    I was in the page as it was taken down. Still have access so I grabbed screen shots.

    I'm assuming that's OK? @ColoradoTJ @Squatting Pigeon

    I really like it. Hope 35s fit like the Tundra. I might consider trading my GX in on a TRD Off-Road. :monocle:

    This is all of them. Figured the rest of the pics revealed were already assumed by all. My bad.

    The pics tell me I made a good decision not waiting for the redesign and switching to the Tundra. The Sequoia is likely going to start around 54k and its main value is the third row. That photo shows the third row is shrinking considerably. I just traded in my 2018 Sequoia and the head rest never came that close to the roof line. I don't think the third row is going to have that value now. Dropping 54k on a well loaded Limited Tundra vs a base 2023 Sequoia is a better bang for your buck. If you need a full size SUV, might be time to check out something else.

    I see the Sequoia gets a colour matched piece under the grille so it doesn't look like a catfish. :frusty::censored::annoyed::facepalm:

    Fingers crossed that's coming for the 2023 Tundra too.

    I like most of it but the back end reminds me of a Tiguan or something like that.

    ETA: I think it would look better if they made the C pillar follow the back end. It looks more sloped than it actually is.

    it looks like they use a platform in the back to level it out, but now the vertical space is cut

    I was considering a Sequoia as an option to a Tundra with a Leer cap, but not anymore

    Back window not rolling down, cargo room (height) looks meh, and I'm not huge on the side profile.

    I want to love it, but it isnt an instant yes for me. Will have to see it in person.

    Capstone looks better than the TRD Pro in my opinion. Which surprised me.

    After looking at the pictures it seems to have lost a little what made a Sequoia a Sequoia.

    The fold down cargo area looks weird and too small.

    What would make this better than a Tahoe?

    Headroom, legroom and cargo space look smaller in comparison to the 2nd gen. Will need to sit in one to figure out if I can live with it.

    Because it's a Toyota, automatically makes it better than a tahoe.

    At this point: price, perceived reliability, and dash layout?

    Not a slam dunk. That's for sure :(

    Looks to me like the back window is the same as my 2018 Highlander...has two hinges at the top to pop open.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if it has a Tundra-style part time 4wd. We shall see.
