Landcrusier also comes with a 10 airbags (most of any Toyota) and a pre crash system.
ABS also works in both hi and lo range.
Land Cruiser also has dual front tow hooks up front that are inter looped which can be pulled out or lifted up.
Also the Land Cruiser has a fuel door lock which is absent on the Seq.
Land Cruiser also has the keyless start...where is that on the Sequioa...even the Corolla has this feature.
Way more advanced in the Landcruiser. All functions are integrated with the nav system. Test drive a LC and you will understand.
All high end top line cars and suvs pad the interior pillars. This has been industry standard for years. Lexus did cut a bit out of the LX however. Even Avalon covers it. all lexus models do this as well. Most higher end vehicles also have rear taillights that LED and the 200 series has them as well.
While the Landcruiser lacks the IRS...it makes up in off road capability which includes KDSS and a crawl control feature...if ride is important then the Lx570 provides a very similar ride control system to the Seqiuioa.
Only a larger tow capacity in stripped down 2wd version of 5.7. big deal. Otherwise it is 8750lb for Sequioa while LC is 8500lbs in similar equipped vehicles. The 200 series also can haul a little more than the Sequioa 1500lbs vs 1200lb which I read there is a thread in the Seqiuoa forum about low payload. So with the larger interior of the Sequioa you can haul larger items but in the 200 series you can haul heavier items.
Not sure if you know but the Land Cruiser 200 series is sold in well over 100 countries around the world and has a full production line. It includes left/right hand drive vehicles. Four engines and three transmissions. They include 4.0, 4.7, 5.7 gas and an outstanding 4.5 litre diesel (that gets 10.3 litres per 100km combined) that is hooked up to the same transmission in the 5.7 gas. I would look outside the USA box before you conclude that the Landcruiser does not sell well. Toyota has sold over 5 million Landcruisers since the 50's. The Land Cruiser is so well know that they still actually make the 70 series for some markets that require a payload capacity of up to 2500 lbs.
Finally...I know you are convinced from your other posts that I have read from you that the Sequioa comes with a Torsen limited slip centre differential. Well. I am not convinced. I have yet to read any conclusive CONCRETE evidence that shows that the Sequioa has this features. It was reported in one piece of literature a while ago but I believe that it was a typo. Toyota.com and Toyota.ca do not list the Torsen differential as a mechanical feature on either of their website but Toyota does list the Torsen for 4runner,FJ, Land Cruiser and LX570...seems odd to me.
Also I have emailed Torsen and they have said that to their knowledge only Japanese plants have this feature. I can COPY you or FWD the emails to you if you want to read them.

Hey, If you love LC so much, then why start bashing a guy who loves sequoia? My neighbor has LX470 and i have Sequoia. Every time we talk about our cars, by far Lexus is much better then Sequoia, but you never look at the price difference.
Yes, Lexus has all of the options that you like, except that 72k tag?
Remember when gas was $1 for a gallon not too long time ago? What about our grosseries, taxes, insurance, tolls? Everything got inflated, cause US Dollar is loosing value comparing to other countrys. If you actually think, LC or LX is not expensive proportional to old prices.
If you love LC or LX save extra cash, and get it. For me, I love that Sequoia is a little bit bigger, and obviously, when I'll pay 52k for Plat 4x4, I will most likely keep it on pavement 99% of times. True, there is more options in LC, but who cares? How much time do you spend in you car? is it worth all of the options, for the price tag? On the other hand, if you have lots of money, and love LC, - why cry about price?
