What’s the cupholder situation in the Sequoia?

Hey lee this is the 100 section, I see by your photo that you have a highlander. There is not a highlander section on mud. Also I don't recommend jumping your highlander on corkscrew again the diffs are just too small :)
 
Highlander has more cup holders, better gas mileage, captains chairs, and four wheel IFS. It is superior to LC, but not LX.
Hmm. I'll have to check them out.
 
I think you guys just don't have the proper appreciation for size and girth and portliness (which these days are All-American attributes, given the effects of COVID-19).

As someone who had the pleasure of seeing a (semi-built...) Chevrolet Suburban fly thru the air backwards - despite a forward approach - I can tell you it is something to behold forever. Even if it was only a combination of impatience, poor line choice, and overly heavy right foot on the Golden Stairs in Moab. I'm usually low key on the trail, but even I was like "...Do it again!"

I've also had the pleasure of seeing an FJ60 fly thru the air backwards; similar trajectory, on a trail in AZ. Pretty much the same reasons as to why it happened, but not even close to being the same spectacle (...and a broken LR axle shaft to stop the show).

I'm sure a Nuked Sequoia could top the Sub...
 
I remember there being some differences when it came to center diff locking as well, something like it will only lock up if in 4lo? Not really a big deal just trying to think of differences.
i have a 2015 and you can lock in 4H and Low. It's a highway devourer. We haul so much crap to and from the beach in there it's crazy. Pretty decent on soft sand too, which is a big plus. but if you plan on technical driving I would think it would be pretty difficult. Mine is a stock Limited.

Yup, my '03 locks in the both 4HI and 4LO. I've used it to get unstuck from some sandy mud a time or two.

Isn't it the LC80 that has that weirdness (at least the earlier model years)? Center only locks in 4LO?
 
My wife drives a 2005 Sequoia (VVT-i motor with 5-speed auto) and I have an '06 LX470. While the engine and trans are the same, that's where it ends. The Sequoia has 280K on it and it has been an absolute rockstar in the dependability department. The Lexus drives better and has much stouter axles and a different transfer case. It is very much at home off-road. The sequoia feels like it's out of it's element when the pavement ends. Obviously there is the full-time 4wd thing on the 100 series (which I detested and removed) I like them both but they are very different machines.
