Lexus has SUVs, sedans, and even a minivan in certain markets, along with the promise of the LFA's return as an electric supercar. However, one thing is still missing from its lineup: a pickup truck. That's a gap California-based Meso Customs decided to fill, albeit without any involvement from Toyota's luxury division. Meet the TX1, an unusual creation that takes a fourth-generation Tacoma and gives it a heavy dose of GX 550 DNA.
Making its debut at the 2026 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, the one-off build started life as a CGI rendering by digital artist Lukemadevids. Meso Customs liked the idea enough to turn it into a real vehicle, spending most of a year transforming a Tacoma donor truck into something that looks like it rolled straight out of a Lexus design studio.
