I agree with what "Toyota
I agree with what "Toyota Failed" wrote.. Toyota Blew It !! I Love Toyotas !!
I have a 2003 V6-4WD Highlander, I bought New, drive it everyday 70 miles plus it now has 380,000 Miles!! Greatest vehicle I ever owned, and I had alot !
So I bought a 2016 Limited Sequoia, New, Second greatest vehicle I ever owned,, But this new model first of all... it's UGLUY !!! That Horrendous, Gaudy Oversized Grille,and they made the Body style a "Square Box" like the competition. My Sequoia is Beautiful, with rounded fenders, quarter panels, wheel wells, windows, etc. Nice a "Curvy" like a Beautiful women. Also Toyota is now going backwards in Technology, by removing an independent rear suspension, and using a solid axle instead, just so they can advertise a higher towing capacity. but on the other hand, the competition, is upgrading to independent rear suspension, Chevy, GMC, Suburbans, Tohoes, etc. So they are sacrificing ride quality, and the fact they can't fold the 3rd row seats flat, into the floor ,because of the rear axle, the Cargo area just got ruined, with that ridiculous step shelve in the back. No more fully flat floor space. I can fold all my seats down, completely flat, and since I don't have the second row caption chair, I have 120 cubic inches of useable space.I can sleep back there, with plenty of room, nice and comfy, at 6'-1" Then they discontinue a proven, naturally aspired V8 drivetrain, for an overstressed V6 twin-turbo, trying to move a 6,000 lb. vehicle, doesn't make any sense, and don't let the gas mileage numbers fool you. Your not gonna do that much better, how you drive , matters more. I can get 20-21 m.p.g on the highway, in my Sequoia, IF I take it EASY. but when I start turning up 5,000 r.p.m's, I can get 10 m.p.g or less. Since Toyota built their reputation on Reliability, Durability, Longevity, etc. I can't see an overstressed V6 twin-turbo, pushing a 6,000 lb. vehicle, lasting 380,000 miles ,without expensive, maintenance, and repairs. I think I'll keep mine, forever, or until Toyota wakes-up !
