2013 Toyota Sequoia vs 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser

When you are thinking of specialize road machine, the Toyota Land Cruiser must come to your mind. After taking a year’s break, The Land Cruiser’s back; the 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser will start entering the dealerships in February. It is still huge with its off-road talents and it retains its body-on-frame design. It is still one of the most impressive off-road vehicle money can buy. Although one thing has changed, the amount of money you will need to get one has increased. With the arrival of the full-size, American-minded 2013 Toyota Sequoia which is less expensive, many car enthusiasts are now talking about 2013 Toyota Sequoia vs 2013 Land Cruiser.

While interior refinements, inspiring size, smooth handling, high performing engine and low noise intrusion are exciting features of the eight-seat 2013 Toyota Land Cruiser. The uninspiring look, choppy ride and sticker price of $77,955 are what reduce its appeal most. It comes with a huge price tag and a huge appetite for fuel (traits that put it in direct conflict with its sibling). It is so expensive; most off-road enthusiasts will not be able to afford it, and might want to look at a more affordable vehicle like Land Rover or the 2013 Sequoia. Pricing details of the Sequoia has not been released, but we expect a Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price range of between $41,955 and $62,570.
