Have to see it in person to get an idea of its size.

Like in my old Explorer, I had 2WD, 4WD AUTO and 4WD LOW. You could leave it in AUTO if you wanted, this may work similarly. Having a pure 2WD option is nice for a highway trip, etc.

Do we know how "4WD HIGH" functions? If it functions in a 40/60 split the way fulltime 4WD Toyotas function then I don't have an issue with this, they're basically just giving you a 2WD option which I like personally.

Its bizarre for them to not have an automatic 4WD system, so I wouldn't put it past them. Bizarre to go back to a live rear axle too

Rear axle may be to placate old Land Cruiser customers, if so I'm seeing Toyota's strategy here. That Capstone Sequoyah is stunning and I'm sure will touch 80 grand loaded, not that far off from an old 200 Cruiser. I'm sure TRD version will be a true off road beast rather than off road capability **sort of** tacked on last generation.

Why is it that Toyota just can't seem to put a vehicle together right now that hits all the boxes?

Nice to see the V35A being more implemented. I'd like to see the Sequoia's powertrain in the LX and LS, doesn't seem right to give these Lexus flagships less powerful versions ![Dunno](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/13879dunno.gif)

I agree. I'm going to look into it see if I can find anything legit as to why they'd add a live axle. I don't believe towing capacity has increased significantly. It is bizarre. And like I said, I'm sure the Capstone will cost as much as a fully loaded domestic Tahoe, so 80 and some change. With part-time 4wd? It really is sort of mind boggling.

It must be cost savings...
