Why It’s Curated: We are big fans of Lexus GX470s as they bring a nice combo of legendary quality, enough but not too much luxury, serious off-road capability, and on-road comforts to use as a daily. This particular vehicle builds on these traits with uprated mechanicals like King shocks, a S.O.S. 6-piston big brake kit on the front, Icon Vehicle Dynamics wheels, Long Range America Auxiliary fuel tank, and more. Add in the camping creature comforts like the iKamper Sky Camp roof top tent, Rhino Bat Wing awning (which is both functional and very cool looking when opened), and Goose Gear camp system, and you have a vehicle that’s ready to take you anywhere. Baja? Yep. Mountains? Yep. Argentina? Sure, why not, let’s go.
