I guess it's the evolution of a car buyer. I can't explain it either, but at the end of the day I'm getting a vehicle that fits my needs perfectly. Everybody has different things they want in a vehicle. I am a huge Toyota fan (and will remain that way) but they just don't have a vehicle in production right now that gives me everything the Enclave does.
Maybe I'll be back for the 2016 Sequoia. Best of luck to you all!
Fuel Economy. It would be great if they sprung something magical on us but I don't see it right away for three reasons..
..big heavy rectangular hunks of steel with big V8 engines will always have mediocre-to-poor fuel economy;
..a diesel seems the best option right away but they haven't given the slightest inkling of when a diesel will be available;
..GM seems to have staked out the hybrid technology for large vehicles. I'm certain that GM has multiple patents covering its technology. Toyota will have to come up with something else that works in heavy vehicles. So far not a peep.
Is there any way to find out how much larger the 2008 will be? I heard it might be more "Surburban" sized.
this is what it supposedly looks like. And yes you are correct. It is supposed to be somewhere between tahoe and suburban in size.
I currently own an Armada and I personally cannot wait for the new Seqouia to come out so I can trade in the POS.
Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
We appreciate the opportunity to address your email.
We apologize; unfortunately information on the 2008 Sequoia is currently unavailable at this time. Toyota will release information such as styling, specifications, feature & options, closer to the launch date. We currently do not have a tentative release date. Typically the new models arrive in the fall. To receive information as it becomes available, please subscribe to our Current and Future Models FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions). We are committed to manufacturing high quality vehicles that exemplify innovative design, styling, dependability and durability. In an effort to maintain the quality that is evident in our previous vehicle models, we continue to pay close attention to the detail in our future models. Your email has been documented at our National Headquarters under file #200706130800. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us.
To see what the new Sequoia might be like go drive a new 5.7L Tundra CrewMax. It's that simple. Finish off the bed and you've got the new Sequoia.
BTW the 'camshaft breakage' issue on the 5.7L Tundra's affected 20 units. It was a supplier metal production failure that was thought to have been caught but 20 got through.
Toyota, like the retail outlets, wants you to buy the current models and not wait for the next iteration - at some time in the future.
Check out the middle photo. Is that an extented version or are they all going to be that long!
Well, we just bought an '07 and I think I am glad I didn't wait. I don't need something THAT big! I need seating for 8, room for a stroller behind the third seat, and the ability to tow (really tow, not a minivan type tow) a heavy pop-up camper.

Let's just hope that the long anticipated Sequoia really comes out this Fall and goes on sale shortly thereafter and not as a 2010 model.
We have waited long enough!

Suddenly the new model doesn't seem so large in those spy photos.
Toyota might finally be giving GM some full size competition! First giving us a new full size SUV (and truck) with full size gas sucking power. Then throwing in a hybrid power system into the full size SUV (and truck too???).
Looks like I just may hold off on my '08 Highlander purchase and wait for the new "Flagship" Sequoia hybrid. :shades:
Toyota: (if you are reading this) please keep us informed on the up and coming Sequoia Hybrid details so some of us don't go out and foolishly buy a Tahoe Hybrid. Thanks!
Well some actually would have a hard time caughing up the additional $15,000 it will probably cost for the Sequoia. I assume if the article is correct then the Hybrid model Sequoia may only come "loaded"? If so, that's a $50,000 vehicle.
PS: If a loaded 4x4 '08 Highlander is $42K and a loaded Highlander Hybrid is going to be around $46K then I doubt many people will be able to afford the new redesigned Sequoia fully loaded at around $50K with the Hybrid approching $60K
Here comes my late Friday night rant...(Do not read if you are politically or anatomically correct)
Who says the declining value of the US dollar is good for the U.S.? Mix together high energy prices, high housing and food costs, falling real estate values, stalling wages, rising unemployment, tightening credit policies, declining education, dissappearing healthcare, increasing crime rates, corrupted politicians, a falling US dollar, and you've got the perfect storm for hard times setting in. Instead of buying a new, gas sucking, tire and brake and oil eating, depreciating, recall effecting, $40K+ SUV... I'm going to keep my old car on the road as long as it can and with the money I'll be saving I'm gonna dig myself a bomb shelter under my garage and stash some gold and silver coins, some guns, and lots of spam! My wife and kids will prolly leave me because I won't bye them no fancie new vehickle to drive round in. Then I'll hafta change my name to Mater or sometin. (Like Ta'mater but without the Ta'.)...
Or maybe I'll just buy my family a nice used suv for around $25K and start going back to church giving 10% of my income happily every week to the velvet lined colection basket and praying to God that everything will be OK.
But that would be no fun...
Maybe I'll just start picking up bottles and cans from the side of the road and buy the new shiny Sasquatch come Feburary and skip the church thing. God help me decide!
:confuse: God help us all!

Do you know what the "Platinum" is going to be, I have never heard of this before. Normally, the LTD has been the top of the line so could this be a higher level?

Where did you find information regarding what options come with the Platinum model?
And did your dealer have a price list available when you placed a deposit?
Thank you for the information that you have already provided.
