    Overland/cross country vehicle: Lexus RX400h Hybrid

    appreciate the posts! I have a 2016 RX450H and scratching my head about how to go forward with some novice overlanding; keep thinking out fit a van?, get a teardrop?, get an older sportsmobile type van? Novice here, weekend car camper.

    Overland/cross country vehicle: Lexus RX400h Hybrid

    thanks for your post! I have a 2016 450H and would like to do a bit of off roading in it (gravel roads, light dirt, etc). First thought about outfitting a cargo van, and then trading the RX for a LX470, and now circling back to using the 450H. appreciate reading your escapades!
