I've been disappointed with this generation of LX, and unfortunately it doesn't seem like the hybrid does much to make it better.

The only other thing I'll say is that 2023-2024 Tundras and Sequoias (gas and hybrid) are still having engine (main bearing) failures, so I wouldn't touch anything with the V35A until we go 2-3 years hearing that there aren't any more catastrophic engine failures. Hopefully 2025 models are where things turn -- I know Toyota has made several part number changes to blocks and critical components, so I hope they're close to figuring out what's going on and making this engine more reliable.

The review of the 700h seems positive, many mentioned that the powertrain is smoother than on the Sequoia and Tundra TRD Pro.

Does anyone know if the Sequoia has the same extra alternator and starter as the LX 700h, or is it exclusive to the LX?

I just delivered my 2022 LX 600 to the dealer to have my new crate motor installed. They said it would take 7-10 days. I am the 1st owner to receive an engine at my dealership. I had 63,600 miles on the old engine. I asked the dealership about what type of warranty I should expect on the new engine but I have not heard back from them yet. I didn’t have any issues with my old engine.
