I literally bought one of these 10 days ago. The third row is very small, I can sit back there but it is not fun. Now, my family did some testing on this and you can adjust the second row to where it is comfortable and that gives just enough room in the third to be doable. This is for adults, with small kids it is even easier. No, you won't want to take it on a long road trip but for trips around town, it is very nice to have. I am happy with it for sure.

Actually, Toyota, Lexus and Honda all make luxury Minivans in other world markets. They are just not available in America. I wish it is. The only reason I don't like the New Sienna, Odyssey, Pacifica and Sedona is its louder and not as smooth as any Lexus SUV. I would buy a Lexus Minivan in a heartbeat.
If anyone wants to know, I’m a 5’ 10” teenager and the third row on the RXL was horrible. The entry into the third row was hard off the bat. For a person of my height it was a little bit of a jump to get in and a slide to get out. The second row was easy to slide forward bust hard to lock into place. With the second row in the furthest forward position, my legs fit just barely. I was surprised with all the room cut from the second row if you wanted to “use” the third row. For my headspace in the third row, it was worse. My head “fit” but was pushed up against the headliner. The size of the seat was “accommodating” though. I thought the power fold third row would be a great feature but it is suppppperrr annoying. If it’s not fully closed or open there is a “whine” that goes on foreverrr! It is also not one-touch so you have to hold the buttons for quite some time for it to do its thing. I would have preferred for it to be manual third row seats just to loose the whining. All in all the RXL is a great SUV amazing seats, huge screen, and stellar Lexus reliability and quality. The third row is definitely a good for emergency” seating ONLY for little kids. Oh yea and that $200 “hands free tailgate” thing is fun but useless, you have to hover your hand (only, I’ve tried shoulder etc.) above the Lexus logo parallel to the slant above it.
He most definitely did. You taught him well! Lol! I hope your back gets to feeling better, if not already. I know how that is. I hurt mine severely on a roller-coaster ride I really had no business being on when I was 14. I am now 32 and it has never been the same sense.
That's good. Yeah, it's a beast sometimes for me, I can't lift my self straight forward from off my back, I have to roll over and get up and if I get to cold, my whole mid-section locks up like I'm in a vice-grip. Very painful.
Another Awesome Review, Love watching all your videos. If at all possible can you do a video on the 2018 Subaru Forester...it has no rear climate control but overall it seems to be a fun vehicle with some neat tricks.
Lexus’s use of space in this vehicle was absolutely abysmal. I was impressed by the front seats but when you got to the second and third row and the cargo area, I was appalled at how impractical and uncomfortable it is compared to the Acura MDX
Wow, did Lexus even think out how to implement the 3rd row? Four generations of RX to get this for a 3rd row RX? Super disappointed that my '99 RX300 won't get replaced any time soon, and my '10 MDX will ride again...
I like the car but, they should have skipped the third row in favour of a luxury second row. Better off with a Lx460 or whatever they call their larger suv. Nice job doing the bulk of this review Mason.
I was really hoping to replace my 09 Highlander Limited with this model. But agree with you there. The 3rd row is horrendous, and second row felt very "plain" for a luxery vehicle. Looking at the XC90 or Q7 now.
Why is there absolutely no space behind the third row. Anyway, I just got my car serviced today, and I was looking at the 2018 Toyota Sequoia Platinum. I beg you to do a review on it. It now has LED Low and High Beams, LED Daytime running lights, and LED Turn Signals. So Please do a review on it. Make sure it is not the base SR5, make sure it is the Platinum Model. Get it as loaded as you can, so your can show off its features. Believe me I have seen them. So I beg you please?
Hey Tyler! It's definitely on the agenda my man! Our dealer has several in stock, so we'll see if we can scrape together enough time to film it! Thanks for being patient!
As soon as you are inside and driving it (we bought the RX 350)....all goes out the window about how the front grill looks. We test drove several crossovers, and the Lexus blew them all out of the water w/ the silky smooth ride, and luxury interior features....all safety features you could ever want are standard,and with just a couple upgrades beyond base....it's absolutely incomparable to others in this class. This car drives itself...the cabin is ridiculously quiet to top it all off. I'll trade the grill for a true luxury experience.

I love the logical placement of the rear climate controls… *in the third row*
I just wish that all the luxury brands would make a mini van just as a concept for fun.

Can you please make a 2018 lexus rx350l vs the 2018 toyota highlander video?
That's a great idea! We'll add that to the list!
Awesome review and mind blowing luxury SUV Thanks
You're very welcome! Glad ya liked it :)

Lol now imagine me a 6' teen I would not take it.
Great job on the interior Review Mason, keep up the good work! Way to always support Drew, it's definitely a welcomed sight to see.
Thanks! I tweaked my back, so Mason decided to give the interior a shot so I wouldn't have to twist and turn. I think he did a great job!
-Drew

Oh that sucks! Mine feels mostly better now!
That's good. Yeah, it's a beast sometimes for me, I can't lift my self straight forward from off my back, I have to roll over and get up and if I get to cold, my whole mid-section locks up like I'm in a vice-grip. Very painful.
Wow that sounds terrible!! I sure hope mine heals up good!
does anyone know where the RXL is made in japan? specifically which plant? its seems like a hidden secret that nobody knows.
I just bought a 2018 RXL with 140K miles on it, and my vin starts with J so definitely somewhere in Japan would be nice to know
@@bruce9063 All RX350L are made in the Fukuoka, Japan plant.

Thank ya! We actually already reviewed the 2018 Forester back in the summer, so you should be able to find it in the Full Review playlist!
Although the RX350 wins on the interior side, the MDX is still a better choice when it comes to ride, driving dynamics, size, and exterior styling.
Have you had issues with it before since you started using it

I'm surprised that neither the 2017 nor the 2018 RX350 has either Apple Car Play or Android. I Lexus/Toyota that far behind most other upscale SUV's?

16:18 he’s in the back on his phone lol
I hate how the cruise control stock is the same as the one in my old 2001 corolla
nice review
12:15 that spot can have a wireless phone charger 🔌
How much b Lexus 350l
🚀🚀🔥
thanks for the review, good one. but I after see this, I decided to go with MDX.
You're very welcome! Glad we could help!
I believe the MDX requires high octane fuel, so you will spend more filling your tank than with the RX!!!
Roger Smoot it is recommended but NOT required.
@@rogersmoot6194 I only put 87 in my '15 MDX. Runs fine. Have probably logged 40-50k miles so far and it runs great.
MDX is still the best 3 row crossover.
Todd Medium Wellington III stop smoking shit!
Wade Higgins how do you smoke shit?
Um..... not sure about that! I test drove the the rx 350 and mdx and the Mdx was like driving a Mitsubishi. I went for the rx
T. Edwards ouch.....lol
Correction: 12:15
Taillights lerng old school
The front is so ugly. It used to be my favorite luxury crossover. Now I'd buy anything else.

I love Toyota, but the RX just simply isnt made for a third row.
2018 Lexus phone system
Lol the corny sound affects r funny
I like sienna better 😂😂😂
acura killed TL the same way as Lexus want to kill RX
What no LED turn signals, no thanks I’ll get the Audi or Acura
Pure Life there is led turn signal but you have to pay for the full led headlights.
Pure Life That’s the stupidest reason for why you’re not buying this car
So you will also get incredibly poor reliability with Audi? Have fun.
I'll stick with the Infiniti due to the third row is so small I'll wouldn't even have my worst enemy go there
The front of this car is ugly 🙈
Just a stupid marketing idea to have 3rd row seat. What an idiot lexus....
