01 / Verdict

GX or Sequoia: who leads on what

Each line is the maker’s top figure for each model across its configurations. A lead is on that best configuration, so it depends on cab, bed, engine, axle and options; the closest matching trucks are compared below. Only a maker’s own figure decides a lead.

Towing and GCWR: The GX tows 9,096 lb, the Sequoia 9,520 lb. The Sequoia leads by 424 lb on its best configuration.
Payload and GVWR: Only the Sequoia has a payload figure in our data: it carries 1,730 lb of payload. The GX has none, so no leader is named.
Ground clearance and angles: The GX has 9.8 in of ground clearance, the Sequoia 9.1 in. The GX leads by 0.7 in on its best configuration. At the best configuration: approach angle GX 26.0°, Sequoia 23.0°; breakover angle GX 24.0°, Sequoia not in our data; departure angle GX 23.0°, Sequoia 20.0°.

Every figure, group by group

Each cell is the range across the maker’s 2026 configurations of that model, with the small number of the document it comes from. A figure that is an estimate, an owners’ report or a third-party figure wears its mark and never decides a lead; a group where one model has no maker figure says so.
