What year did you get?

At least in pics, they all look the same from the rear: Sequoia, Grand Cherokee, Grand Wagoneer.

I really like the looks of the 23 Sequoia from the reviews I've watched. It reminds me a lot of the newer LX from the side (a good thing to my eyes). I have a friend who recently ordered one and should be receiving it in a couple of weeks. Excited to hear her feedback - they're migrating from a 2013 LX570 to the Capstone trim of the new Sequoia. They apparently have an "in" at Toyota and were able to buy at exact MSRP.

Maybe cuz we can put a lot of stuff in a big box, oh yeah! lol

Start sloping roof lines starts cutting into cargo space. IMO

Looking back, that gen Sequoia was a very well thought out design. Very comprehensive Can't believe they went back to a solid axle.

agreed but even boxy rear ends can have unique treatments.

even 'blobby'

I don't like how Mercedes tapers up the exterior of their crossovers.

G class is much better

MB should stick to making the higher end priced vehicles. IMO.

I don't see how these vehicles look the same other than them both being large SUVs

Not the same, but similar.

I struggle to see the resemblance. The Toyota looks smaller in those pics.
