Quick question for the LX450/Toyota crowd:
Does anyone know "why" the LX450’s driver-side rear slider only opens in one direction, while the same window on the Toyota version opens both ways? There to be a reason for the design change—it seems like such a strange tweak between the two models.
Anyone have insight on this? Curious minds want to know—it’s just such an odd thing to change.
