Maybe I'm a dinosaur and stuck in my old ways, but I'll take my 2nd gen over this any day.

Solid axle and rear diff lock.
been looking at mid-model 200’s (‘11-‘’16). I may be blinded by the light of this, but it sure looks like a domestic made 300 for a fraction of the price.
Yeah… confirmed from multiple sources now, rear axle is solid. No more irs.
All things considered (styling, size, capability, power, mpg, most importantly price) this looks like it’s better than a land cruiser. Makes even more sense why they dropped it now.
This pic show the rear axle.
Looks like Toyota had even the experts among us fooled with the irs. That said, I’m wondering what Toyota is thinking if this is basically the same size as a 300 series. The major reason I brought a 2nd gen new was the ridiculous amount of space it had. A third row that could seat adults. Much larger than the 200 series. Looking at the interior shots from the press site, this thing looks a bit smaller.
Can’t wait for the parts diagrams to come out so we can figure out just how “300” this thing is.

Definitely looks smaller. Redline Reviews on Youtube had a decent 1st look of the whole vehicle.
I wonder what this will be priced at. The 2023 Tundra is at 39k for 4WD, and the TRD PRO MSRP is $55k.
I'll suspend judgement until we see one with a lift, tires and the C4 Fabrication front bumper like they recently did for the new Tundra.
The current gen Sequoia TRD Pro starts at $65k.
This new one is definitely going to cost more with a standard hybrid system.
Add in the insane new car prices, this won't be cheap.
9000 lbs towing and the solid rear axle (assuming it rides well) is pretty awesome. Think I’ll be ordering a TRD Pro…
This is a Land Cruiser 300 (in a sense) for America. No doubt. And It will sell very well.

Agreed, if they answer the call with the 4Runner too (more power, better mileage, good tech), it will make more sense why the LC isn't coming.

I love the 3rd Gen Sequoia. Let’s hope the turbo/wastegate problem resolved. Also hope Toyota will release more spec regards fuel tank capacity. No 26 gal (2nd Gen) or the current 22 gal fuel tank offering on Tundra. The 33 gal fuel tank make sense.
Sequoia won't be 33 gal, that I know for sure.
That is my biggest fear the 300 series is a 16 or 17 gallon tank so far.
I hope a larger tank for this one.
Well I must say I like the photos I have seen so far and few videos that I have watched. Initial thoughts can I ditch the 3rd row?, Would look much better about 2 to 3 inches taller wearing 35s on 18 inch rims. Wondering what mileage is going to be because of hybrid. Love that I was wrong about IRS and that is has solid rear axle. Big question would I sell my 2016 LC for one of these? Maybe in few years then again I really love my LC so probably not. I think Toyota got a lot right with this.
Color me impressed. It looks pretty nice too, which is borderline shocking. Solid rear axle, interesting sounding color options [including Lunar Rock being kept across the board it seems], TRD Off Road option on other lesser models too. I think Toyota is going to kill it with this thing. I'm not crying about having a 21 TRD Pro but looks like they did a very good job with this replacement model to tick a lot of boxes for a lot of different customers.
