Pretty much all of the design updates you reference were by 3rd party suppliers or applications of Toyota investments from the Tundra/Sequoia design platform.

Explain this to me. The Tundra/Sequioa both share the 5.7/6speed. 6 speed is built in Japan. The 5.7 for 200 series is built in Japan while the the Tundra/Sequioa version comes from the USA. The 5.7 is a design that is modeled off the 4.6 Lexus LS model...not a USA design. As for features. The 200 series ups the the Sequioa in everything except for rear fold flat, interior space and tow capacity....but GVWR offsets that. Tell me how the 200 series was designed off the Sequioa platform. Everything 200 series one ups the Sequioa.
The 200 series and the Sequioa were design by different departments in Toyota Japan and USA....so they are not the same.
