Replying to: mackabee (May 19, 2008 3:05 pm) "LX is a Landcruiser/Sequoia."   Mack, I know you're an expert on Toyota's however other than the engine and drivetrain there is very little in common between the Sequoia and LC/LX platform. They have entirely different exterior dimensions, wheelbases, capacities and interior dimensions. One of the biggest differences is that the LC/LX still uses a solid rear axle while the new Sequoia has been upgraded to an independent rear suspension. The Sequoia is made in the US while the LC/LX models are all made in Japan, which to a large extent explains why the LC is so much more expensive than a Sequoia.   One of the other big differences is cost. With the $ to Yen exchange rate the cost to build an LC/LX is far greater than a Sequoia which shows up on the MSRP.

Replying to: ganan (May 19, 2008 2:12 pm) "In your pictures I note there appears to be a large floor "mat" covering the full rear. Was this standard with the Platinum or was it an accessory ? I purchased a couple of mats from Home Depot to protect the rear but would prefer something that would fit better. I don't see anything in Toyota accessories for this item. "   I ordered the "Accessories Package" with my Sequoia. This package from the dealer includes mats for all 3 rows plus the tri-fold cargo mat that works great with the 3rd folded down or up. The package also includes a first aid kit which fits very nicely in the bottom of the 2nd row console. It also included a cargo net for the rear and door sill protectors for all 4 doorways. Seemed a reasonable deal for a couple hundred bucks. Replies to this message: ganan (May 20, 2008 3:45 pm)

Replying to: hdfatboy (May 20, 2008 3:25 pm) Ok Thanks for the info. When I bought the vehicle, the dealer included the mats for all three rows but didn't mention anything about the trifold mat. I will check with them to see if it is available here.

Replying to: nedzel (May 20, 2008 7:01 am) Ok,. let me clarify. The Camry was based on the Japanese Crown, the big Camry/Crown became a an LS back in 1988 if I recall. Just about everything Toyota/Lexus makes as far as four doors is concerned are based off the same platform.  Mack

Replying to: hdfatboy (May 20, 2008 3:17 pm) You're right. What I was trying to show is the similarities in features between the LX570 and the Platinum Sequoia. Very minor differences as far as the drivetrain is concerned. 2 more hp and lb-ft torque on the Lexus.  Mack Replies to this message: keg97 (May 21, 2008 4:07 pm) mackabee (May 21, 2008 9:17 pm)

Replying to: hdfatboy (May 19, 2008 6:32 am) If gas prices keep going higher I don't see any "refresh" or re-designs. Time to bring the hybrids, otherwise the big SUV as we know it will disappear.  Mack

Replying to: sirraf (May 20, 2008 6:34 am) ratomlinson: You must use those clips otherwise you risk the mat bunching up under the gas pedal and you will get unintended acceleration when it sticks.

#1698 of 1871 Can I delete the towing(TO) package ?? by lou88 May 21, 2008 (6:26 pm)
I just visited a couple of local Toyota dealers in central NJ, and found each 4WD SR5 Sequoia comes with the towing package, I asked the salespersons if this package can be deleted since I really don't need it for transporting people... They claimed that I have no other choice but keeping it if I want to buy the truck from the dealer's lots. Is it true ????????   Any input is appreciated.   Lou Replies to this message: mackabee (May 21, 2008 9:21 pm) lou88 (May 23, 2008 5:26 pm) mackabee (May 23, 2008 7:28 pm)
