You have the premium or premium plus package. If you have the plus it should have the adaptive HID system. Either way looks like that car has HIDs

Since that car has heated seats there is a good chance it has rain sensing wipers

It does not have the 5 speed sequential shift so it couldn't be a sports package which includes air suspension

HD=heavy duty

it definitely has the 18" wheels - early design with the notches in them - the 17" wheels were smooth between the spokes the 18" had notches or indentations in them. Can't tell about the headlights since there is no clear head-on shot. Why not call a Lexus USA headquarters and ask them what package it has, you have the VIN.

I may be totally wrong but isn't there a web site you can go to and enter your VIN number and it will tell you exactly what options that vehicle has? I'm going on hearsay and haven't searched for it so I don't know for sure. Might be worth a search on google, etc. or maybe a call to a dealer would help.

No. There is some information associated with the VIN, however, there is a limit to the information associated with the VIN and not to the level you are talking about. Only the manufacturer knows how each vehicle is equipped coming off the line and they do not share that information readily.

Lexus dealers has the system to pull up what package the car based on VIN. But the car was not in a Lexus dealership....

Agreed. Just not something you can google and find the information online. You have to go to a dealer or to corporate for the info.

I just bought a 2004 RX330. I had the same question as the original poster, wanting to know what package / trim I have? Mine has auto wipers, single glass sunroof, leather, heated seats, AWD, ect snow button, 6 disc / cassette stereo. Also, how do I check if I have the towing package?

Look at the bottom of your back bumper if there is a tow slot

AWD will have an 'H' in the VIN number, or a 'G' for FWD in about the 4th or 5th or so character position or so.

The tow package consists of HD radiator, HD alternator and transmission cooler. Easiest way to tell is look for the trans cooler in, I believe, the right front wheel well, if not the right, the left. It is a finned box.

Left front; there's a hole in the bumper for the air to get in and with a flashlight you can see the aux cooler. Other than that...

can also go to lexus.com, under owner resources, send inquiry by providing vin and asking what option packages were included. I did this with a car I purchased before I decided to buy and was able to get the info.

Ok, so I don't have a receiver for a hitch, or any hole in the bumper, but I do have the vent on the drivers side lower bumper and there is a trans cooler in there (looks like a small radiator). So does this mean I do have the tow package? Btw this is an 04 AWD rx330
