[@induction7895]

Toyota didn't want to build this SUV and they were coerced by Toyota USA to build it. That is all you need to know about this SUV. It is simply a SUV version of Tundra and as long as that is what you want this is a good choice. If you want a real full-size people-hauler SUV, there are better options.

[@astaldo]

Every body on frame SUV on the market is simply an SUV version of their full size truck. None of them will beat a minivan or a van for the purpose of people hauling. They exist so people feel more secure in rougher climates.

[@induction7895]

@@astaldo They are indeed SUV versions of trucks but with enough modifications such that their main focus is on people. For example, fully independent suspensions for comfort and handling, good third-row seatings for adults etc.

[@Peter-fq4im]

@induction What do you recommend as better options? I'm on the hunt.

[@Peter-fq4im]

@@americandude3825 Thanks, I'll explore those. We've got 4 boys so will need a lot of space. Unfortunately, I really loved the look of the new Sequoias, so it's a bummer to hear they're so-so.

[@induction7895]

@@Peter-fq4im If you are fine with the third row compromise (which you will have to be if you buy Sequoia), why not look at a smaller three row? Lexus GX is my absolute favorite and one of the best value for money in the current market. Or wait for a year when they will release a hybrid GX. If you never plan on doing off road, Acura MDX is another great option. Is sporty, amazing interior and sound system, good AWD; and has some cool minivan like features like cabin talk and removable middle seat. For BOF full size, pick one from Ford or GM, and don’t be concerned too much about “reliability”. They are plenty reliable if you take care of them, and the workshops around the country will have parts and mechanics to work on them even 15 years down the line.

[@overloadcrisis]

love the interior look but, I do see a ton of under steering going on which ultimately would deter me from wanting to get one.

Excuse the newb question, but isn’t understeer to be expected on all cars when you’re in the mud?

“Off-road”? That is a dirty driveway.

[@courtf5679]

I definitely do not like the new style....👎 I love the last body style with the 20 inch tires. I have more ground clearance. This model looks like it's squatting on the ground... we definitely do not buy SUVS and trucks to feel like I am sitting in a car on the ground.... plus they said now the interior size is a little smaller to compare with a chevy Tahoe.. that's a giant mistake, because I didn't buy a Tahoe because of the no leg room especially for the second and third row... I hope Toyota gets some better car designers because they are dropping the ball on this
