But $81K fully loaded, like I said a moderate option Wagoneer (not a Grand Wagoneer) at the Chrysler dealer was $81k...so thats just what a fullsized SUV like that costs...
if that’s the trend, I guess X7 is cheap for starting under 80k?

That is such a terrible design that it’s just painful to look at.

yeah. It’s bad. Toyota did something similar in the past. I have it in my suv. It’s a built in two tier loading system. Can support 250lbs

a very clever and useful design.

It’s like they have totally lost their way with the Sequoia.

That two-tier system is pretty neat. Love that generation.

this looks good. Better than the Tundra front end. I will say, it does look smaller than the outgoing Sequoia. This was Capstone

It's the tall, flat, floor to ceiling "face" doesn't look as high/imposing as the raised grill of the 2nd gen

I can't find that listed anywhere in Alcoa (it's close, where our airport is), so yes it must be a flip.

$103k? LOL. Save 20 grand and buy a Denali which is by far superior anyway.

I just love the exterior styling and I love the engine choice, so I am really disappointed to read all of the negative reviews. I'll still test drive one to form my own opinion, but it seems pretty clear that this one is falling short. I had contemplated it as a family hauler that could pull our trailer, but it seems that there are better choices out there. I very strongly dislike the outgoing model, so I'd probably lean toward a Yukon at this point.

Astonishing that someone would pay $100k for one, and you can get a Denali off the lot for MSRP!

It’s the fuel economy. I am not sure what the Denali would get. But people really see hybrid

People don't care, they really don't. In this class. The government, however, does. People who have 103k to spend on an SUV, gas station visits are the last things on their mind. Nobody is going to complain about good gas mileage, but I really would like a V8 instead of a hybrid in my Tundra or Sequouia.

Big BOF SUVs are the new luxury cars, remember nobody cared either back in the day that a big Mercedes sedan got 14-15MPG.

GMC should get 20 at least on the highway, though.
