Why Icon over king or fox ?

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

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.

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

They made another one – it’s almost like Lexus is getting serious about this.

Hate to say it - but this one kinda screams posermobile to me:

There was a time when Lexus had a little more fun and a little less mall crawler.

I agree but I dig it.

For me it seems closer to this:

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

That 79 series is what dreams are made of!!!

pick one up used when they lose 20-30k value after the first year

For me it seems closer to this:

... as the owner squeals “Yay, I’m “overlanding!”” :lmao:

Then every moded truck is a posermobile. The main thing is does is remove what neuters the GX460 which is basically a LC Prada.

If it comes to be then I’m in.

Fair point.

I suppose my biggest reason for it being a bit of a posermobile is that Toyota already has a handful of other models that are better for the same purpose. They don't really need a "concept" of something that's a step down from what they already sell (for less $). They make a Land Cruiser 200 with an oem winch, OEM HD aluminum roof rack, factory winch mount, etc. that you can just buy off-the-shelf in much of the world vs maxing out the lift on the most street-oriented 150 platform model they make.

For Sema - the gx concept is great. It would fit in perfectly at an overland expo at the local fairgrounds. To me - it just doesn't look like a setup someone would choose who intends to go use it. For real-world use, a set of Prado plastics and a 1" lift would probably be better for almost every on and off road condition.
