pearl RX and again, error. I love the quality of this model and ONLY changed because I really can't stand the Bamboo Pearl colors (it turns six different colors according to the sun/shade). Brandywine rides stiffer (so far) than Bamboo. 2009 is the last model with the 5-speed overdrive and the open space between the console and the dash, which is another reason I won't buy beyond the 2009 model. LOVE the "secret features" and did not know about them. Great video.
Really good video. After watching this video and driving my brother rx400h I want to buy this car even more. And your English is fine ✌🏻😆 keep up good work show us more hidden secrets about the cars
Your English is good and an excellent video thank you from an Englishman. I had a 2007 RX450h for a few years, loved it so I changed it for a GX450h which is a great car but I am going to go back to the RX soon as I miss the height. Thanks again.
Mine just hit 200k driving on Michigan roads! I'm sure I'll get half a million miles on it at least with good oil and maintenance, some seafoam b4 oil changes, and premium synthetic oil with a bit of additive. I got this SUV to drive my bulldogs around...I instantly fell in love with the truck and started to drive it daily. Now when my muscle car is in the garage...I'm rolling in the Lexus 😂
@@AbcAbc-sp1od No but I did have to put in a brake actuator a couple of years ago....cost about $3500! I had to replace the hybrid battery in my Prius when it was at 150K, but the Lexus battery is still strong at 277K now!
The only one I would truly consider 'secret' is the last, and the only useful option I found would be the second. But, I can tell you really tried here and I can appreciate that.
Excellent! Thank you for your very good English. I did not know these features. I have a 2007 RX400h. I bought it last year (2019). For such a luxury car, it has only used up half of its life. I have had no problems until now, but a silly little problem has occurred. I had my tyre pump plugged into the cargo bay power socket. The pump faulted and blew the fuse, but I wasn't sure, so I tried it in the driver's power outlet (not the cig lighter). The pump functioned for a second, and the fuse blew (there is no power. I tested with a meter). But, the Power Outlet No. 1 fuse under the glove box seems OK. I can not find the fuse for the Cargo bay power outlet. Mystery, and no help on line, or in the manual!

@@upalanko if it's a hybrid... the best way to tell the difference between '08/'09 and older models is that the '08-'09 have chrome plated exterior door handles, '07 and older have body colored handles...that's the case for the US models, not sure about the European models..
@@GarretRowden yes, the blue coloured emblem is the post lifting feature, my 400h from 2005 has a standard silver Lexus emblem and no 'Hybrid' printed on the rear passenger doors on both sides, which is the case for all the post lifting models. Also the infotainment screen has older graphics than the 2008 one.
The blue lexus emblem I believe is only on the 2008 model of the RX400H. I have a 2006 and while my lexus emblem is just silver, my RX400H badge is blue. Great tips and tricks!
#3, most probably because of Hybrid variant. On my RX350 2008 only silver logo and silver letters & numbers. #4 not for EU variant only, US variant has those features as well, but probably as an extra option.
I had no idea I could play a video on that car and I've had it for 14 years. Jeesh! I didn't know about the extended seat either. All those times I wanted to nap on a long trip. Who knew? By the way, I LOVE my Lexus and will never get rid of it. I won't even get a new one - prefer the feel of the old one better - a real cream puff.
I have a lexus rx330 2005 same color but I've had a problem put key in no sound nothing headlights working and dashlights working going to garage tomorrow it has 185thousand miles but I only paid 6300.I had timing belt waterpump coil and sparkplugs replaced costs 1298.80

@@upalanko thank you man... are you going to make some full test of your car in the future? I would really appreciate it... honestly I am thinking about rx400h 2008 or x450h 2009+
Hey mate! Do you think it's easy and possible to have the side marker lights enabled in the EU model? I can see the US model has a orange part and includes a side marker below the blinker light. I can see mine has a cristal kind of reflector instead the orange one but it looks like it has the space for the bulb. Much appreciated

If you drive a car you should be responsible for anything you are doing, i don't recommend anyone to drive and watch videos at the same time but i also don't think that your passenger shouldn't be able to watch something on a long trip while yoy drive....
Didn’t know about watching a movie, making a bed out of the seats and the windows, thanks! You really speak english good man!!!!👍🏽
I remember in 2010 it was my girlfriend's father's car, when she went out with this, we made the bedroom inside, very comfortable car

Correct, 2007, 2008 have blue emblems. 2006 400h has standard silver emblems.

very very nice

Can you post a video on how to replace the tail light led bulbs ?
The dude at Auto zone said I would need to replace the whole tail light
This may be true because there arent any bulbs, those are led tail lights, i have already sold this car sorry
Dont forget its possible to slide the center console and back seat

Blue stained Lexus/toyota emblems are for all hybrid models
Hello from Scotland btw
my back seat wont click when moving the top back, its going way back, how can i fix
The blue on the lexus emblem doesn't have to do with the year it just means it's a hybrid.
But its present only on 2008 facelift hybrids
Blue is for hybrid. Plain and simple.
I thinking about to buy an Lexus RX 400H. What is the common problem with the car ?
its just hybrid version.
No real problems. Just basic maintenance and that’s it. My RX 400h has done 410000 kms. I use it every day and I never had more reliable car.
