    Still can’t fit anyone in the back seat unless they’re Lieutenant Dan Taylor.

      I dream that some day we will possess the technology required to make a mid-size truck with a usable back seat (that isn’t a Jeep).

      Current Tacos, 4Runners, and FJs all have the Reverse Tardis effect of terrible interior packaging and space utilization given their exterior dimensions. I was hoping that Toyota figured out that part but the all-new Sequoia is equally deficient.

        It’s a safety thing. Older 4runners were the reverse of this because they had very thin side walls and a boxy shape, so to maximize cargo space (and in the process decrease safety). All old SUVs are like this.

        Now you have to fit in a crumple zone, and airbags, and noise insulation, and blind spot sensors, and additional wiring. You’ll never see a vehicle that matches the spatial efficiency of itself 20 years ago because we require too much crap to be shoved in the sidewalls.

        Now we’re shoving in batteries, so it will only get worse.
