I think the back of the LC250 is something around 74" from the seats to the tailgate. Not a lot of room but should fit some of the Exped and similar mats. If someone wants a quick alternative to setting up a tent, I think this is an option. It will be interesting to see the solutions people/companies come up with to minimize the drop between the seats and rear cargo area. I could see small ramps that velcro to the back of the seats that fold down and take up minimal space while not in use. Wouldn't be hard to fabricate some on our own with minimal fabrication skills.
Like the other Toyota hybrid, the added benefit is that the cabin is essentially heated/cooled if leave the vehicle ON overnight, while using little gas as the engine cycle on/off as needed to recharge the hybrid battery. On top of that, the 2.4kw outlet can be used to power all kinds of appliances (coffee maker, kettle, induction stove, etc..) A lot of "build" rigs need to add heater/fan, complicated power setup to do what a stock LC can do in this case.
