I like it. Didn't read the details but I know these are luxury and its great to see Toyota/Lexus build something like this.

Even if I don’t buy one, I really like that they are doing this… it’s going to raise awareness to the platform and hopefully accelerate aftermarket support which is lacking in the GX when compared to the 4Runner.

The GX is just so heavy. I don't think cutting 1000lbs is impossible and it would make an enormous difference in capability. A stock GX is only 200lb lighter than a 4x4 Tahoe. Lexus/Toyota needs to start considering weight as part of the formula.

I definitely agree on that one. The Prado 150 adventure package comes with the 40 gallon dual tank setup. The GX could really use extra range. Although so could the 4Runner.

Sponsorship. It's not secret that the XO crew has a working relationship with certain brands, Icon being one of them.

Agreed. All it takes is relocating that spare tire to the rear to make room for the tank

Nope. It’ll cost $150k and still look like a cartoon truck off Alien vs Predator.
