This story consists of independently made renders that aren’t associated to or endorsed by Lexus.

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.

Transferring to the rear, the Tacoma was used as soon as once more as a proportional reference and the method from earlier than was repeated. The cargo space and roof rack have been eliminated, the wheelbase was prolonged, then the D-pillar was shifted to kind the again of the cab. Essentially the most notable change got here to the SUV-turned-truck’s taillights, which acquired a vertical ingredient at every finish of the sunshine bar to border off the tailgate. After including parts from Tacoma’s rear bumper, the design was completed.

Not like another speculative renderings on the market, we don’t suppose there’s even a distant likelihood that Lexus finally ends up making a car like this, but when they did, we wouldn’t complain if it regarded something like these renderings.
