To the shock of many, Lexus‘ new GX debuted with a radical new design, one which was a lot boxier and extra rugged than its extra refined predecessor. That appears to have impressed digital designer Theottle to think about the muscular SUV as a pickup truck.

The redesign began with the elimination of the rear door’s reduce strains and handles, adopted by the deletion of the gasoline door and roof rack. Seeing as this new GX rides on the identical TNGA-F platform as the brand new Toyota Tacoma, the truck was overlaid on high of the GX to get the pickup proportions good, then the rear finish was shifted again barely to get the correct overhang. Theottle then deleted the cargo space and moved what was as soon as the D-pillar to kind a cab. Lastly, a tonneau cowl was digitally put in to cap out of bed, and the rear doorways have been added again in to work with the brand new proportions.
