naw, new ones i seen a platnium, asking price was 51, thas not the price you pay if know how to deal, loaded, tv, heater cooler for seats, navi, headlight washer, back up cam, remote start, much more. TRUCK IS PURE SEX!!!! Ride is super smooth.. Takes off FAST. I LOVE IT. I will be getting that. Also paying a bit for more for a new one is worth it. Screw the range, sequoia HERE I COME. BTW they satart off at 35k. I can probably pull off teh one i want for about 46-48. They overprice is too much out here. Already bought 4 cars at that dealership, so i know how they roll.

Glad you found the one you were looking for.. Sequoia is a great truck! I daily drive a Tundra myself so I can easily see why you like it. It has very good power, bad boy looks and can haul ass. Get the 5.7 iForce V8!! Post pics when you get it!

I gotta get rid of the 4runner first didnt think id have a pick so fast lol. But im ready, gonna be a white peral peanut butter interior. I wanted a tundra but something that would work with family is sequoia. Truck looks hot plus they got a 0% interest right now. Ill let you know when i get it and trust me it will be a 5.7. Wierd how the 5.7 does better then the 4.7 in gas. 14/19. My 4runner sucked ass, with a 3.4 v6 it gave me 16/19. I heard a platinum isnt good if your gonna put rims also is it worth getting a 4wd? Im planning on just getting a 2wd.

You mentioned winter t rips... go with the AWD.

Btw, check out the QX56... god that thing is comfortable.

it seats 7 and is amazingly roomy for all seats. There's room for luggage as well. You should check it out before you purchase your Toyota =P.

My buddy drives one, and I love it. We take it from the suburbs to Chicago all the time with 7-8 people.

Don't really need AWD if you're only driving where there's snow every once and a while for family trips. If you live in a climate that includes all four seasons (actual winters with snow and ice), then I can see it being useful. IMO, FWD will do you fine.

The drawback w/ the Sequoia (other than that damn dash layout) is it's in its first year of a redesign. I really don't like buying brand new models and would much rather wait till the bugs are worked out.

I like it I think it looks really nice. Its big but if this is what your looking for it should be nice. The only thing I dont like is how far the Navi is from the driver.

It really isnt too far, its nice and roomy. i often go out of town for like 3-7 hour drives once a month so it will be very COMFORTABLE.

if it was me I'd look at a new Toyota Land Cruiser.
has the 5.7 i force standard . 4x4 standard.
the Land Cruiser kind of has that older Range Rover look to it.
BTW: DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GO WITH A LAND ROVER PRODUCT. they are less dependable than a pothead to work.
unless you own a tow truck ,garage and either you or have a mechanic that specializes on Land Rovers your screwed if you get one.

I don't know how anyone can say the new Land Cruiser looks anything like any Range Rover product ever.

That is on a 4wd but starting to think i should just get a 2wd, never needed the 4x4. Have a 02 4runner 4wd and only have used it ONCE.

Let's go straight for the manhood jugular here: If you need to spend an extra $3000+ to use 4wd maybe once or twice in the time you own this vehicle, then you might not be carrying your weight IMHO.

C'mon harminder, WORK IT! Real men drive and succeed with 2wd in terrible conditions......and they save the extra dough for important things like steak, poker tournaments, Tiffany jewelry for awesome women, and high return foreign mutual funds.

Unless your granny is going to drive it in the snow once a week, get the 2WD, chains, and save a Cartman sized pile of cash.
