Test drive: 2022 Lexus LX600
The 2022 Lexus LX600 replaces a 14-year old model by mixing old-school truck charm with modern tech. Fox News Autos Editor Gary Gastelu reports.
Lexus SUVs have a reputation for bulletproof reliability, but this one takes the cake.
Security vehicle specialist Inkas has unveiled an armored version of the all-new 2022 Lexus LX 600 that’s now available for order.
The full-size LX 600 is based on the latest Toyota Land Cruiser, which is a favorite of government agencies and aid organizations operating in hostile areas.
The LX 600 is aimed more at the rich and famous looking for protection and includes a host of features that turn their trucks into luxurious bunkers.

Along with the ballistic bodywork and glass, the vehicle is equipped with protection for its engine, cargo area and fuel tank. It rides on a beefed-up suspension to handle the extra weight and run-flat tires to keep it moving under all circumstances.
Prices start above $200,000. (Inkas)
Options include a siren, fire suppression system, night vision cameras and escape hatches in case it is rolled or otherwise disabled.
