Hi!! Guys, I'm new to this forum. I love Toyota, Lexus, BMW, and Ferrari. You can tell that I love Toyota a lot since I love Toyota and Lexus. Anyways, my question was that why did Toyota make Sequoia when they already had the Land Cruiser. The Sequoia is a little bigger than the Land Cruiser but the Land Cruiser is about $10,000 more expensive than the top of the line Sequoia. Why? They both have about the same luxury things. Why would people buy the Land Cruiser then?

I like both. This stuff has been bothering me for some time.

Thanks.
BYE.

Some people like to drive vehicles that are a little less common. A LandCruiser does not get lost in the parking lot along side all of the Tahoes/Explorers and now Sequoias. I also appreciate how wide the vehicle is - - There is room between the 2 front seats. Not to mention it's legendary history as an incredible 4X4. Resale value is good. It also comes loaded.

Definitely a Land Cruiser. Just compare the 2 side by side. The materials use on the landcruiser are way better.

Land cruiser has a smoother, more luxurious ride. The difference in interior luxury is serious too, Land Cruiser has lexus luxuy beauty.

Sequoia all the way, see you in the Sequoia page of Toyotanation.com

Land Cruiser. Test drive it and you'll see there is a BIG difference between the two.

 

[Firephil]

Same framework, how much of a difference?

 

[Nad1370]

^^ different frame work.

Land Cruiser has a shorter frame and has more structural rigidity.

Suspension is also different, wheelbase, front and rear track, larger and wider size tires and rims, ect....

and different price tag, go ahead and pay for the name and get the same with a Sequoia

LC is preferred by 9 out of 10 mullahs in Afghanistan!

Sequoia is preferred by 9 out 10 soccer moms in Preptown!

Lest see--SEAHAWKS suck!!

The LC is the more luxo of the 2 and it looks much better IMO. You also get more styling points ans looks if you like that as well LC all the way

As a 2000 LC owner I can honestly say that there is a world of difference between the two. LC hands down give you a much smoother ride not mention more space. I've test driven both and found the LC a much more comfortable ride. I know it's 10k more but IMO it's well worth the extra money.

The LC is more of a luxury vehicle.

 

[holla]

Im trying like heck to find me a nice used 99-02 landcrusher with no luck at all!! These things are hard to find cause nobody wants to get rid of them

Land Cruiser. END OF TOPIC.

I would go for the landcruiser. The Sequoia is built on a modified Tundra frame and is nowhere near the vehicle the LC is. Just check the price.
The Sequoia is Toyota's answer to the Tahoe and Expedition. It has a car like ride and no locking diff. if I'm not mistaken. Sequoia is built for suburban use, while the LC is built to go anywhere. I once heard the only thing a LC can't climb is trees.

 

[84yotapup]

it's like you said the sequoia is bigger, gets better mileage than older lc's but the lc has such a reputation for 4X4 and the seqoia comes in 4WD but i'm sure it's nothing like an lc. i think newer lc's get better mileage because they have the same v8 in them as all the other suv's instead of a straight 6.

 

[desertrdr]

Hands down the Land Cruiser. I have driven both and there is noticeable luxury built into the LC that is not present in the Sequoia. The Sequoia feels more like a truck, will not handle as well off-road and supposedly (i've never tested this) does not pull as well.

Sequoia!!!!!
