Test drove both. Best bang for your buck is the sequoia. What I purchased.

[hellkitty]

In this comparison, the Sequoia does seem to offer more for the same money. But over the term of ownership, the GX will retain higher resale, will have a better dealer experience, and although 95% will never go, it is far superior offroad.

It still strikes me as odd that the Sequoia is so large on the outside, but small inside compared to its true competition of the Tahoe/Expedition/Wagoneer.

[davidhouston]

I have a Sequoia. But I'd pick the GX luxury + over the Capstone Sequoia

[bbeadles]

The deal killer for the Sequoia is the third-row seats that don't fold flat so the extra space is a waste. Try putting your dog in it with that shelf and gaps. You are definitely correct on the dealer experience, especially in service. However, some Lexus dealerships are drifting away from a great purchasing experience with a dealership last month refusing to sell me a LX600 unless I financed it. I want a Toyota in a couple models, but after going into the dealership and trying to purchase, I have to leave and go take a shower. Finally, I trust the mechanics at Lexus much more with issues of wrong oil filters, etc at Toyota dealerships.

[davidoday]

That was by far the most detailed side by side that I've ever seen... Great job :)

[Motorheaddoc]

The GX’s full time four wheel drive vs the Sequoia’s part time system was my deciding factor.

[Niles-Guy]

Love it when you compare vehicles side by side . Hoping you do a 3 vehicle comparison

[Charlie]

I love my Sequoia. It’s perfect with my two small kids.

And it’s fast off the line. I can’t help but gun it all the time. I’m doing 0-60 in the mid 5s.

Kills my MPG 😂

[mikejachimiec]

Lexus hands down on styling and customer experience at dealerships.

[seikocitizenwatches]

Roominess, daily tasks driving: Toyota Sequoia
Class, Luxury & off-road prowess: Lexus GX550.
Personally I’d prefer the Lexus, it’s more desirable especially if it is for personal ride, but happy with either one.

[Marc-ncyv]

should have 5 points off for the rear storage area in sequoia, its so bad with the different levels

[tpp]

You should’ve compared the Lexus LX to the Toyota, they are both very similar in sizes, the Toyota is a bit longer

[ThisGuyRocksLikeCrazy]

The GX is an all round great car. Sequoia's bigger space is not well utilized. You can't move the second row seat back and forth, which is kinda a big deal. However, the fact that it has a better fuel economy and acceleration than the Lexus, it still makes it a great choice.

[Shadownian]

I so wanted a Sequoia till they showed it off with that horrible back cargo area with the uneven floor. The stupid placement of the batteries which doesnt allow you to move the second row seats. Both of which you failed to mention. And the fact its basically a turndra from the second row forward.
Not to mention that the sequoia has been a pain to find so most dealers are overcharging for them...up into the 100k range.
So now with the 2 row version of the Gx having much better room, no batteries to deal with long term, and a much more modern and unique look....ill be going GX.

[chanlybob]

2025 Sequoia looks amazing as well. Look forward to tour review that :-)

Thanks for this awesome review. I will take the Sequoia after seeing this review.

[Tomichi]

Good review but one thing you didn’t show was the folding third seats. I know this to be the case with the TRD and I believe with the Capstone as well, the third row doesn’t fold flat. Which means you don’t get the extra cargo space. This is a deal breaker for me on the Sequoia, partially because it’s so annoying to not have that extra space. This is worth 5 points easily to me in your scoring system.

[mattmarcoux]

Seems like the a closer comparison would be the gx550 to the new upcoming Land Cruiser. The Sequoia seems closer to the gx600.

[JeremiahMedina]

I think it would’ve been more fair to compare the hex to the grand highlander, they’re both midsize SUVs

[braalo]

The GX is better than any other Toyota and Lexus SUV right now. It is a complete package and well put together for both offroad, refinement, ruggedness, shopping, picking up kids from school and overlanding. The next is the new Land Cruiser

[URLex]

So why not use the LX 600 which is the larger vehicle? The two are completely different for a comparison.
