That's certainly a point. The other point is you can settle for complete mediocrity in other aspects to get that reliability. I have told this story before-so forgive me if you have seen it. Son's girl friend purchased an $80,000.00 Sequoia. He was buying radio control knobs by the dozen because they would constantly break. Now-some guy on a Toyota forum has a cottage industry printing knobs that don't break in his garage on a 3 "D" printer and selling them for $50.00.you cant put a price on toyota reliabilityy. i will take substance over flash any day
Not to mention a Sequoia has less interior room that any of it's competition.
