Thanks for posting this. I watched this earlier in the day yesterday and last night we had quite a bit of rainfall in the Houston area and I was stuck in an area where flood waters on the street was already well above the curb. Several sedans were already stalled out on the road by this time. This video played back in my mind and I figured, let's give it a shot! Was able to get through with no issues!!!

Glad to hear it provided some use. Just be careful if you are submerged too long you will start getting water inside your vehicle as it fills in thru the drain holes in the door. I was fortunate and had only a very tiny bit of water get in, it was dried up by the next day, probably equivalent to spilling a 16oz water bottle.

Ha, I never watched Agents of Shield until a year or so ago and I binge watched over several weeks. I had no idea that the 460 was in this along with the refresh. I really meant to record a scene from an episode that I found amusing...

Clark Gregg was driving the 460 and got an emergency call to show up ASAP!!! He switched over from Comfort to Sport and took off...

Default Lexus GXOR video

The link below was posted over on Mud. Surprised Lexus would host a video like this. If only they’d do that grill and winch.

ehh.
biggest thing it needs is fox live valve shocks!
some of TRD toyota tundras have fox shocks, but not live valve like Raptor.
would dramatically improve handling on and off road

I think the build components are largely irrelevant. From a safety crash rating perspective, Lexus would never bother with anything here. I'd think bumpers (or winch, or suspension, or...) would trigger new crash tests requirements, and that would be way beyond any ROI. The most would be losing the third row seats requirement (Toyota did that to the 200 series) and maybe fixing the approach and departure angles.

The simple fact that Lexus would host something like this on their website is what surprises me. They've never shown a pulse before when it comes to this stuff.
