Happy Weds everyone! Even though we could not physically be at the Toyota event last week, our good friend Alex really helped us out so we owe him big! We were a little surprised by his 0-60 MPH time of 6.9 secs, we’re looking forward to seeing what we can get when we test one back home very soon. Be sure to also check out Alex’s video on his channel after you’re done watching this one! We’re also 100% recovered now and heading to AZ today to drive the new 2023 Escalade V!
3:31 : The most realistic car reviewer I've seen in quite some time ! To the Editor, thanks for leaving all of Alex's quirks and features in the final cut!!
This is one of my favorite Redline reviews as of recent. Alex your personality is perfect for these reviews! 1:55 the way he paused and looks over at the camera is straight out of a comedy.😂
This SUV is definitely getting a space in my garage.

Alex you killed it! Great review as always! You and Sofyan should guest star on each other's channel!! Just like radio disc jockeys did from the 1950's to the 1980's!! My two favorite reviewers Sofyan and Alex!!
Sequential Turn signals. Hybrid powertrain. Panoramic moonroof. 12.3” digital display. More power/towing capabilities. Better infotainment. Why would anyone choose a LX over this?
Especially since the LX doesn't even offer ventilated-massaging FRONT seats, only in the rear and only in the tippy-top $130K model. Nor is the hydraulic suspension standard anymore.
Love hearing Alex dropping some F'bombs lol. We definitely need more of that lol. This sounds like a lot of misses to me. I like Toyota a lot, but I am not impressed. It does look good though
@@kylem324 for me the big miss is the amount of room in back with the seats folded down. It's insane how bad it is. I'm not sure my dogs could even stand in the back of the new sequoia. My armada has way more room and it's always been small compared to the sequoia. This new sequoia looks really good, but utility speaking, it's a miss, especially with no tow hooks, even on the TRD Pro, which is just nuts. The price doesn't help either.
Toyota messed up with cargo and third row space. Ford and GM did a much better job packaging the Expedition and Tahoe to give decent cargo space while also giving a third row adults actually can sit in for long periods of time
Totally agree. I was going to reserve mine at a local toyota dealer but after seeing the trunk space and the fact that the 2nd row doesn't move was a total deal breaker for me.
I think Toyota missed the mark on the Sequoia and the Tundra. I guess sales numbers will tell the tale if the Toyota fan boys will overlook the obvious shortcomings.
I think Toyota got lazy in not putting Independent rear suspension in the Sequoia like the previous model. Especially since the Tahoe, Expedition, Armada are IRS. The previous generation 3rd row was pretty roomy and floor was lower since there was no live rear axle.
Love your review and just being straight up honest. The ride and the third row seating with the shelving system did it for me.I was waiting for the reviews to come out before I made a decision am now going with 2022 Z71 Tahoe I will pick up next week.
Well that was a different review than we’re used to (LOL). But still a good review. This Toyota is a great SUV, but I’ll never be able to afford one myself but the lucky folks that can will find a great vehicle made by a great car company. Thanks for giving the trucks that little salute, I do it all the time.
Their voices are almost the same I didn't realize it was Alex at first because I wasn't really paying much attention when I first started playing it. Great job on filling in.
Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite UA-cam channel by far. It’s an absolutely amazing monster that we can dream of driving one day, if we’re so lucky.
I really like this redesign a bit disappointed with the 3rd row headroom but it’s fine cos I don’t really use the 3rd row in our that often anyway, the hybrid powertrain is really enticing especially in stop and go traffic, definitely more efficient than the last GMC Yukon 6.2 we rented 😂
Great overview as usual Alex! Though the build quality on this vehicle will not be at the level of the LX built half by hands of the great takumi masters at the famed Tahara plant in Japan but it seems this vehicle has more features. Sadly Lexus really did a half baked job on the new LX in my opinion plus this vehicle looks better!
@@jacobrael9872 Agreed! And I know for a fact that since moving several models to be built in Kentucky along side the camry and Avalon, they have gotten cheaper feeling in build and assembly quality. Never had that with my previous 5 LEXUS ES models that were all built in Japan! Also my Kentucky built 2019 has had 3 recalls and my previous 5 built in Japan had none. Coincidence....? I think not!
Wondering if Toyota will come out with a "extended length" version of this...that'd solve the head rest issues in the third row seat and also be in a league with the Suburban, Escalade ESV and Yukon XL
I'm so disappointed with the new generation of Tundra and Sequoia. It's as if they sat down and asked "what do people love most about both?" Then decided to to the complete opposite.
This thing is seriously under-baked. The GM 6.2 and Expedition are faster despite being less powerful and not as torquey. It is more cramped than the Big 3, and despite all its hybrid hoopla, 20MPG ain't all that.
Toyota really dropped the ball on that battery placement. That horrid rear storage area makes this a complete non-starter for anyone in the market for a 3-row simply for the extra space, and planning to keep the 3rd row down most of the time.
A Kia Telluride has more cargo room with slightly better 3rd passenger legroom in it's position. Granted, it's not a hybrid but what's the point of a large SUV when it's barely better or equal to space wise than midsize SUVs/CUVs?
I would like to know if the Capstone will come in any other interior color? I am not feeling the white and black. I do not have a problem with the 3rd row because in truth the 3rd row is not for people who are over 6'0 feet tall.

You exposed his potty mouth, lol.
Glad you feeling better.
He did a decent job, good great value version of you lol
Hey Bud! Im a Nurse and business owner..Glad you are feeling better!
Probably a little cold?

It was intentional. If you were following Alex and Sofian enough you'd know he is mocking Sofian 🤣
I like this guy's style. He should have a permanent position at Redline.
He has his own channel
His channels are Alex on Autos and EV Buyers Guide. I’ve been watching him for 8 years and he’s my favorite of all the car reviewers
Yeah this guy is a good dude. His channel is great as well.
He is a good man
Would be great to have you both collaborate more. Great review!
Literally do it all the time
backstreet Boys and *NSYNC will NEVER collaborate, oops I mean Alex & Redline.
Alex was spicy on this one! 😂. Plus it was really poignant driving a vehicle that is probably worth double the houses that he was passing.
I think Alex needs a Snickers! 🤣
This is one of my favorite Redline reviews as of recent. Alex your personality is perfect for these reviews! 1:55 the way he paused and looks over at the camera is straight out of a comedy.😂
Alex is the effing man! It's heartwarming to see him help you guys out like that.
Great video Alex! I think this SUV is great. Really interested in seeing how this will hold up 4-5 years from now.
It’s a Toyota
You're a real one for covering for Soyfan and did a great job,would like to see both of you collab or more your reviews on this channel.
This SUV is definitely getting a space in my garage.
Alex you killed it! Great review as always! You and Sofyan should guest star on each other's channel!! Just like radio disc jockeys did from the 1950's to the 1980's!! My two favorite reviewers Sofyan and Alex!!
I truly love seeing this collaboration between car youtubers. Especially Sofyan and Alex!!!
Great,Fun,and Funny Review!!! The fails and cut-out takes are AWESOME!!😂😂😂. A+++++++++++😂❤❤❤
Excellent with the bloopers, I've always seen your videos but now with the bloopers I like it more...
Lol, The retakes cuts are awesome 👏
Sequential Turn signals. Hybrid powertrain. Panoramic moonroof. 12.3” digital display. More power/towing capabilities. Better infotainment. Why would anyone choose a LX over this?
My thought exactly!
Especially since the LX doesn't even offer ventilated-massaging FRONT seats, only in the rear and only in the tippy-top $130K model. Nor is the hydraulic suspension standard anymore.
This was fun, guys! Let’s see some more crossover material. Great review! 👍🏻
Love hearing Alex dropping some F'bombs lol. We definitely need more of that lol. This sounds like a lot of misses to me. I like Toyota a lot, but I am not impressed. It does look good though
I’m glad you’re disappointed. Because it means I was right all along that this suv is dead on arrival
What areas do you think are misses? I think both battery chemistry and capacity has been poorly judged. I want it in a PHEV.
@@naveenthemachine oh naveenthemachine .for you every toyota and lexus is dead on arrival .😂. You are proven wrong again .i feel sad for you .😂

@@jonesjones7057 Your dogs sound massive. Thanks for the breakdown.
Man this thing will look real good sitting in front of my garage 28 days out of the month.
Laughed my FAO at the bird flipping!!! Love the co-labs of the best reviewers
lovin the bloopers
Keep at it u guys 💪🏼😄
Alex comes through again!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
This guy has a good humor, would love to see him more in reviews
Check out his channel Alex on autos, he's an excellent reviewer
Toyota messed up with cargo and third row space. Ford and GM did a much better job packaging the Expedition and Tahoe to give decent cargo space while also giving a third row adults actually can sit in for long periods of time
Totally agree. I was going to reserve mine at a local toyota dealer but after seeing the trunk space and the fact that the 2nd row doesn't move was a total deal breaker for me.
I agree! I've rented a Ford Expedition twice and the interior space is phenomenal. Adults quite easily fit in the 3rd row
I think Toyota missed the mark on the Sequoia and the Tundra. I guess sales numbers will tell the tale if the Toyota fan boys will overlook the obvious shortcomings.
@@weirdshibainu I hope they don’t. It means suckers are born every minute
I think Toyota got lazy in not putting Independent rear suspension in the Sequoia like the previous model. Especially since the Tahoe, Expedition, Armada are IRS. The previous generation 3rd row was pretty roomy and floor was lower since there was no live rear axle.
This is really making me want a 4runner redesign…
It’s coming next year!
Careful what you wish for. It'll look good but otherwise, it's gonna suck.
this is awesome, great collab guys. Love how Alex is channeling Sofyan throughout.
Love your review and just being straight up honest. The ride and the third row seating with the shelving system did it for me.I was waiting for the reviews to come out before I made a decision am now going with 2022 Z71 Tahoe I will pick up next week.
Thanks Alex for filling in. Great EP!!!
Two of fav car reviewers? Double thumbs up!

I thought I was watching Alex on Autos. 🤣 I like the attitude on this one.
I am enjoying this video so much! I need him for every car review!
Hey Alex just so you know we're one family, I'm one of your subscribers and also Redlane subscribers. good job on the review 👏🏽
Well done 👍 Alex
i literally laughed out loud at the cussing and bird flips. i love seeing character in people presenting clean and formal
Their voices are almost the same I didn't realize it was Alex at first because I wasn't really paying much attention when I first started playing it. Great job on filling in.
Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite UA-cam channel by far.
It’s an absolutely amazing monster that we can dream of driving one day, if we’re so lucky.
I like this guy. He should have you do more reviews
Lol I love the comedy 🤣 of the redline reviews
This is the best. I love Alex
I LOVE THE OUT TAKES😂😂😂 you guys did an amazing job
Alex fighting with the third row got me 🤣🤣😂

Alex and Sofyan have great channels. I like the cross over - collaboration.
Love you guys. Thanks Alex and get well Sofyan!

Sadly all the new lexus models coming out right now seem half asses, especially in terms of interior design
@@jacobrael9872 Agreed! And I know for a fact that since moving several models to be built in Kentucky along side the camry and Avalon, they have gotten cheaper feeling in build and assembly quality. Never had that with my previous 5 LEXUS ES models that were all built in Japan! Also my Kentucky built 2019 has had 3 recalls and my previous 5 built in Japan had none. Coincidence....? I think not!
Man I throughly enjoyed that review!
The part that Alex were mocking Sofian for his hiccups 🤣 roof rail fking roof rail 😂😂 Alex you are amazing
It looks luxury and sporty all at the same time.
This style of video is 10/10
Wondering if Toyota will come out with a "extended length" version of this...that'd solve the head rest issues in the third row seat and also be in a league with the Suburban, Escalade ESV and Yukon XL
Im actually looking into buying one of these but i think ill wait for the sr5 trd off rroad
Absolutely loving the bloopers
I’m not a Toyota fan,but I love that suv!
🤣 the middle finger. Love these guys!
We need unedited collaboration footage with Sofyan and Alex. I think we’d all watch that
The new Sequoia is much improved over the old one. Looks nice.
Wow! Excellent review. Thanks!
Thats when you need good friends! Good job Alex!
Thank you Alex!! And get well soon Sofyan💜💜💜
Toyota should really have an extended version of this new sequoia.
They won’t. Even if they make this gargantuan it’ll have less space than a short wheelbase Tahoe 😆😂🤣
very interesting to see alex change up is original type of review, really impressive he can change up his method to match Redline Reviews.
Good luck Toyota in selling more than the old gen Sequoia, this is Lexus LX price.
Outstanding review!!
😅😅😅 I love the way you both works together, keep doing like that!!!!
Hello from Panama.
2023 Toyota Sequoia Capstone evolution in design looks great ! Slainte' ! Cheers !
Good job Alex on helping Sofian out!
Who?
Let's be honest, $70,000+ for a 4Runner XL is insane.
You get 583lbft, good mpg, and it's the top of the line that'd 70k which is luxurious
@@dude-yg9ez but it’s not a “luxury” vehicle, it’s only priced like one which is my problem.
@@ROFLWAFFLE1911 never said it was. I said it was luxurious.
How much do you think it should cost?
70k does not buy you much these days. It's the new $40k
What a great guy to do that, character move
I'm so disappointed with the new generation of Tundra and Sequoia. It's as if they sat down and asked "what do people love most about both?" Then decided to to the complete opposite.
I blame California and the climate change fanatics
I completely agree. Everything people want is glossed over but a big screen.
This thing is seriously under-baked. The GM 6.2 and Expedition are faster despite being less powerful and not as torquey. It is more cramped than the Big 3, and despite all its hybrid hoopla, 20MPG ain't all that.
@@hellkitty1014 you’re correct. I love the idea of a Hybrid but it only gets 20mpg which is just meh. I would expect 25mpg+
What do you think is missing?
Love the collaboration!!
Love Alex, great job!
Looks awesome, but that front grill looks like a cheese grater 🙂
Thanks for subbing in for Sofyan! ☺️
This is a cool crossover! And SUV.
Finally a sequoia I'd love to have.
Loved the Review Alex!
LOL!!! Alex is great! Went from Professional to Getto in 3 seconds at 1:56
That small of a third row is fine in a smaller SUV like the Sorento, but not ok on a full size SUV that's worth so much dang money
Redline and Alex on Autos .... we need way more collab with you guys.
I love it! Wish the grill was just a little smaller
I really like how the both of you & Sofyan support each other 🤎.
Alex was about as hectic or irritated as ever seen he-he. The most amazing thing is that there will be guys who want only this vehicle or nothing
WOW, Amazing! Alex is here, that is great! I follow him too...
The Hybrid Power Train is great considering the price of gasoline these days.
Thank you for sharing and YOUR APPRECIATION
Excellent edit right at the end.
Gr 8 review Alex but the bloopers r the best🤣
Really satisfying first look, really good presentation
Fucking roof rails rob lol
Call your Mom.
Thank you Alex
This dude is way funnier than the actual owner of the channel 😂😂😂 I laughed so hard at the bloopers.
I thought I recognized the original location :) ECR baby!!
