I really like the new LC, but I have to justify the huge cost difference.
Both can be people movers with 3 rows of seating if need be, same engine, etc.
Is long term reliability and better off-road ability worth 20-30k more? Hmmm...
Worth more to some, not to others. It all depends on your own personal priorities. If you don't have any long-term ownership plans, and the truck meets your functional needs, and you just don't have an irrational itching for that legendary "Land Cruiser" script on your tailgate, then get the Sequoia. If you are in the other camp, then get the Cruiser with no guilt. FWIW, Land Cruisers are passed on to family members in wills. Sequoias... aren't.
