I guess the Lexus P/U would compete with the Lincoln and Cadi high end pick ups.
Don't know how much of a market there would be though

So i guess this is a big fat NO 
I guess it wouldn't make sense.... Your not going to put a piece of wood sticking out of a lexus luxury PU with red tape on it are you.... I don't think so.... leave that to the ford f-150 
Mods you can close this thread... Thanks..

If I were going to buy another truck I would take a look at a Lexus truck. I'm sure there are plenty of purists here that don't like the idea, but I do like the idea. I think the Lincoln Mark LT is cool. I do wish they did more than change the grill and trim bits though. I think the Mark LT had a lot of potintial.
The blackwood failed because it was a car wtih a bed. It had all utility as a truck stripped from it. The bed had doors with a power lid and a carpeted bed. It couldn't tow either. It was strictly for people who knew they wanted to use the truck like a car. That excluded the rest of the market that thinks they want a truck to use like a truck, only to use it like a car.
I'm talking as a Southern Californian who likes trucks. Outside of Texas and here trucks just aren't seen the same way. I do love modded trucks, and having a Lexus truck is sort of like having a head start modding from the factory.
