    Man i saw a beautiful magnetic gray TRD. Off road but honestly they kills it by non flat storage, can’t remove 3rd seats, and no rolling window
    Instant deal breakers for most especially the price tag

    I really love almost everything about the new Sequoia but man that huge hump in the third row is ridiculous. When you are trying to load a stroller or other large item and you can't just slide it back would be extremely frustrating to deal with on a daily basis.

    Great video. 3rd row and cargo is so clunky and is by far the biggest con for this beautiful car. For the huge sacrifices made to make it a hybrid, the MPG still isn’t great. The spacing and layout of the cargo is worse than my ‘15 Explorer

    I have an LX570 and the amount of time I need a lot of space to store things in the back of my SUV is like once a year, so this Sequoia would work just fine for me.

  • @calvinkang1224
    @calvinkang1224 Рік тому +2

    Thanks for your time for doing and uploading this video. I always admire Sequoia while driving my 4runner because of that third row comfortness and humongous cargo space(120Cubic Feet I believe), and now it looks way better than before but those two things I admire have completely gone. Oh well, I can't afford either new or old models anyway, just some nonsenses.

    • @americandude3825

      New sequoia has less cargo room than 4Runner. 2 cubic feet less.
      35 cubic feet less than 08-2022 sequoia

  • @jasperfoxtrotsixsix

    Jeff, I have 23 Sequoia TRD Pro and been in search of those cargo mats that protect the rear seat carpet and trunk. They look OEM, your description mention it but no link 🤷🏽‍♂️ help!

    • @SyluM7
      @SyluM7 Рік тому

      Jasper, any luck finding those all-weather cargo mats/liners for the trunk and 3rd row seat backs? I have a 23 Sequoia Platinum and have been trying to find them as well. My local dealer gave me the part number of the cargo mat itself (PT908-0C235-20), but they weren't able to find the seat back protectors. I agree with you - I'm confident they're OEM because Toyota has them in the background of the offical pictures for the 23 Sequoia cargo mat.
      These same mats/liners were also in another 23 Sequoia video Jeff did (8 minute mark): ua-cam.com/video/H82bJT6I1D4/v-deo.html.
      Please let me know if you find them.

    Thanks for the detailed video Jeff. I have one on order for almost a year at this point. Just recently I finally got to test drive one. Loved the power, design and tech but hated, absolutely hated what Toyota has done with the 3rd row! Third row seating comfort is mediocre at best but he cargo situation is absolutely the worst in it's class. You can't fold the third row down and fit 6 large suitcases in any configuration - period!
    Also, you can no longer haul larger items by folding 2nd and 3rd rows down. What was Toyota smoking?

  • @Nixonskitchen

    This is not even remotely close to being worth 70k dollars. The Sequoia lost its roll-down back window, an iconic piece to the model. The variable storage is a gimmick at best and would have suited better to have a traditional flat floor. It doesn't even lead the large SUV market for towing capacity. It looks good on the outside, but the new generation feels disappointing. Granted my opinion barely matters, and Jeff I do enjoy your videos.

    • @alexnutcasio936

    • @GrummanCheetahPilot
      @GrummanCheetahPilot Рік тому +2

      @joe mama I’m not sure we can count on the reliability just yet for this new gen. Granted I’m sure it’s had more development and testing put into it than the last 20years of GM’s and Fords, but at this price point it’s not a steal. You’ll make storage capacity concessions on this over a Tahoe or Yukon and in this market for family haulers Toyota has come short. I wish the floor had been flat even if they raised it a little. The tray is not going to last long term use. Plus I just realized I bet they charge for remote starter service on this as they have been doing on the Tundras. I may change my mind completely after I see one in person and drive it, but I’m leaning away from this model at this point. I’m currently a 2Nd gen owner and have owned one 4-runner, 3 Sequoias and a Tundra.

    This would be infinitely better if they offered it with the old v8 over the hybrid powertrain. Flat floor, better third row headroom, more functionality of the cargo area, not to mention likely more reliable.

Haven't had it for a week, but like the ride. Apple Car play let's me use iPhone and Google maps 😀 rather than new subscription-based Toyota Navigation If we need to use more cargo space, we'll take our old Highlanders!

    I had a prior Gen Sequoia and it was a great vehicle but a farking gas hog. I mean 10-12 city and 15 highway. Even feathering the throttle, I’d get no better than15 mpg. It had great room, but was a gas pig.

    We waited years for this truck to replace our current Sequoia, getting on the dealer's waitlist in January 2022. A TRD Pro finally showed up in December and when we saw the third row and rear cargo area firsthand, we walked away. The truck is gorgeous, but we're buying a full-size SUV for max space, period. Disappointing.

    They really killed the interior on this car. No roll down window that third row sets you back on being able to stow cargo properly or if you wanna tail gate its hella awkward and also nobody wanted to be a hybrid and not a shocker that the third row is tight. Id rather get the Tahoe or the Armada

    No, cargo space is not good in the 2023 Sequoia. The vehicle is in desperate need of a 3rd row delete option and flat cargo space with the 3rd row deleted.
    Being smaller than a 4Runner behind the 1st row is a gigantic fail.
