Default How to tell if I have LSD?

Hey all! How do I tell if my car has a Torsten LSD? The RCF has a TVD button. Is there an easy way to tell if I have a LSD on my LC? I know it doesn’t have the performance package. Any help appreciated!

For me, it was included on the window sticker as an installed option. I do have the performance package option on my LC.

one day i hit a corner a little heavy, maybe 80 +, felt it cut loose just a tad, and then something grabbed, and limited the slip, and we nosed-down,
took off again ....what a rush

Contact your Lexus dealer. If you supply him (or her) your VIN he can pull up the original Monroney (Window sticker). It will be listed there.

Go to www.lexusdrivers.com and create a profile. Open your Vehicle page and
open the View Spec box. There will be all the original built equipment hopefully
including the LSD feature. Note: port or dealer installed items such as cargo nets,
mats, key gloves, 3M protective coatings will not show up here.

Agree.....Great source for most of the standard equipment and options installed on your vehicle, but not all.

Odd, I logged myself in before responding and std and options all showed up. Read the responses and tried
again with a fresh log in to find just the std features. Send me the VIN and I'll run it for you.
PS I'm going to be out of office until Mon 12/19

Tried on a few VIN checker sites and also the Lexus site, but nothing comes up for differential info.
Here's my VIN: JTHHP5AY7JA000958
