Lexus turned its GX luxury SUV into a camper van with a pop-up tent on the roof - see inside

The automaker calls the truck "beauty meets beast."

“The Lexus GX Overland Concept pushes the limits of the idea and the emergence of luxurious camping,” the automaker wrote in a statement.”

The vehicle has a 4.6-liter V8 engine.

It has a body-on-frame build, which means the body and frame are separate pieces.

“This gives GX unparalleled strength while still providing the driver and guests with the [unparalleled] Lexus luxury experience,” the automaker wrote in a statement.

Body-on-frame construction is often used for trucks because it gives the vehicle a taller ground clearance, which is better for off-roading.

The concept vehicle has the same features as the 2020 GX 460 executive package, but with the addition of a "quick deploying" tent on the rooftop.

The tent has a bed, awning, and shower area.

The executive package includes entertainment for the rear seats…

...crawl control, which Lexus claims helps the car maintain a slower and more consistent pace while off-roading on difficult terrains...

...and a system that allows drivers to select different surfaces so the car can adjust its own engine and brakes…

...and a transmission fluid cooler, to name a few.

The automaker claims this aids in “remote exploration” while still being comfortable.

It also has special tires, wheels, and suspension to aid in that effort.

There's also under and side body armors, and a front winch bumper, which is useful if the vehicle gets stuck while off-roading.
