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. 😂

Was seriously contemplating purchasing a 2024 Sequoia TRD Pro. Had a deposit on one. Then I made the decision to cancel it. The hybrid system with the rear seat/cargo design ultimately caused me to pass on it. Instead I purchased a 2021 Land Cruiser Heritage Edition with only 2 miles on it. I pick it up tomorrow.

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!

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

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

$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.

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

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

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!

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

Thanks for the review

Love it !!

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.

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! ❤

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 Happy with my 4Runner, much more functional despite being “outdated”

Can't wait to see the new Toyota Tacoma review

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.

I like your cool Subaru jacket 🙂

Great review! For the ladder portion, I'm wondering why in the end you didn't just back all the way down to the bottom starting position, and attempt to up again with a lot more momentum? Also at 16:00 minute mark where you were blinded, isn't that why sun visors were invented, or does Toyota consider those optional? 😜

definitely the biggest capable offroader out there

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

Thankfully, these stay in Costco parking lots.

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

Airing down would of made a world of difference.

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.

Can’t wait till you do the gx550.

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.

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

Will work for test course time

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?

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.

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

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.

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

Finally, some new info on the new tacoma😂

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.

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

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.

Are all the new SEQUOIAs hybrid?

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

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

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

Ryan, Toyota certainly added off road capability to the TRD Pro Sequoia but I have one question for them . Doesn't Toyota know that WE know all about the locking front differential they offer in overseas 4X4 models? 🤔

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

did you or would you air down?

In Puerto Rico mspr is 125000 😅 ugh

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

This dude needs to buy some sunglasses 😎

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🔥🔥🔥

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.

Am I hearing engine knock at 14:58?

☝️😊 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

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

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

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

Did the vehicle not come with sun shades?

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!!!

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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!

80k is a bit much for a suv but inflation is inflation

Climb in the rear to see if you can sleep in it. Don't throw your back out.😂😂 Why can't Toyota make a 4x4 cargo area that is flat (4runner, Sequoia)? The Highlander is pretty flat, but it isn't a 4x4 or body on frame.😢

what kind of boots do you wear?

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

$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.

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

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 🤣

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

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.

Love everything except the price.

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.

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

The cargo area is just horrible. They need to make the 3rd row optional or removable.

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

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

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

If it was subaru xzr-s one wheel drive. You would let it drive though last obstacle with 40mph , then you will say : subaru 4wd is the best ! 😂🙃🙃

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

sunglasses?

Brand new Lexus GX is 15 grand less.

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?

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

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

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.

does this guy believe in airing down?

I t took me 21:26 to realize I wasted 21:26...

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

You actually can get a flat floor. There’s a shelf system that the truck has where you can place the shelf even with the folded 3rd row seats. The cutouts in the rear walls shows the 3 levels. (Research 😐)

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

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.

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

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