2nd Generation Sequoia...what year is the best? (4 Viewers)

Thank you for responding! We are still searching for a 2nd Gen Sequoia! We did go to test drive one semi-locally, and my wife LOVED the additional interior elbow room - which sets these trucks apart from our LX470. She is excited to get one so the girls have a little more room to spread out on long trips.

Unfortunately, the search has been futile so far. We have queried a few dozen online, but nothing acceptable enough to lay out the cash. We are also a bit picky in that we now know we want a Platinum trim level or at least a Limited with the center captains' chairs.

We were hoping to have the right Sequoia for when we travel cross country this summer with the Airstream (literally coast-to-coast), but we are feeling like that probably won't happen at this point. Fingers crossed we stumble on the right truck!

I just recently moved from our 2007 LX470 to a 2021 Sequoia TRD Pro, and so far so good. It's a family vehicle for us and the flexibility of the 3row on the Sequoia is amazing compared to the LX470. I think the Sequoia rides a bit tighter, not as floaty to me as the LX. It is wider, and you feel it, but I will say it turns way tighter than the LX so much easier to park in tighter spaces or to get it turned around. They're both similar on gas so far for me, at least Sequoia takes regular and not premium. As with a Lexus the fit and finish is excellent but I like having the updated electronics in the Sequoia, nice to have Apple Car Play (never had that before). Overall both are wonderful, reliable, and capable vehicles.
