Unless you are at the boat ramp, campground or soccer field with the kids, you have no clue how these vehicles are used on the weekend. I suspect you don't fit the profile for any of these uses otherwise you might have a better appreciation for why SUVs are uniquely popular in the American marketplace.

I have been to the boat yard many times. In my business I am lucky to around the water a lot in the summer. I have never seen one Toyota Sequioa hitched to a boat and I work near the shores of Lake Ontario, Erie, Muskoka Lakes, Superior, Muskoka lakes etc in the summer as well as close to some family and horse ranching areas. While I have never seen a Lx470 hauling a boat I had seen a couple LX470 with a small horse trailer. Most serious boat owners will haul with a full size HD crew cab pick up. The 10,000 lb towing of the Sequioa is actually artifical as you need to be alone in the rig to usually haul that much.
As for campgrounds, I have seen a few Sequioa and pretty much everything else at the grounds so big deal. Never seen a Sequioa with more than 4 people in it.

The Sequoia is a nicely appointed vehicle that is well designed for its intended uses with plenty of luxuries that matter to pamper its owner.

Thank you for admiting that it is NOT a luxury vehicle but in fact a blue collar SUV with some leather and a few extra features that are considered an upgrade. The Corolla has a push button start (which the Sequioa needs), leather interior, dual HVAC and heated seats....does that make it a luxury car.

The deeply recessed guages were a huge error on Toyota's part which will be correct on the mid cycle refresh. Also, the Navs system is from yesterday's vehicles and really is not integrated with the HVAC. Large door opening are great but really a bad idea in a cramped parking lot. Big mistake on the 2nd row split captains chairs. That is one of the biggest gimmicks in SUV history.
