Congrats

Really great looking one. What color is this? Looks very similar to mine.
regarding remote starter, don't premiums come with it by default? Mine is lux and came with it by default, maybe try to quickly press twice the lock button then press & hold for 3 seconds, in case you already have it.

Thanks!
The colour is called "Knights Armor Pearl", code 1H3.
I like the external colour, but not so much the Ecru interior. It shows any blemishes so easily. I guess can't have it all!

I already checked and it has no remote starter. The previous owner bought the truck new and she said there was none, and I also tried the key fob without luck.
I think I may just place an order for a kit and install it. Too bad the cheaper kits from Ebay are no longer available :-(

I think remote start option also shows up when you lookup vehicle on the Lexus VIN site on vehicle build

yes it does. I think it’s a port installed option.

I also gave a 14 with the same exterior color. I like it a lot. Looks dark silver in some light and has a tan hue to it in other light.

I looked up the VIN and it does not mention a remote starter

Totally agree, I have OEM remote and you have to literally see the truck and be within 75 feet. I would opt for aftermarket with much better distance.
