Yeah. Sat in one and a Sequoia yesterday. I like the Sequoia plenty, just a bit concerned that the fabled Toyota reliability has slipped a bit for the non-Land Cruiser SUVs. I want something reliable that will last a long time, has good off road capabilities and can carry the kids, gear, etc.

Here's a nice one in Seattle. https://seattle.craigslist.org/est/c...437022793.html
Also if you do want a 200, but don't have aspirations to "build it", the Lexus lx570 is about 20 - 30% cheaper used, however my understanding is there is very little in the way of off-road parts for them and unlike previous versions of the LX, they are not carbon copies of the land cruiser with Lexus badges.

80 series land cruiser futures
This seems useful: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/mod...-lx570.838182/
Sequoia is larger than LC's. Even the 4 door Tacoma has a longer wheelbase than an LC.
Another vote for sienna (or highlander) AWD.
Something else to consider is the ride quality in the third row, being different suspension types and likely tire choices.

Get an AWD Sienna. You’ll hate it the first few weeks, then you’ll have a moment of clarity and spend the rest of your days wondering why so many people get SUVs as family vehicles.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

^^This. BUT make sure you have a fun car for the (very) few moments you and your wife get to spend together without the little ones. Strictly SUV and minivan time is no good...

Why would one not want a minivan? Is it a dentist or attorney thing?

The V8 Toyota drive trains are every bit as bomber as they always have been but the latest Sequoias look like a minivan on a truck chassis

My sienna carries 4x8 plywood no problem. I've also hauled sand and firewood in it. I think the stock payload rating is pretty high.
We own a LC because we like to explore in areas where the van does not do too well. I would have been happy with a sequoia, too. We got a 100-series over the 80-series because the jump seats are forward facing. We did not get a GX because of space and there's not much head room with the jump seats.

Look, minivans have their place. But this is the 80 series thread. If you are considering a minivan, the 80 is not the vehicle for you.
But if you are stuck in the snow in your minivan, an 80 series can pull you out.
Also 80 series third row faces forward.sigless.

Just mounting up bumpers that I painted today on my ongoing project 80. Test fitting the front flare. I thought it would be cool to paint oem metallic green but make the fender flares match the bumpers. Here is a shitty test fit. 95 cruiser...

Same problem with the 200 series Land Cruiser. Used market is going to be pretty damn tough in 10 years.

I drove a 5.7 sequoia and seemed like a nice rig. The length of the hood is short like a van which means more interior space, but harder to work on. The fan belt is buried beneath a ton of stuff. Not that RT will worry about that
Kidding Congrats on the kids dude. It looks like a good people mover, the bed height is a fair bit taller than a truck though, which saps up a lot of interior room for cargo payload. Turrning radius seemed nice and sharp. the one I looked at was 2008 80k miles $19,000
