Is This the Lexus Pick-up Truck No One’s Been Waiting for?

The Lexus LX is living, driving proof that the marque knows how to make a bomb-proof SUV. So why couldn’t they make a bomber truck? A bomber, luxury truck!

Remember when Toyota first tried to enter the American truck market? Some pretty mean stuff was said by some very short-sighted people. But that didn’t stop Toyota from proving everyone wrong.

So what’s to stop Toyota’s sibling company from doing the same thing?

In case you’ve never thought of such a concept, the guys over at CarScoops have. And they’re calling it the Lexus LXT. As you can see in the rendering above, they’ve melded a Toyota Tacoma body with the front fascia of the Lexus LX. And it looks… kinda cool?

But don’t get caught up on aesthetics just yet. CarScoops went to all the trouble of creating the render to illustrate the point that Lexus could be a big-time player in the full-size luxury pick-up U.S. market.

“I think that those very same people who purchase a top spec Tundra, Silverado, F-150 and so on, would be the same people who would appreciate a luxury pick-up. Imagine a genuinely premium interior in a pick-up truck for the first time, wouldn’t that be something?”

So, what do you think, do they have a point?
