It’s no secret the current generation Toyota Land Cruiser, which has been in production since 2007 and only received a mild refresh in 2016, is an outdated piece of machinery. At $85,000, it’s arguably overpriced as well.
If the second hand market isn’t enough, internal competition from the 4Runner and Sequoia effectively make the Land Cruiser a completely obsolete SUV. That’s because if you want an SUV from Toyota for camping and trail riding, the community favorite is undoubtedly the 4Runner. If you’re looking for luxurious SUV from Toyota but don’t want to spring for a Lexus, the top trim Sequoia has you covered.
Off-roading is all about affordability. Why? Because damage and dirt are inevitable and cleaning plush leather seats and carpets and paying thousands of dollars for a new paint job every weekend is insane. Take a walk around any overlanding or off-road get-together and you’ll be hard-pressed to find any attendees showing off their brand-new Land Cruisers. Sure, the J200 Land Cruiser is more than capable off-road, but so is the 4Runner TRD.
On the other hand, the car shopper looking for a luxury SUV from Toyota, who doesn’t want to shell out for a Lexus, probably isn’t worried about off-road handling, which is where the Sequoia comes in. The more suburban SUV sports the same V8 engine as the Land Cruiser, carries groceries just as well and comes with a nearly identical high-quality interior, all for about $20,000 less.
