@@matthewalexis perfect size wagon yes with a diesel wish it still had the solid rear axle like 2 row custom trail boss be perfect for a car camper overland build add a pop up camper top , as a off-roader I have no need ,want Or well ever have a use for a 3rd row I want cargo space pay load
SEQUOIA

Tahoe
I love Toyota, but they need to get rid of their dealerships, all of which is asking $15k over msrp. A GMC Yukon is looking really good
AGREED
The rear cargo space that you marked as a highlight was exactly why I immediately decided I wasn’t buying one cause as much as I wanted to love it I need the flat loading space of a full size SUV the fact that the 3rd row juts up and messes up the whole rear cargo shoes they think the only thing people use large SUVs for is to haul a bunch of kids.
I want to build a car camper overlander but the 3rd row takes up to much space when folded bad design
I love toyotas and hondas. Our family has only ever owned both. The trunk & third row is also why I am also looking at both a Chevy and GMC now as much as I didnt want to.
The trunk space is a joke. Toyota managed to make an SUV that looks way bigger from outside than from inside. If they have just upgraded the old Sequoia with modern safety and center console it would have been a home run
I have to say that my 20 year old first gen Sequoia does better 3rd row origami tricks (and 100% removable), provides more cargo room (6' Kansas-flat and bumper height), has the same 4x4 system (minus the terrain select), gets the same gas mileage (with a 4.7L V8), and was not $80k to buy, refresh, maintain, and mod for the 5 years I've owned it (it's been about a tenth of that!), the double-DIN radio slot makes it easy to upgrade infotainment, and it has the cool roll-down rear window. After that list, I might argue that my old truck competes better than the new one!
Born and raised on Ford! Fallen in love with Toyota reliability! Brought my Expedition Platinum 4x4 love it! 3 rows of people averaging 5'8 to over 6ft! All were comfortable! Don't think it'll be possible in this new generation Sequoia!
Excellent review! For that money, I would want an independent rear suspension… Even if I overlook that, the lack of a full-time four-wheel-drive or auto position is a nonstarter
Awesome review as always.
bad ..add price dealer markups , 3rd row takes up to much space when folded ,large hole in between the 2nd 3rd row , good add better looking grille than tundra , shorter wheel base ,do like the solid rear axle
Wow, nice vehicle but dealers in the Phoenix area are charging a $15k premium over list. I’ll look elsewhere for another vehicle.
$20-30k mark up in the san Francisco Bay Area on capstone and TRD PRO
30-35k markup here in New York, wish we could buy direct from manufacturer
I was excited till I seen the back cargo are. As a family who love to travel that cargo area is horrible. We would probably break that separation board on our first road trip using it lol.
No full time 4 wheel drive or AWD is a deal breaker for our purchase.
Master reviewer. Thanks!
The big gripe I have with the new Sequoia is the rear solid rear axle. Which of course feels more like a truck. It does 3 additional things I don't like. The ride quality suffers, traction suffers and the space in the rear seating/Cargo suffers all due to having the battery back in the rear. Moden SUV's have that nice independent double-wishbone setup with better traction, comfort when driving and of course more space in the rear. I own a truck; I don't want to feel like my SUV at 80k drives like a truck too :) Dang shame.
I came in here to see if anyone else think the same as me. Your comment was on top at the time. Glad to know I wasn't the only one that noticed that. Also for me is I will miss the roll down rear windshield.
I got one exactly same color, trim today . This is my 5th sequoia I've owned .
Congrats!
How much
I've always loved the Yukon Ds but I'm leaning towards this,
Very compelling review. AWD is very important here in Colorado. Did you say its not available in the Sequoia? Thank you. Oh and I like chrome
Never understood why none of the seven or eight passenger suv's on the market don't have the cargo to match. It's just a people hauler now, not a suv.
Second row flip seat was a purposeful design Behind the passenger is the most dangerous place to put a baby seat. Behind the driver is the safest right side doors get hit when you make a left-hand turn.
But I have an infant car seat and toddler car seat so…
Good video, crazy price.
I’m not a big SUV person, but boy it seems like Toyota knocked it out of the park on this long overdue Sequoia. Impressive interior, especially the detail to the 2nd and 3rd row seats. Progressive drivetrain, I don’t require a thirsty V8. But in my eyes, it’s a bit of a fail on the lack of rear independent suspension. But a beautifully styled SUV!
It seems they prioritized towing over a comfortable ride and the rear space.
Only styling is where they excelled. Everywhere else Toyota has made since absurd choices. This model will kill the Seqouia forever.
Excellent vehicle don’t like third row seats not folding flat. Would like to see the sequoia extended so you have more space behind third row seat. All wheel drive version would be a plus. Will keep my 2021
So they are charging more for a upgraded Forerunner. I’ll keep my 2016 until I find something reasonable.
I had a deposit for this for almost 2 years. Finally I was up and went to see it, but opted out due to less cargo space and the rear window no longer went down. With 3 Newfies I need the room. I’ll keep by 2018 forever as it only has 16,000 miles. And…. It’s paid for. The price tag the dealers are asking for the new one is just ridiculous. $20 grand over MSRP
Does it have a full size spare tire? Also,is the engine designed to operate with start/stop technology?
Why not make the third row optional? Allows for more cargo space and less weight. Grand Daddy can sit on a lawn chair if necessary.
Very promising and with a ton of potential, but until they fix some of the most annoying quirks it's a big no for me - especially at that price tag. Hopefully they'll get it right in 2025.
My favorite feature of this vehicle is the button in the cabin that nukes your family budget for the next 84 months at 9% interest. 🎉🎉🎉
🤣🤣🤣
Did he just say less room in the second row then a highlander?!? 😂 Great job Toyota
My family has one on order ;)
Unless you wanted to tow ...I think best bet is to go with Grand Highlander Hybrid XLE or Limited not to break your bank hehehe!
I was interested until i saw the cargo area.... im passing on this one
im not getting any higher than 17MPG and im babying the car, 15 on normal driving...
Shouldn’t have bought that piece of shit
How did they screw this up given the significance of the competition? Cargo layout, ride and power train cannot be a compromise
WELL THAT WOULD BE OUR USA GOVERNMENT 🇺🇸 FORCING HYBRIDS AND MAKING V8S ILLEGAL
Trunk setup is a deal breaker, what is this mess there with little shelf to move around? WTF? I like live axle in the back but part time 4wd in 2023, you gotta be kidding me. Even Jeep wrangler has an option for full time 4wd if you want one.
I really wanted one, but the lack of cargo space and thst horrible third seat ruined it for me.
Comon with child seats in the way, I would have set them in the 3rd row seat.
The third row and cargo area are an unmitigated disaster.
The Land Cruiser is back for 2024 but it will be small, cheap, and not as luxury as the 98 through 2007, the newer Land cruiser will only seat 5 since the Sequoia is now the largest Toyota SUV
Cargo area is a big problem.
There’s nothing good about the sequoia
The sequoia has to be the most CATASTROPHIC suv redesign to date. Period. Overpriced cheaply built, lackluster mpg, cramped interior mean it’s DOA even before it hits dealerships
I bet by next year or two this will be killed off
I won't argue about the rest since, frankly it's tiring at times that we argue again and again. However, when it comes to being killed off, it depends on 3 things. 1. How well it sells in the next 2-3 year 2. More marketing for the vehicle. 3. And this one is the MOST important, how much success will the Grand Highlander have. If the Grand Highlander outseels the Sequoia like 10-1 or more, then obviously the Sequoia will be killed.
@@arhamkhakwani5851 grand highlander is meant to be a high volume seller. The Sequoia is not
I call this Gen the dog discrimination model.
IDK …. I really like it. The masculine looks in the power. But I can see from the comments a lot of people have strong negative feelings. 😟
Twin turbo? Super questionable. Yikes.
No you can’t get more power from a Tahoe, Yukon or Escalade. The max power they put out is 420 hp
You mean $80k + $25k dealer mark up. Good luck at resale.
20 mpg for such large SUV still a win.
No one is getting 200mpg in this car. Everyone is reporting 15-16 mpg
@@Enarjay7891 was too good to be true, I'm sure keeping my eye on the new taco hybrid for at least 26 city
Many owners have complained about the mpg and are reporting 15-16 instead of the advertised 20
Am repairing one right now, it got rear ended and yes I noticed this one has 14 mpg which is terrible
That's really bad!
Toyota sequoia is really nice
My dogs can jump in the back without tripping over seats in my 2018...guess I will just drive it into the ground!
This sounds like a commercial cause everything you luv most have not

1st gen owner saying hi
Hello there 👋
Am I watching Doug MeDuro copy! 🤔 Dude you sound like Doug, are you his little brother or something! 🤭

@@dwnshft 😹😹
All the changes are net negative
No full time 4wd and $80k??. They’re cheating out big time!!
No V8, No thanks. Twin turbos won’t last long if you do anything with it besides regular driving
Toyota doing a honda thing! They will not care less about customer feedback! Who wants a gigantic suv with less interior space tjan a subaru and one mpg better tjan the old one? That rear cargo space is a joke!
everything is nice about the Capstone except that 22in wheel. It feels autozone-ish.
Lol I can see what you mean 😂
80K suv with that tiny cargo. No ty...
Baby car seat is the issue?Really ?🤦♂️
It has the worst Ride ever, you will break your back while riding the sequioa capstone. there is nothing comfortable about this car. If anybody has options to change the rear air bag to springs .......hoping for your reply
It looks like a Chevy. That’s definitely not a good thing. A truck should have a V-8 that is my opinion. You don’t buy a truck of that size for fuel economy.
No roll down rear window deal breaker.
White interior is a bad idea. It will always look dirty.
FOR THAT PRICE IT BETTER BE A V8 AND NOO I DONT WANT A HYBRID ITS PERFECT MINUS THAT SO NO😊
Super expensive Japanese suv and no it’s not a bargain it’s over $80,000 how is that a bargain you can get a dually that can tow triple the amount and more luxurious than a Toyota bow if it was diesel that would be a bargain. Turbos not so much at least not on gas engine it it is made in the U.S so I can see why the mark up but I think Toyota needs to step it up either get diesel or drop prices and this is coming from someone that’s owns 4 runner and has had rav4 and Tacoma I like Toyota but prices are getting crazy
Too small on the inside for how big it is on the outside
i could agree
Awful cargo area. It needs to be flat. How are you supposed to have a dog back there? How can you sleep back there?
Lack of fold flat 3rd row is deal breaker. Terrible design.
Toyota Sequoia or Chevy Tahoe?
Really, reliability V sh!t is the question?
If your interested trading option but my car 1967 with 500000 thousand Km still I m looking someone add some extra money thank you everyone for sharing

Orland Toyota will not honor the warranty for my tire sensors. During both visits, the employees admitted that the part(s) is covered under the warranty, but they will not resolve the issue. #UNDER36000MILES #IDONOTTRUSTTOYOTA #TOYOTAWILLNOTHONORTHEIRWARRANTY #TOYOTAEMPLOYEESWEREEXTREMELYRUDE #FIXMYCAR #RUDEMECHANIC #RUDEMANAGER #RUDESERVICEREP #DONOTBUYATOYOTA #PROPAGANDA
80k,,,for a car,,,NO THX.
Toyota just launch Suzuki cars just change logo in India and Toyota playing with Indians why why Toyota not launch his own cars
There is no "we" in the move on conversation. "We" are not buying ANY vehicles with these dinky turbo motors. I'll buy used from now on.
Terrible.
biggest floe is no-diesel option.
Window shades 😂 Who GAF have you heard of tint?
I love you more..... love you
