It's a promo vehicle used by the Lexus/Dealer to showcase the capabilities. There is a video where people drive GX hard on a tank test field as well. I wish Lexus did more of that in the NA but it's not a very big seller over here so they probably don't care too much.

I was being sarcastic about the warranty. /
It is nice to see what it can do.
Gives me more ammo when someone pulls the "oh, you want a spoiled upper-middle class wife/GF suburban car do ya?" That crap makes me want to stab someone. "No! I want something nice, safe for my kids, handles off road well that I will be paying for with my own money you jack***!" (add middle finger here).
I apologize ahead if I offended anyone.
Hey tecman? How you all holding up down there? I have friends sleeping in cars tonight. :/

I pulled into a parking lot and walked home, only 4 miles so 1 hour to get home walking. I see others sliding beside me so I did not want to get hit. I know I have a competent truck but fear the other drivers and I Knew what hills were ahead covered in ice.
Please keep in mind that we are talking weather so do not comment to this as this is not the purpose of the site. Thanks

The footage is all around the video but scroll to 5:20 for some juicy stuff. It's done in Russia too as is the Mig video -- the GX is way more popular over there so Lexus/Dealers do more to advertise these vehicle capabilities as opposed to silly "soccer mom" videos they do in NA. There are some occasional LXs in the video too.

I know... I too noticed that the general mentality in NA is that GX is for "spoiled" people because so little understand what this vehicle is really capable of.

From what I could make out of it they drive it in 4LO with center diff locked (not sure if that affects what the display shows). Sorry I don't know about the bars but I was curious about these myself... could be Russian specific software feature perhaps?

I did it last night in some deep snow and didn't get that result. I will do some digging and report back.

There is something I found:
It's on a Prado and called "Multi Terrain Monitor" (for what's youtube title worth), looks like exactly the same system to me. Could be an option available in certain countries?
