Sequoia to RX-330?

If you can squeeze almost 18 MPG out of a Sequoia, there is NOT reason to get rid of it. It will take you 100 years to justify the gas savings versus a Highlander/RX330. The REAL question is what magician do you know who is getting you 18 MPG on a Sequoia?

Your issue is car boredom...not the need for a new vehicle.

Agreed on the boredom part. But still it is way too much vehicle for our needs. It was probably too much vehicle for us from the very beginning. :-) The 3rd row seats have never been used and have been removed for the past 18 months. According to Kelley and NADA info it has kept it's value fairly well.

I have found that the doo dad above the rear view mirror (trip computer) on my Sequoia is optimistic by about 2 1/2 to 3mpg from reality. Try checking your gas mileage the old fashioned way and you'll likely see that yours is the same. This is common on the Sequoia. I don't think there's any way to average nearly 18mpg with the Sequoia unless nearly all of your driving is on the highway.

I went the other way, from a RX300 to a GX470. About the same size as the Sequoia. I like the larger feeling that the GX gives. We went from a GMC mini van to the RX initially. I don't need the extra room either since it's only the wife and me now, but the room is great. I won't go back down in size.
