Seeking Opinions on the ‘18 Sequoia

We checked out the new body style (2012+) Infiniti QX56/QX80 and new body style Armada as well. They are pretty nice. I Fing hated working on the Nissans though.
We are in the process of trying to switch back to Toyota after going Nissan/Infiniti for a 6 year span.
Just wish Toyota would make that an easier choice with a Sequoia update.

 

Google Sequoia Tundra swap.
I think it was fenders, hood, grill and bulge, headlights, bumper, pieces below the headlights.
But Tundra fender lines don’t match the rear Sequoia body lines, that was the downside (So your front end has a more square fender opening, and rear is more rounded).

 

My wife has a 2017 Sequoia limited, we love it. Prior to that we had a 2012 suburban, other than giving up a little cargo room everything else is a huge improvement. Still has some cargo room with the 3rd row up and plenty with it down. She didn’t care about the LED headlights so we got a great deal on the 17 as the 18s started hitting the lot.

 

I spoke with a couple of guys who work for Toyota dealerships. They say it’s because the Sequoia just isn’t a big seller, so they don’t invest a lot of time or money into them. It’s a shame, because it’s an amazing vehicle.

 

If Toyota could make it drive smaller and give it a stylish redesign, I think they would sell out here. Poor (wo)man's LC that has a little soccer mom/kid hauler but also appeals to the dudes. Towing has to also improve.

Earlier this year, I thought a black 2018 Sequoia TRD Sport with a Magnuson s/c was the answer. But it was really pricey and no dice on the s/c. I bought my Tundra instead.

 

They’re kind of in a catch 22. They aren’t selling them because they are outdated and expensive, and they can’t change that without investing in them. I also think that the massive SUVs are going out of style. The Sequoia may just be the biggest one still on the market, but I may be wrong. It’s bottom of the barrel MPG isn’t helping either.

 

The Suburban/Yukon/Escalade XL, and Expedition XL are bigger than the Sequoia. IMO it's actually one of the smaller "large" SUV's. With the third row seat up there is practically no room behind it.

 

There's a part of me that wishes I had never seen this photo, because now the mental
gears they are a-turnin'...dammit!

 

Ok, I drool over that color, and would like to have it one day on my Tundra.

That said, what is it? Paint or wrap? How expensive is a job like that?

 

Should be pretty much the same as the standard (shorter-wheelbase) Yukon/Tahoe and Expedition, though, I think. Toyota just doesn't make a long wheelbase version like GM and Ford do, it seems.
