I wonder about the children's world when the people who buy huge SUVs are gone.

Does anyone else have as big a problem with this commercial as I do? "Buy a Sequoia and you'll instantly have a schedule full of hippy dippy camping trips and Ooh! Let's sleep in the back of it with our knit hats and patchwork quilts. And let's bring along the sketchy old man with the scraggely beard and telescope. He's so delightfully earthy." In reality, these are soccer mom tanks that aren't driven any further than the Target parking lot. Somebody shoot me. Better yet, shoot THEM.

Calm down before you have an ulcer. People do what they want.

The commercial was shot in Mojave Desert with the help of the Antelope Valley Atronomy Club. We are proud of the commercial regardless of some of 'artistic freedom' Toyota may have taken. They treated our members great and were open to suggestions. And 'the old man' is an amateur astronomer from our club of which we are very proud and honored to have as a member!
