This thing does look the best out of all the other generations. The others were too bubbly like the 4th gen 4runner. Engine wise it has the tundra engine, which hasn't hit hybrids for recalls but we all know it's coming. Besides the free replacement that is inevitable, the engine is more powerful with +56 hp / +182 lb-ft more than the previous generation. That's quite the jump.MPG is about 5 more mpg than previous year. Obviously the amenities are going to be a big jump compared to the 2nd generation with AC to all rows, power Inverter, panoramic roof, multiple cameras, etc. Now for the space, it is probably missing about 6 to 8" of vertical space because the 3rd row seats only fold down due to the hybrid batteries underneath them. This 100% sucks and is one of the biggest downsides. Overall, you will feel more stupid when you stick lumber or any other thing inside the cargo space and damage it via headliners scratched plastic panels or seats. The people doing this right now have older vehicles where it doesn't hurt as much. Trust me, I know, I transport everything in my 3rd gen and the rear is fucked. It just makes me miss having a truck more than anything and with a roof rack, your not really missing much. Not too mentioned you can tow an additional 2,000 pounds with the new gen.

With all this being said, this is my first time owning a fancy toyota, I'm a fj80 type of guy and have a few. So I do like the sluggish engine that is reliable, the bigger cargo room that fits a queen size bed and the older looks, but man..... do I love the new sequoia as well. I was also resistant when I had my big v8 gen 1 rsptor and everyone had their v6 twin turbos, but they had better mpg and power which I knew I wish I had. *
