I'm too drunk to taste this chicken so I didn't read the whole thread but I have always had the idea sequoias were for moms and landcruisers were for the dads? I want to get a landcruiser next but like sequoias as well. Is there any basis for my thoughts? Is it the way they market it? I've never seen a commercial for either.
Toyota Sequoia, who has one?

I just picked up an 04' limited about 2 weeks ago. So far I love it. I have 3 kids with a 4th on the way so I needed the extra room. Finding a 4wd version was the hardest part, lots of 2wd's out there.

What options do you wish the SR5 had?
The Mrs and I are probably going to upgrade from 4Runner to Sequoia. I also just read that there is a good chance the 2016 will have a diesel option. I will throw down for that in a heartbeat.

buy an older land cruiser. All the stuff like Navigation and other fancy crap becomes dated over time.
Just make sure you get a land cruiser that isn't champagne exterior paint and beige interior and you are set.
Ideal would be a 2009 Land Cruiser (2008 was 1st year for current generation. Don't ever get 1st year of a new generation of anything!). Hopefully find one that has a dark interior (i.e. Grey, black etc) and you are done. Who cares if it has a dated Nav? You can get a new double DIN deck for pretty cheap these days. Who cares if the alloy wheels are curbed or faded? As long as the engine, driveline + maintenance are good you are golden. Then the mods can start!

I bought a first gen 4runner lol
I used to think that, but with Toyota specifically, I don't think its as big of a concern. I believe it becomes more refined than critical repairs.
I would suggest to get a used 2013 LC over older models for the camera system, side and front cameras is great to have. Just my 2 cents

When we shopped our 4 runner my wife was going gaga over a new white land cruiser on the lot. It was marked down to 72k because it had slight hail and they said all the body panels were replaced so it wouldnt even show up on carfax or the title. She had the salesman in a tizzy because he knew what a killing his bonus would be. Needless to say it was not going to happen.

[MENTION=75328]DannyLlama[/MENTION] , did you end up getting a Sequoia? I think once the 2016s come out, we will be getting one also... Family is getting to large for the 4Runner

No sir, the gas millage is horrendous, unless the 2016 comes with a diesel option and the gas millage is significantly better.
We are contemplating the new volvo xc90... Check it out, they really did a good job on the new one.

But isn't the Volvo same size as the 4runner? We would be switching to upgrade the size.... So I don't think the Volvo would work for us. We need a full size SUV

Yes it is roughly the same size, so yea it wouldn't work for you if you want to go bigger. For us, we just need another SUV, so it what makes most sense.
We test drove a Land Cruise, holy mother of SUV's, that thing was like driving your house on wheels, soooooooooooooooooooooo nice. And I'm sure we can get one for similar cost of the new volov.
The only problem is MPG, does anyone know when the next LC model is coming out, diesel?

You complain about MDX issues (minimal and very superficial)...you are now looking at 1st year total redesign with uber modern electronics...aren't they own by the Chinese?
Good luck! You will need it with Volvo XC90.

'01 Runner got a bigger buddy, '15 sequoia Ltd. Of course it's a wholly different vehicle for a wholly different purpose (wife's) yet the interesting part is the fuel efficiency.
The Sequoia beats the Runner by 1/2 an mpg in town and 2 on the highway, haha. Power of course is Incredible by comparison.
Luck and enjoy those Runners. :cowboy:

Hello prizewagon!
I have already the third Prius on this moment. The first was 20ka 2005, mileage not remember, but bought these his already with mileage, with Ussuriysk. The equipment was G (complete). Drove it 1 year. The machine liked.
In 2010 bought 30yy Prius 2009 issuing with mileage 11 thousands of. Cost 630 thousand rubles. Rolled on it 277 thousand km. For the entire period of operation twice changed the stabilizer bushings, twice-brake pads. On the 200th thousand two changed the wheel bearing on the right side. And, of course, oil filter changed every 10 thousand km., in the box-every 45 thousand km. the Car lived in Yamal, was always on the street. The coldest start -56 degrees: without heating boiler started the first time.
