Really?
Honestly?
You can't be this stupid.

>>14259224
I've always wanted some sturdy looking huge SUV like this. It looks pretty cool, mane.

>>14259307
So get a Sequoia or land cruise

I live in canada and I hardly ever see these turds anymore because they all rusted the fuck out and died.

name a fault then.
other than mpg (which is an issue of nearly every single suv) there isnt one.

>>14259405
>>needing an SUV to be fast
nothing needs to be fast m8
its always somethign to consider tho

on top of that, the land cruiser's problem isnt that it "isnt fast" its that its so slow that merging or doing anything that requires evasion is so unbelievably slow its legitimately dangerous. drive one youll see what i mean.

>>14259224

>>14259224
Fuck yeah. My dad has an 05 z71 with 315,000mi on the clock. Thing won't die.

He tows his boat with it and even does some mild offroading. It gets beat on pretty hard and is still kicking.

i dont have anything against toyota. theyve made plenty of good cars and plenty of bad ones, just like gm. if it helps soothe your autism, i own an fr-s in addition to my tahoe. brand dickriding is chilish. you retarded faggots who claim an entire brand is shit clearly have no experience with cars.

>minor
Nigga please
The front seats in my mom's z71 were the hardest seats I've ever had the displeasure of road tripping on. I often used the phrase leather covered rocks to describe them. The only car I've sat in with worse seats is my sister's 99 monte Carlo. And of fucking course the drivers seat was worse. The second row leg room may have just been the fact that, other than my mom, everyone in my immediate family is at least 6'2.

>>14259980
>>replacing hub assemblies every 50k miles
that is a complete exaggeration m8 at least make your arguments logical. my fathers tahoe has north of 300k and he's never replaced a hub assembly a single time.
i admit it is a weak point of the truck but lets keep it factual here.

>>14260008
my 90hp when new corolla that currently probably has 50hp can still get on the freeway doing 70mph on a short ramp.
I'm sure the land cruiser can do it too

>>14260020
Not him, but its not an exaggeration.
I worked at a shop and did these constantly

>>14260024
obviously it can do it, thats not the point. any car can eventually get to 60mph. is taking over 11 seconds to get up speed and merge while shaking violently safe? absolutely not.

>>14259224
Riding in my Grandpa's '67 C-10, they started circling the drain shortly thereafter.

>>14260034
im sure that happened anon

>>14260041
why would it violently shake?
as long as you can get on the freeway at speed then there is no issue
>>14260048
it did

>>14260057
>why would it violently shake?
kek thats a good question for toyota anon. clearly youve never ridden in one of them.

>as long as you can get on the freeway at speed then there is no issue
have you ever merged with a mind-blowingly slow car before? there absolutely is an issue. youre usually no where near freeway speed by the time you're forced to merge. youre left with no choice but to cut people off which is incredibly dangerous.
jesus christ you dumb nocars faggots are starting to get annoying

>>14260085
I have ridden in them. None have shaken
i just got done saying my 50hp corolla will get on the freeway at 70mph on a short onramp

They used to be Top-Tier, unfortunately they let the MBAs out of accounting and the product started to suffer by the early '70s.
GM built their last great truck in 1972, their last decent truck in 1987, and stopped building trucks altogether in 2006 RIP

>>14260096
sure you have.
both of the land cruisers ive been in shook heavily at (or even near) freeway speeds. they arent designed for it, its not really a fault of the truck, they just arent meant to do that.

>>14259421

it's fucking shit, even the 2016 model. i drove one at my last job as a chauffeur (2016 suburban) and i was embarrassed about how shitty the suspension absorb bumps on the road, how noisy the carbin is, how much tire noise can be heard, how crappy the transmission is at selecting the right gear. the only things i liked about it was the large size and decent mpg (averaged about 24).

>>14260198
Nigga you dumb.
If it shakes there is something wrong that needs fixed.
Simple as that. The ones you rode in were abused and needed fixed.
Same thing happens with Tahoes and suburbans and expeditions etc etc.

>>14260034
It's not an exaggeration. I replaced the ones on my mom's 2 times with the 100k that she drove it from 140k to 250k. Your dad's exception doesn't mean that many of them don't have that problem. I also work at an auto parts store. Aside from pads, rotors, and calipers, guess what I sell the most of on that generation 1500s in general... That's right, hub bearing assemblies. I'm not talking out of ass here, I've had experience with these trucks for 9 years.

>at least 99% of the Tahoe is higher
>tip of rear differential might be slightly due to a larger ring gear
You can look at pictures and see the Sequoia clearly does not have 10" of ground clearance. There must be some fuckery going on with the specs, likely due to you lying or with marketing. This is further evidenced by looking at the bumpers and approach angle. The Sequoia has more overhang and a bulky bumper that slopes up and back. The Tahoe bumper slopes down towards the wheels to help the approach angle.

Tahoes are better than Sequoias because you can get them a lot cheaper

>>14261895
>inb4 muh toyota beefier than GM 1 ton rear end
The 8.25" and 10.5" were available. The 10.5" is the same size as the smaller 3/4 ton GM rears. Most GM 3/4 tons have the 11.5" Stock tire size for the Sequoia is 245/70R16, that's 29.5" diameter Divide by two and subtract .5" for deformation from the weight of the vehicle, that's 14.25" to axle centerline. Half of the 10.5" ring gear is 5.25" At .25" gear clearance and .5" for housing material, that's 6" the diff should hang below centerline. That's 8.25" ground clearance. Comes to 9.375" for the 8.25" ring gear.

>>14261923
Tahoes also have way better rust proofing, the Sequoia has the same frame problems as the 1st Gen Tundra.

you can find tahoes left and right here in Texas for next to nothing, because mexicans and niggers alike recognize their 100% American value, but those toyotas are way overpriced pieces of jap shit that only stupid white people would spend money on

>>14262041
I don't know where you got those specs, but they are most definitely wrong unless there's a completely different non-US Sequoia and Tahoe I'm not aware of. The Tahoe approach angle MIGHT be right for the hybrid model, which has a lower hanging air damn because GM figured people buying the hybrid model weren't buying it to rock crawl with.

>>14261993
why are you comparing a 1 ton to a grocery getter?

>>14262083
Because morons on /o/ one time read an article comparing Toyota's larger axle to GM 3/4 ton. They think 8 lug = 1 ton, so that changed from a comparison with 3/4 ton to a comparison with 1 ton. And exaggeration changed that comparison into "The toyota is better", which they then applied to all Toyota axles.
