@@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
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
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!
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 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.
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
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!
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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
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
