    This just seems like a way better deal than the land cruiser. Much nicer interior, better powertrain, more cargo room, 3rd row.... I'm not even sure the equivalent land cruiser will be cheaper at all.

And most wish the Sequoia didn't have the hybrid tech because the battery in the rear screws up the cargo area. This GX with a non-hybrid 3.4TT is the configuration many Sequoia owners wish that they could get.

    Great review as always. Have you been able to find out from anyone at Lexus why they aren't offering a 3 row option on the Overtrail trims, and if they might offer that option in the future? I fully understand the marketing behind the off-road centric overtrail version, but I feel Lexus made a short-sighted decision on this. Many of us have larger families and also want the ekdss, etc capability. And if you notice, the 3rd row cupholders are still included in the 2 row overtrail lol. What gives?

      @baltimorejae7397 No, they don't. Just like Toyota, Lexus has a build configurator on their website so that consumers can see what options exist & narrow down what they want. But ultimately the configurator just exists so that you can put in your information & a dealer can contact you. They can likely get what you want, there just aren't any in allocation presently & with no order process, they can't give you an accurate timeline as to how long it will take. If you're the patient type, you can typically give them a deposit so that you're first in line when the truck you're looking for becomes available through allocation.

    I’ve got to be honest, I’m sick of hearing about the rollout of the GX and the Tacoma. I enjoy your content but I don’t understand why Toyota has started dragging out the rollouts on these vehicles and I don’t buy for one second that it’s not totally intentional. We all act like Toyota has never introduced a new model before. The way Toyota has conducted themselves with inventory the last few years really makes me not want to buy from them anymore…

    Get some all terrain tires for this base version and you will have all-weather capabilities better than most vehicles on the road today. The fact that this vehicle has synthetic leather shouldn't stray you away. Mercedes and BMW have been putting synthetic leather in their vehicles for years and those materials wear better than any leather can, and still feel premium 20 years later. If luxury and off-road capability are fighting for your money, this is way to go.
