2018 Toyota Sequoia TRD Sport | The Best 3rd Row? | Steve Hammes | TestDriveNow 

Sad thing is they won't do that because Toyota is notoriously stingy with discounts.

Old,reliable

They don't discount much because they don't have to.

Right Lane Hog They also barely sell any of them. Their sales compared to the competition are absolutely laughable. Ford sells over 5x as many expeditions and GM sells over 10x as many Tahoe’s alone. That’s not even counting the Yukon, Suburban, or Escalade. That figure probably more than doubles when you include those trucks. People aren’t interested in buying an outdated truck that lags behind the competition. If they made the pricing more competitive they’d sell more of them.

You are correct the competition sells many more but I would choose quality over quantity any day.

Man O War yup..5100 all 4 1” spacer on my limited + air bag helper (deflated n i never tow).

Man O War Good luck finding one that’s depreciated to $30k that hasn’t had the piss driven out of it. These things are so overvalued used.

KentB27 yeah they are I recently bought a 07 navigator with 90k miles for 11k. I wanted a lx570 or Land cruiser but they were all 30k+ . My navigator is sitting outside with a leaking radiator. In the 3 months I've owned it I've swapped the whole air suspension to coils(the airbags were leaking, Dealership did it for me for free ). a/c went out with previous owner so they had it replaced and overfilled had to bleed some out(dealership did it again for free) the radiator cap went out 2 weeks ago(easy fix just left me stranded had tow), the other day the heater hose burst right as I was pulling up home. ($80 part) installed it today and started filling up the coolant to realize something happened to the radiator as well and it was leaking horrblly. ($160). This was all in 3 months. I had a Lexus I bought with 200k and it didn't have one issue with for the year I own it. there's a reason they don't loose there value. I really love my navigator but I'm really hoping this is the end of it. If this keeps going I'm gonna have to get rid of it.

@@97I30T ive been looking for a 14' or newer not a million miles for under $30k and not had any luck

@@MLProductions.1 only 90k miles and you're dumping $$ Toyota= reliability

DM, A couple of months back Automotive News reported that TMC is in the middle of a complete redesign of their full fleet of body-on-frame trucks/SUVs. It may take another year or two for them to reach market but at least you know your 2012 should still be running strong when the new ones arrive.

Miguel Ircontar Agreed 100%

It does have the highest residual value.

That might have been the case a decade ago but today the bank set residuals are going towards GMC Yukon at around 60% where Sequoia is 57-58%, so says Edmund's. forums.edmunds.com/discussion/43459/gmc/yukon/2017-gmc-yukon-lease-deals-and-prices

Heming Feng They’ve been promising a redesign for both the Tundra and Sequoia for years and they seem to keep postponing it for whatever reason.

I suspect the redesign will arrive when it is ready unlike the competitors who let unsuspecting consumers discover the flaws.

Tundra, Sequoia and 4Runner are all being redesigned for the 2020 model year. Fall 2019 release.

Daniel B we are not accept redesign. We demand all new Toyota Sequoia, Tundra and 4Runner. Motherfucker Toyota company such lazy job!

Billy Sou It’ll be back from repair shop on Friday. No damage to Sequoia

Thanks!

Andres Arteaga - Steve says his drone will be fixed by Friday.

Dylan Wells the tundra...

Just don't cut it down!

Seriously, this model has been stagnant for soooo long. I have a 2012 and this is barely different.

Give it 5 years or 100,000 miles and you’ll wish you didn’t keep it. Meanwhile this sequoia will be barely broken in.

danny kelly, I really don’t care what it’s like at 100,000 miles. I get rid of vehicles after five years anyways. I’ve owned twenty vehicles and my diesel is by far my favorite.

Thats why its cool af

anasim facts

Billy Sou the Toyota PCS systems do not work and therefore insurance companies are not offering a discount. There are a couple of videos showing them running into obstacles on RU-vid.

You’re right: most people who buy a new Land Cruiser drive right off the lot to their nearest off-road course.

TestDriveNow Reviews by Auto Critic Steve Hammes please Im dying for a jeep review and im particularly interested in how well it handles the grocery runs.

James Connor This is what people do with Wranglers: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3UEZmItqDv4.html This is not how Americans drive new Land Cruisers - sorry. If you think that you’re delusional.

@@stevehammes Plenty of us off road our landcruisers. If you were part of the group you'd know that. Hell there's a local here running his at the Baja1000 every year since he's bought the truck. Plenty of us who drive Lexus's off road as well. Get real. You don't run in these circles so how would you ever know? Plenty of clips on FB and instagram of folks building their LX's and LC's.

I'd like the competition to 'progress' to the point of equaling Toyota's QDR.

Go buy your unibody crap elsewhere. Plenty of those kinds of vehicles around. There's a huge market for body on frame with good reason.

How’d the Armada work out?

@CM Burns Absolutely 💯 happy with it! 😊👍

TJC450 It came out in 2006 so you are not very far

Tony Joker 2008 was the release of the second gen Sequoia. Look up a 2005 sequoia, they look much different.

I'll have the new one next month. We'll see but this is better than the previous Fords.

TestDriveNow Reviews by Auto Critic Steve Hammes I don't think that's fair to say. It may be better then the Explorer but the expedition has kinda been the third row seat comfort champ since 2003. And the last gen expedition(2015-2017) has more legroom. Plus even just looking at the seats tells the same story. The seats in the expedition are thick and tilted upwards so your thighs are supported, while they seem to be relatively flat and thin in the Sequoia. The Sequoia may be miles ahead of the Tahoe and Suburban that seems to dominate everyone's mindset when they think about full sized SUVs with third row seats, but I just don't think it's fair to say it's better then the Expeditions.

rangerover06sc The Expedition has a good 3rd row because Ford has moved into the 21st century and put independent rear suspension on the Expedition. Most of the competition still has space wasting solid rear axles in the rear. The 3rd rows on the GM trucks are laughable compared to the Expedition’s and Navigator’s

KentB27, This Sequoia has independent rear suspension .

I thought the expedition had roomiest 3rd row!?

Couldn't agree more! So outdated.

Why remove it? It folds down flat.

Right Lane Hog yeah I needed go to Toyota design center for 2019 Toyota Sequoia second row seat I am pretty satisfied and loved the tree

And I saw it for Lexus of Austin tx Lexus LX570 second row seat that’s was very biggest space many things

Mag neto My father was going to buy either one of these or a Tundra and decided against it because of the abysmal gas mileage.

you will save in the long run due to almost 0 maintenance

JKIZZLLE Not really though because if you buy a GM or Ford full-size SUV you can easily get $10-15k off of the sticker price. Toyota won’t give discounts like that. You would never recoup that $10-15k more your paid upfront for the Toyota.

honestly thats pretty fair. It would have been nice to buy one of those fj cruisers though. They have lost nearly none of their original value.

Most ppl who can TRUELY afford a 60k truck are not worried about an extra 100 bucks a month in gas vs. a more normal SUV. Most people who buy 60k vechicles have household incomes over 250k. Look up the stats.

Raff Time Toyota, and Honda, have been testing on their laurels for sure.

This is untrue. Have you not seen the Camry, Corolla and RAV4? Nissan is lazier. Look at the Nissan Frontier.

Amazing how folks don't understand the point of tried and true that will not fail, and would rather have some trash that falls apart outside of its warranty. Don't like it, buy something else. Plenty of us who care about a vehicle that works with less garbage to go wrong.

I think the gmc savanna is worse

I think it's a great way for money saving bargains. You lose little and gain a lot. He is obviously discouraging people from Toyota but not trying to look to obvious. The right tow package would push it up to 10000 lbs.

I've heard ppl are actually getting closer to 11mpg
