Does 2013 GX460 have 4WDLo?

[MrTom]

It might me time to move my 2003 4Runner 4WD V-8 and I definitely want another full time 4WD V-8. I see that the 2013 GX460 has no apparent transfer lever for 4WDLo or dial on the dash.

Does the current GX460 have a method to shift to 4WDLo?
If not what is the last year that has that option?

Cannot find any info in the forum, the nice brochure Lexus sent me, from the dealer who is 250+ miles away or online searches. If I missed it somewhere I apologize.

Thanks

I'm not sure what kind of switchware is uses, but I've found several mentions of a low range on the GX460 in a couple google searches:

"Shift the transmission into Low Range, and you can use Crawl Control, which uses the throttle and brakes to keep the vehicle moving at one of five pre-set controlled rates, either forward or reverse, freeing you up to concentrate on steering the GX on the best lines."

I can tell you the GX470 is mechanically the same as your 4runner, and still uses a lever transfer case.

Thanks for the info. I am hoping that someone who actually has a 2013 GX or knows specifically if or how a shift to 4WDLO is done will respond. The sales rep on the phone was clueless and attempted double talking me away from the queston.

It has a switch next to the shift lever, picture 43 of 75.
