Trading Sequoia for GX 460
#16
Pole Position
Absolute power means nothing ... focus on the power-to-weight ratio as a comparison. Even better, its usable Torque at lower RPM's that is important for towing, off road and off-the-line acceleration.

Seems to be quite a few of us. We handed down our 2005 Sequoia with 200k and got a 2014 GX. Shopped 4Runner Limited (new), X5 (used), and Highlander (new). Love the GX but it is definitely a smaller vehicle than the Sequoia when you’re in it. We had bucket seats in the middle row of the Sequoia and do miss that feature in the GX. That was a perk of the Highlander but I really wanted to stick with something with some off-road ability and true BOF construction.
Im 6’ and the third row of the GX is pretty much unusable. Third row in the Sequoia was actually comfortable for me even for extended distances.

Again not apples to apples
I recognize the common theme in my thread is kids - and the car seats and strollers that come with modern-day child-raising and helicopter parents. These are obviously not issues if you have older kids. We got a GX because we wanted a GX (V8, body on frame, off road capable, styling, towing) - the less room wasn’t material for us.

Hopefully Toyota ups the bar with the AWD config in the Highlander. The Pilot walks over it and it is likely the new RAV4 Adventure model with MTS will also do better.
Fast forward to about 4:30
