2020 Lexus LX 570 :: Featured Classified

The Lexus LX 570 is not only a pinnacle overland platform, but a pinnacle vehicle period. It’s a 4WD that can seemingly do it all, whether you require a practical daily driver, family shuttle, luxury commuter, or an around-the-world expedition rig. This coveted model is underpinned by the fabled 200 Series Land Cruiser, which at the time of manufacture was touted as the toughest and most rigorously tested iteration to date, and is depended on by frontline agencies and NGOs globally. Consequently, the LX 570 shares the same heavy-duty body-on-frame architecture, full-time 4WD system, and bulletproof 3UR-FE 5.7-liter V8 motor. Lexus carries forward the 200 Series’ fabled build quality and backcountry credentials but introduces class-leading interior comforts and tech, which is an ideal combination for long days behind the wheel. It’s for these reasons and more that it’s coveted by both the community and the Overland Collective team. Executive Publisher Scott Brady field-tested The Lexus J201 Project (a modified Lexus LX 570), and concluded, “Overall, the J201 project is not just a show vehicle, but a fully functional overland platform for remote travel. The J201 has the heart of a Land Cruiser, the luxury of a Lexus, and the finishing touches of a true overlander.” To this end, cue today’s one-of-one 2020 Lexus LX 570 (105,000 miles), which has similarly been tastefully upgraded with top-tier parts and accessories to enhance backcountry performance. Perhaps what I love most about this build is that each modification was made with intention, which means the rig is not excessively overbuilt, remains comfortably within payload, and doesn’t pigeonhole itself into serving just one purpose. Instead, it remains a practical, luxurious vehicle for weekdays, a trail-ready 4WD for weekends, and a well-appointed overland rig for big trips. At $70,000, this meticulously maintained offering represents an impressive value when you consider that the base price for this vehicle when new was almost $90,000, and that’s before you consider factory options and the long list of premium aftermarket upgrades.

From the Seller:

“This LX 570 was built for rugged off-road travel, and all work was completed by Land Cruiser Haven in Hagerstown. This truck consistently stands out for capability, comfort, and reliability, and kept up with the top five placers in the 24 hours of Appalachia Rally (multiple times) as a support and media truck. Selling is a difficult decision; it has the absolute bombproof Tundra engine, which is running strong, and provides a smooth ride. I nabbed it as we were camping less often with two children, and I was shooting more. However, now that they are growing out of the early stages, we’re looking to get back into our groove, and an opportunity has come up for a Tundra build that would fit our little ones. Please message me if you’re interested or have any questions.”
