The Sequoia seems to have significantly more room than the Landcruiser or Lexus models when I compared them. Not as off road capable because of the size. Smaller price and a big ride on the highway.

One more thing, the Sequoia has 19 cup holders and a bunch of storage. I have stashed stuff in that ride that will never be found again.

Fwiw…..I think the Lexus GX’s are comparable in size to a 4Runner, while the LX is comparable to the Sequoia and Land Cruiser
The LX is a Landruiser with Lexus frills and higher price tag In my overall research..and i dont know why..but the lx570 will usually undersell a land cruiser by $5-7k…i could bot afford a Land Cruiser..but a lx570..almost bought a couple because they were significantly cheaper…i have no idea why..and that could have corrected in the last 4-6mo🤷🏻 Fewer Landcruisers were produced(and eventually discontinued) to push the inventory through the higher priced Lexus brand.

Th majority of yall are a little confused Lexus gx470&lx470(same as land cruiser): 4.7 v8, years (gx470-2001ish-2009)(lx470 1999-2006🤔) Lexus gx460: 4.6L v8….not the same…very good engine regardless 2009.5(or 10..hard to remember)-2023..ish Lexus lx570(same as nect gen landcruiser of above mentioned): 5.7L v8..same as tundra and sequoia..(2007ish-2023ish) A So..4.6L,4.7L,5.7L…4.7 being the least powerful(by very little compared to the 4.6)..but by far the most reliable. I am toyota retarded…😐
This is helpful. Seems like every vehicle we have looked at either has the 4.6 or 5.7. Maybe luck.

Everything I've seen says the GX 460 is built on the same platform as the 4Runner. I know used the gx460 is usually a little cheaper than the 4Runner.

Landcruiser/LX470 had 4.7 V8 starting in 1998 till 2007. I drove my 1998 LC for 17 years and 276K miles. Spent less than $2k in non-routine maintenance. Sold it in 8 hours. As close to a free vehicle as you can get. I have a 2005 LC 4.7 now.

Hard to beat the Lexus GX 460 or GX 470 for long term reliability. The prices on the GX 460 have gone up recently due to the total redesign for the 2024 Model. Some geniuses at Lexus decided to destroy one of the most reliable vehicles every made by “upgrading” it. They swapped the legendary V8 engine for a twin turbo V6.
That's not what they wanted to do. They have already shunned most of the electric vehicle demands the government made but the bs EPA standards demand they get more fuel efficient and turbos were the best of the worst options they had to choose from. I'm not positive but I think the 4Runner still has the v6 non turbo option. I just bought one of the last of the Mohicans. I tracked down a like new 2023 GX 460 with only a couple thousand miles on it. It was a demo model that the owner of the dealership was driving. We plan on driving it til the wheels fall off. Same here. My wife bought a 2023 in December of 2022. Got totaled by an illegal in November 23 and she bought the exact same vehicle same color etc. It really is the last great production vehicle. having said that, to the OP, find a Lexus GX 460 years 2009 to about 2020 and drive it until Jesus comes back.

You guys are right about the pricing. One reason that I started looking at the Lexus models is that they run a few thousand cheaper than the comparable 4runner year/miles. The right vehicle for us is the Sequoia, but seems like our budget may make us move toward the 460 or 470. I would like to spend $25,000, or less. That puts us in a Sequoia with a lot higher miles than I would prefer.
Seems like Trucks have come down in price. Maybe I should get my wife an old car with good gas mileage and get myself a newer 2500.......
Bet that would work out well. I wouldn't worry too much about the miles if it's been well cared for. I've had a bunch of Toyota and Lexus vehicles go 200k plus with zero issues and believe most of those would have went 400k plus if I'd kept them. I currently have a 4Runner with 250k miles that I took to the beach (7 hours) a couple weeks ago.

I had a 1 Gen. Seqouia and I loved that thing. It was getting high on mileage and was only 2WD so I started looking for another one with less mileage and 4WD. That was a hard task since most are mom vans with tons of miles. I found a couple in great shape but they were expensive. I started looking at the smaller 4Runner’s but they’re fairly expensive too. That’s when I discovered that the first gen gx470 could be had for about the same price with far less mileage since a lot were owned by little ole rich retired folks. I would have settled for a gx460 or gx470 as long as the mileage was low enough and price was comparable. I like the the look of land cruisers but they are insanely expensive from what I’ve seen. I got my 2006 gx470 last year with 108k miles and though it’s significantly smaller than the seqouia I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn’t do anything fancy with mine, 2” lift and some 33” all-terrains. It’s hauled a couple deer for me so far and took me out to oregon and back with no issues. The gx470 has the same engine and chasis as the v8 4Runners. One difference is the gx470 drive is AWD vs 4WD of the 4Runner or Seqouia. I believe V8 4 Runners are AWD .

Somebody posted a Land Cruiser in the classifieds here several years ago, before covid, for like $6K. I still think about that sometimes and call myself a dumbass for not buying it.
