    I bought a 2024 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro! Today I'm going to explain why I bought such a seemingly out of character vehicle and I'll show you some of the quirks and features. I'm also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it's like to drive.

      Dragging mom, dad, wife and little kids into an off-roading adventure is very Griswold-esque, to say nothing of driving his family from San Diego to New England and back once a year.
      Usually being a dad to very little kids means you don't have time to offroad like you used to, but Doug hasn't come to that realization yet. The burden of parking this beast in small spots, and getting kids in and out of doors that swing outwards will take a toll within a matter of minutes. He will be buying a minivan within several months - mark my words.

      You're referencing the Countach video from a few days ago where at 14:04 I say "People ask me what I'm buying next, but I am not planning anything else to my cars." You quoted that part.
      You left off the very next sentence, literally the very next words, which are "I have a new daily driver coming." That's this car. I specifically mentioned it's coming. In fact, I had already bought it when I recorded that video, which is why I mentioned it.
      And yet you have 1,000 likes and people criticizing me in the comments for lying to my audience! And this, dear viewers, is why the internet hivemind is bad -- and why you can't trust every stupid, out-of-context quote you read from an Anonymous Internet Person :)

    @splkzyy Місяць тому +57

    sequoia gets comfier when it’s fully loaded. because of how heavy it tows, the suspension is significantly stiffer to take on the the heavy weight. so when it’s under pressure is where it really settles in and becomes comfy. also the TRD PRO has stiffer side walls and off-road tires generally make a car feel slightly stiffer. if you are looking for comfort you should probably try the limited or platinum with no more than 20” wheels. it’s the way to go. also, the trd pros need at least 3000 miles till the suspension gets run in and gives you its max comfort

      While I think the new Sequoia does many things well it lacks things for the price. I am referring to the Capstone trim level. The seats are too stiff, I felt like I was sitting on bleachers. The lack of a folding flat 3rd row is unacceptable when everyone else can do it. The hood is flimsy and flexes when you drive in a decent wind.
      Very sharp vehicle, I was let down when I actually saw it and drove it over 150 miles.

    You made a great choice ! I wanted one so bad but ultimately settled on a new Suburban high Country Deluxe last year. We had the similar requirements but we also tow a rv and wanted range while towing and the duramax delivered that on top of that we are a large family of 8 and frankly need the long wheel base.
    In 2025 we will finally be able to get a z71 with the duramax.
    Might be a better option for both of us then. Super cruise air ride suspension over 700 miles of range is fantastic

    I'm surprised he didn't consider the Lexus GX. It's essentially a Toyota, three rows, arguably looks better, has a better interior, and not too far off in size to the last gen full-size Land Cruiser Doug just sold. I also suspect it will retain more of its value than a Sequoia over time as well.

      The new GX doesn't offer any of its off-road hardware (MTS, crawl, etc) with three-row seating. I needed both three rows AND as much off-road capability as I could get, so the GX was eliminated. Bad product planning decision from Lexus.
      (After driving the new GX I'm especially confident in my decision -- the third row is tiny and frankly the ride quality isn't much better than the Sequoia's.)
