you haven't lived until you've had a heated steering wheel in the winter... and AC'd leather seats in the dead of summer. :p

looks like they made very minor updates... but they are still asking ~70k for a 08-vehicle.

sequoia chassis is very different from the tundra to accommodate the IRS. Engine, trans, tcase, axles... they're all the same. Sure, the LC has different rear suspension, but there are a large number of shared components. Great comparison...

landcruiser is just a sequoia under the skin. hard to argue that it's anything different anymore. It's name recognition. I would argue all day long that Toyota USA is designed for longevity and durability… *cough* frames *cough* :p

everything can be argued as being nit-picky... What I find very odd... Toyota hasn't updated the Sequoia interior yet. still the same as 2007...

Having owned a '15 Tundra (and 08, 11 crewmax's as well)… and a 16 F350... Entune is horrible. No other way to say it. It's HORRIBLE. Toyota nixed the transmission temp guage in '14. Toyota nixed reclining rear seats in... ~12?... I think. Ford doesn't have it either, but at least ford has...

and den?

That's pretty close to this one guy I know... except he drives a 385k mile Toyota. :p

Having owned 3 can-back's... the underlying structure is still my preference. You can get mounts for a roof-rack. But, you're right, they do not fold.

Had one on my last 1st gen doublecab. Sold it. Mostly because of fit... I'd do a Can-Back if they still make them; I like their framework better.

A locker can help get you to places that only a winch can get you out of...

i'm a huge proponent of low gears... for this, just take it out of OD and you'll essentially take your final drive ratio to ~5.29... when you decide to regear, do 4.88 or 5.29 and enjoy.

Hi jack.... Is this a thing? Does it work??? Seems in your budget @Clutch , so it has my interest. https://www.topbazaar.shop/index.php?route=product%2Fproduct&product_id=916&fbclid=IwAR0B3T9ezk1gmUNDFS7szOFQO91JQgqknJ8DeH2Pig_6qoydILe9cm3gYD8

I agree with this. Not buying that ~7# increase in tire weight had a 3mpg impact. Going from a 31 to a 33 does.

Availability of parts, aftermarket support and packaging are the biggest things, IMHO. Take a look at a LS next to a 2UZ... MASSIVE difference in size.

I would probably not done anything different... well, maybe a rear Dana 60. as much as I like the 4wu 3-link in my xcab, I’m not sure that I’d want it ina DD

Speaking of Jeep quality... this makes me want to sell my Toyotas... https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1989-jeep-grand-wagoneer-22/?fbclid=IwAR05kFXKGEJIcB3K-GlU51-gi1tOYrOTekpM0KLD1Hw0qzYg29Y9oBG7KHs

The fiat thing was the brainchild of the federal government... definitely an odd pairing.

Owning a ford and a bunch of Toyota’s... the fit and finish on the Ford is better... and ford hasn’t had to recall frames yet.. but I’d also argue that no mfg builds their vehicle to average 500k miles... they don’t need to.

I just wanted to acknowledge that this thread has been way more successful than I thought it would be. :D :D :D
