Default Was I the only 4GS owner unaware of the grocery bag holder

I was reading the Edmunds long-term drive of the 4GS and noticed this picture of the grocery bag holder in the trunk. I must have missed this in the manual and don't remember this being shown to me by Lexus at pickup.


Is this a feature that most on this forum knew about? Makes me wonder what other things I might still be missing

It's great for hanging stuff that would normally roll around on the trunk. I use it for 95% of the stuff that I put in my trunk.

I always use it when I get take outs...so no food smell inside the cabin.

Thanks for pointing it out. We've been using the cargo net.

Hey folks, couple of notes:

1) It has a weight limit, so definitely don't hang watermelons on a short bag... but it is meant to hang things on, have the bag sit on the ground and not let your goods roll around
2) Good call on the take-out. I get soup-type takeout often and used to put it on my passenger seat and hold it while I drive. Hanging it on there is golden.

No, you were not the only one. I learn something new every day. I have been using the cargo net for as many groceries as I can fit in. This is great to know. Thanks!
