The other picture makes it look more like the LC than the previous model. Looks like Toyota is replacing the LC in America with the Seqouia and making it more Off-road worthy. At least I hope they do.

In a surprise to nobody, The Model Year X Sequoia will be based on the Model year X-1 Tundra, with pretty much everything from the B pillar forward being exactly the same.
Not saying it's a bad thing, but it's hardly a reveal. Tundra was released as a 2000 model year. Sequoia was released as a 2001. 2nd gen came as a 2007 for the tundra, 2008 for the sequoia. It's almost like the design team designs the Platform and builds a Truck on it first, then builds a SUV on that platform once they are done with the Tundra. maybe the staggared release is to spread out demand for the common platform.
It isn't like the Sequoia is a bad vehicle, my 01 is still going strong at 260k miles, but it surely isn't a surprise. here is to hoping that they offer it in the hybrid powertrain. It's embarassing that the company that changed the hybrid game with the 2nd gen prius got beat to the hybrid SUV market by chevy 14 years ago, though that isn't to say Chevy did a good job of it.

They will have it with the hybrid. The press photo has a blue Toyota badge! I agree, its a little late but it would be idiotic to not include the hybrid when the Tundra is confirmed to have it as an option.
