It’s fair to say that for many of us, overlanding conjures romanticized ideas of navigating gravel switchbacks, through jaw-dropping scenery, in a cool rig. However, these visions tend to omit the long highway miles, traffic jams, busy cities, narrow streets, potholes, and other harsh realities of vehicle travel in this modern age. Sure, an old Defender or Land Cruiser is charismatic, but they’re not the most comfortable for long days behind the wheel. I recently drove over 800 miles, at 50 mph, in two days from the UK to Italy in my 1986 Volkswagen Syncro, and the subsequent chronic back and butt pain was no joke. So, you want a vehicle that’s absolutely dependable, excellent on and off-road, and showcases a luxurious interior. Sounds too good to be true? Cue today’s Lexus GX460.
This meticulously serviced, two-owner rig has covered just 87,000 miles, showcases premium aftermarket parts, and features almost every driver comfort imaginable. This example has been conservatively uprated for vehicle travel, but with further modifications, you could create something altogether more extreme (check out this fully-outfitted 2018 GX460 for inspiration).
From the Seller:
“We’re selling our beloved adventure mobile ‘SpaceLex’ – a 2015 Lexus GX460 Premium with 87,269 miles. I designed this rig to be a daily driver that could easily convert to a capable adventure mobile. You won’t find crazy heavy bumpers or a stiff, jacked suspension. Setup and breakdown is a piece of cake. This is a reliable, luxurious vehicle that’s ready to go anywhere.”
