OT: Toyota 4WD Sequoia

[cary]

Sequia can be driven around in in 2wd, but they get the same mileage as the LC. Bottom line is both will get 12-13 around town and 15-17 on the highway. BTW, I think you are seriously overestimating the price of a Used LC as there are many 2000s now in the 22,000-25,000 range. I would highly encourage you to drive both before making your decision. Also, the rear windows on the LC open a couple of inches for dog air. Still not as good as the 1991-1997 with the sliding windows where the dog can hang his head out and smile!!!

I know too many friends with 97-2000 4WD's and they are mostly beat up suspension wise. The ones with really low mileage are proud, and I'd rather have the newer car.

I thought the highway mileage would be better on the Seq. We may just look at 4 runners instead. My dog really deserves that back window, which remains in the Seq and the 4R, which other than it being a toyota are my current decision points

thanks cary

When you say 97-2000 4wd, are you talking about LCs or Tahoes and Expeditions? There is a big difference. FYI, my wife drives my 1996 Landcruiser with 130k more than her 525i now. She says is it the most solid car she has ever owned, no rattles, squeeks or any other issues.

FYI, 4 runner is much smaller, but does get much better mileage, up to 20-22mpg on the highway. They are very well built, very reliable, the only issue being they feel a little narrow. The build quality of the 4 runner feels better to me than the Sequoia.
