2024 Toyota Sequoia TRD PRO Mountain Course Off-Road Review 

Remarkable thoroughness in your work, while you manage to keep the videos engaging. You consistently keep very high standards. Congratulations!

The audible warning signals still on all these off road packages drives me nuts. I don’t know how I survived the first 40 years of my life without them to save me from myself. 😂

$80 grand is ridiculous, but apparantly that's how ridiculous all SUV prices have gotten. It'll be interesting to see sales numbers at that price point. Great video! It's a very, very nice vehicle in my opinion.

good video! The last trail that you couldn't make it up, I think if you started aggressively up the hill you would have made it. Slow and steady won't work on steep grades, put your foot on the pedal and be the boss!

Love the content! Ever since your snow review of the '23 Sequoia earlier in the year, I've been looking forward to a Sequoia review on the off-road course!

A good thing to note is that the watered down Falkens also don’t have nearly as much tread depth as the normal ones do. So that also impact their ability to grip and climb

I really like what they've done with this truck.

I think the lack of space, lack of auto-4WD, horrendous mileage (for a “hybrid”) and $80k plus price tag is ridiculous!! Love your SUBARU jacket you’re sporting Ryan! ❤

I appreciate your work in giving us these videos. Love your off road reviews. Top notch.

I really like what they've done with this truck😀

Price aside, the real killer here is the lack of a usable and configurable cargo area, especially for something based on a truck chassis. Who wants to buy a shelf that *raises* the load floor on an already tall truck just to get a flat surface? And the inability to remove the 3rd row seats? It's a terrible use of space. I like Toyota but this vehicle seems unclear of what it wants to be. The new Land Cruiser/GX looks much better designed for this role and the Grand Highlander seems much more comfortable and utilitarian around town for a family, etc. Do people actually offroad their 3-row vehicles with 6+ people in them? Seems like such a chore.

If it wasn’t true that atrocious cargo area I would have considered it. Happy with my 4Runner, much more functional despite being “outdated”

I want to like this, but at that price and no fold flat rear its a solid pass for now. Hoping they can find a way to get a flat rear in a few years, or the next 4Runner has similar looks with a flat floor.

Airing down would of made a world of difference.

Now go test the Chevy Tahoe, Cadillac Escalade or Ford Expedition on this track see how they perform

Great video! Sadly, as a 35 year buyer of new Land Cruisers, including an FJ60, 100, LX570, and 200, I have realized this vehicle is not for me. Non removable third row seats? Huge battery hump? No AWD? Together, this results in a deal breaker for me.

I wonder if that beeping proximity indicator could be turned off while off-roading. Because if not, that would be fun to listen to.

Thanks for the review

Can't wait to see the new Toyota Tacoma review

Thawing ground can be the most slippery condition you will ever encounter. I remember once while hunting I came to a fairly short piece of thawed dirt that was straight and level with a crown in it. First time through I was going faster at about 10 mph and almost lost it! It was scary because on each side of the road were boulders up to 2 feet high. When I had to come back through that section I went down to low first gear and was barely going 2mph. You guessed it. It would start drifting to one side requiring a short stab of the throttle to steer back to center only to keep going almost sideways trying to balance the weight on each side of the crown. I ended up snaking through it that way and could not believe the almost total lack of grip. If the road had been all like that I never would have made it up any hill and would have had to wait for the next freeze to get out.

Toyota struck out with the back not making it a flat floor. I think they could have done a better job with that part.

Love it !!

definitely the biggest capable offroader out there

Oem tires suck. Remember the Goodyears on the Colorados? Lol. Same tires from Discount Tire are way better. 3 peak ratings, deeper treads, different compounds.

Jesus Christ, the price...

Back seat not going flat is an issue to me. That throws off the trunk space, when there are better options out there.

It did pretty well considering the sheer size and weight of this vehicle.

I like the 2010 through 2020 Sequoia better than the newer one, I wan't V8 not hybrid twin turbo v6 with electric motor.

Toyota together issued a powerful Sequoia that even the ZR could not

Can’t wait till you do the gx550.

$80k?? It better pick my nose and wipe my butt for that much! 😂

Whats more comfortable and roomy to drive on the road; Sequoia TRD or Honda Pilot Trailsport?

Yes 80 grand is ridiculous. Despite the claims the frame and engine are shared by lx and lc300, quality is definitely not the same as the lc and lx made in japan. Big fat avoid!

Last time you drove a Subie in a Toyota jacket, and now a Yota in a Scoobie coat!

@6:30 did I hear you say you “just drove the new Toyota Tacoma?”

i prefer the older videos to the new ones. the newer ones giv s a really good overview of how they perform, compared to older videos, overall i still like what the content is but prefer older videos over newer ones produced. Idk if brands / manufacturers are involved in the reviews just seem more cautious vs actually testing boundaries or limits of vehicles.

I like your cool Subaru jacket 🙂

Locker only works in low range just like the Tundra. Really wish it worked in 4 high.

There are better choices. Sales of those things will probably drop drastically. The back floor is split level ? The guy who designed that should be fired. Savvy buyers will be looking at other vehicles.

I live in a very densely populated (and high cost of living) state, and have yet to see the redesigned Sequoia on the road. Makes me wonder whether these things are in demand, and, if not, why?

While this is nice, I’d wait for the GX550 overtrail. In my opinion it looks better, has more luxury, and is probably more off-road capable due to its smaller size and better approach and departure angles. It also will be cheaper than the Sequoia TRD Pro, with no hybrid stuff.

Love this SUV. I have taken it off road a few times, but every time is just like the last part of the video so I’m like FK THAT☠️😂😂😂. Then I just turn around. I had a 23 limited 4Runner that I bought at the same time and I took that the next morning and it went up like butter. The sequoia I won’t take off road anymore lmao. If you want to make it up that hill, consider that 4Runner. Otherwise you are risking 100k on the hill😂😂😂. Still love the Sequioa and plan on holding on to it. Great SUV🔥🔥🔥

If im correct i never saw a wrangler review on your channel.. 🤔

Finally, some new info on the new tacoma😂

Great content! Get your hands on a new Defender for your off-road course.

A great vehicle hampered by the 3rd row, lack of space in the rear.

This vehicle is full of compromises..the list is long and I will never trade my 4runner for this..ever

Would you do an off-road test for Ford Expedition Temberline trim

It needs slightly bigger tires. The tires need to be more All-Terrain. It needs more skid-plates. It needs the third-seats easily removable. The bumpers need to have the bottom plastic parts removable. It needs tow-hooks. It needs a better roof-rack. It needs the spare-tire mounted on the outside.

I am retired now p so I would take me to every state I could I'd have it shipped overseas and do some some over landing I sure could use

$80k + additional dealer markup + tax + registration + higher insurance due to all the electronics. Basically $100k vehicle. Smarter money would be to buy a fairly well maintained high mile used Sequoia for $10-15k. Put a new engine in it. Lift it. All new suspension and tires. Aftermarket infotainment with full exterior camera system and light bars. All-in you'd be maybe $25-30k tops. And you'd have a more reliable, more capable vehicle that will still be on the road another 100,000 miles beyond the landfill this luxury barge is sitting in in a decade.

Sequoia TRD PRO with 7 seats. I don't understand the logic from T. Who would use it with kids in the back and no space for cargo? I would say at least offering 5 seats is a must. Why use it if there is Land Cruiser? Sequoia supposed to be cheaper, this is not. I like that Subaru jacket. Would fit my Forester well 🤣

Does Toyota actually sell any of these? I live in the Northeast, I've seen exactly one of them in person since they were released.

What is annoying is that the back row seating is not fold flat and they are cannot be removed so you are stuck with them. That is simply poor design by Toyota.

Are all the new SEQUOIAs hybrid?

did you or would you air down?

80k hahaha no...... Ill just go get a old escalade put a lift kit and diesel in it for maybe what 15k.

A really limited cargo space for a tank like Sequoia? That's something to think about.

☝️😊 Toyota 4runner or this would be my first choice for a new vehicle, I like the hoarse power on this model. Just rugged enough to go off road for fishing, drive the beach or even snow,, toss the dogs in and your good to go

Will work for test course time

Thankfully, these stay in Costco parking lots.

Am I hearing engine knock at 14:58?

that condition was the best you could have frozen dirt is like pavement

I can't believe there isn't a Sequoia trim that offers full time 4WD.

80k and no flat floor ... c'mon man

In Puerto Rico mspr is 125000 😅 ugh

I thought the rear locker only engaged in 4-low.

man if gas prices stay the way they are i might actually pick one of these up or a new tundra. or wait for the new taco or land cruiser havent decided yet. either way love these things!!!

Did the vehicle not come with sun shades?

Interesting how the Crosstrek Wilderness has more ground clearance. $80K is nuts!

My 3 year old Ram truck allows you to turn on the rear locker in 4wd high, 4wd low, AWD, and even in 2wd. And unlike this Toyota, has front tow hooks. They need to take the "Pro" off this Toyota. Three silly yellow lights across the hood doesn't make an offroad vehicle.

All that money and it doesn't have sun visors 😂

in Puerto Rico it goes over 100k it's stupid

I would like to try my 2022 outback wilderness on your track. 😊

what kind of boots do you wear?

Theres no fucking way that massive thing gets 17mpg even with hybrid system.

sunglasses?

Ive seen one irl there absolutely massive idk about you but I really wouldn't take it offroad.

Top of the line Toyota SUV, and all they offer is rear wheel drive with computer assisted PART-TIME 4WD?!?!?!?!?!?! Give me a Subaru any day over this hot mess!! Oh yeah ... and the Sub will be half the cost. smh

On reading the comments, made me aware that you do NOT have freedom in your choice of SUVs, looks like it’s a somewhat restrictive “merrygoround” circuit of largely the same makes of vehicles.

What happen to Karolina?

Love everything except the price.

does this guy believe in airing down?

DRAMA QUEEN. check yourself, let your video speak for itself. no need for all the drama and overhype. i enjoy most of your videos.

Brand new Lexus GX is 15 grand less.

Its going to be fun watching the GX550 kill off the Sequoia after 2 years... Toyota really f=ed this one up. GX550 Overtrail+ at $77500 or Sequoia TRD Pro for $82000. You'd have to be a nitwit to go with the Toyota.

I would buy one.... If i could remotely afford it. So never

You lost me at "big engine", 3.4L vs the last models 5.7L, plus it's a hybrid 👎

Idk if its the drone shot but that sunroof looks so small😂

News flash. Nobody drives for efficiency. Pointless mild hybrid. Give me a v8 where I never have to pay thousands to replace some stupi batteries.

Whole point of Toyota is cheap price & reliability. For luxury they have Lexus, but seems like Toyota is getting greedy.

Поменяйте водителя, ну что за чайник у вас ездит. Трасса легко проходимая, он кабенится на ней.

The lack of proper storage makes this vehicle useless. Wish they offered this as a non hybrid with the 3rd row folding flat into the floor. Would’ve purchased one already if they had done that.

This vehicle is very nice. But inside quality is very very cheap. Specially front seat sides. Crack's after 5k mile. Other sides also cracks will little tension. I am regrading buying this vehicle.

Машина хорошая, вводить никакой

80k lmfao

Its horrible as a Full size 3-row. The interior room, 3rd row seating, and rear cargo/layout are the worst of all the big SUVs. It's overpriced, overweight, and gets worse MPG than the old dinosaur V8 it replaced. NO THANKS. Not to mention, my 2013 ford expedition EL can tow more than this thing LOL.

Crawl control up the ladder! Try again !!!

Dont put a toyota in the same class as a ford.
