Lightbulb Drive Mode and Rear Height Control Options

Hi! I'm looking at buying a 2015-16 GX 460. I've noticed in some of them they have Drive Mode and Height Control switches. However, the model I test drove doesn't have these. I'm wondering if they're worth it to wait for. I might do some pretty tame off-roading and would like to be able to accelerate quickly on the highway, but no racing.

Also, are these rare options? I don't see many models for sale with these options. Will it be hard to find? For what it's worth, I'm looking the Luxury trim models.

Luxury models from 14+ should definitely have the top 2 and bottom right switches. The bottom left switch is for crawl control which can be added afterwards by buying the whole unit and switching it out.

@Acrad will be able to chime in with all the technical details as he was the first to jump into successfully getting crawl control to work.

Sometimes dealers will mix the luxury and premium models when they post them online.

For luxury models, you’ll have the heated steering wheel button located to the left of the steering wheel on the dash and the top two switches on the center console.

The premiums will have the features listed above missing.

Here's the best pictures I can find. The link is here: https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/JTJBM7FX4G5139245

Do you see them anywhere? Also, how can I verify that this is a Luxury trim?

No air suspension and no rear window chrome trim.... Not a Luxury.

If you are looking for Luxury trim you might as well look for one with Driver Support Package as well.
