I've looked into then a little bit, but haven't gone too in depth with my research yet. They definitely seem like an affordable and viable option with a huge aftermarket. I used to be a tech for a chevy dealer and saw quite a few common issues, but would consistently see vehicles with 400k+...

Awesome, thanks for the insight! It's definitely looking like the Sequoia has the upper-hand currently. The LC definitely has been and always will be the standard, for sure, there's no arguing that. Realistically though, the Sequoia uses the same base 4wd system as an LC, can use LC80 rear...

Great info, thanks for sharing! It definitely seems like the more affordable Sequoia is quickly becoming the front-runner in this comparison. Having had both LC's and Sequoia's, what would you say are some downsides to choosing the Sequoia over the LC's?

Gotcha, that's all along the same lines of my thinking, too. I'm very used to having replacement coilovers at this point in my life, so I think that might be a pretty big driving factor in my decision as well. Thanks for sharing your experience with this stuff, it's been extremely helpful!

shmabs, thanks so much for your in depth reply! That's interesting about the cargo space comparison with the XJ and 4runner, I felt like the interior of the XJ was a little bit taller and longer when the second row was down, as well as flat. But I've never measured anything up, so I very well...

Perfect, we are also between 170cm and 175cm. It seems like the LC80 is still a good option for us to sleep in, but I think this may be a point to the Sequoia based on interior space. I haven't thought of putting the sleeping platform so high like you have, that's a good looking setup!

I completely agree with you on that, hence looking for bone stock, unabused examples of any vehicle. Though I will say that some platforms take abuse and neglect better than others. That doesn't necessarily have to do with branding, but more the specific model and spec itself. Like the rear...

Oh absolutely, there is no question in my mind about that. Branding definitely doesn't play any part in this decision, I chose these vehicles based on availability in my region, the fact that they all have a reputation for reliability, and that they all fit my needs well. After alanymarce's...

Thanks for the reply! I haven't looked too much into the Montero, I'll have to do some research into that one. I have a feeling that the Montero's available in your area might be vastly different from the ones we have available here. (EDIT: I looked into the Montero, and it actually looks like...

We are both 5'8" Was that with the seats removed or folded in the back of the 80? I've seen one 80 in person with a sleeping setup in the back of it for a single person that was similar sized, but never for two people plus gear. We've also been considering a RTT, but are still leaning more...
