Canucks & Trucks: What is the 2018 Toyota Sequoia Best At? Will It All Fit? 

Check out the 2018 Toyota Sequoia on the Ike Gauntlet(TM) - World's Toughest Towing Test: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yiB03KCumbI.html

10 year old design, 30 year lifespan! 👍🏻

As a drummer myself: THIS is the type of shit that needs to be more intwined into vehicle reviews. Load in height, room, extras for smaller items, the ability to utilize ALL the space provided. Bravo TFL Truck, this guy is providing USABLE information for us folks that perform a hobby needing everything he’s talking about. He’s going all out and THAT is NOT going unnoticed. Also, nice hockey bag bud....they’re too versatile. Haha

Sequoia is a true SUV!!! Sequoia is the best SUV money can buy, because it's the most reliable and people will never have an issue with turbos because there's none, and people will never have carbon build up because it doesn't have direct injection like competitors. It's not rice burner with turbo. It's not a Prius with Auto start/stop. It's not a iPhone on wheels that needs to reset by the dealer every 6 months and replaced every couple years because of the issues. It's reliable SUV that can go 500k miles without touching engine or transmission. Also, it's simple, reliable, comfortable and holds it's value better than any other SUV. Great on gas for its size. I have one and love it.

Nice video. Sequoia's have alwys been great rigs. I still have an '06 Old style and it just keeps going!

I'm so glad you joined tfl. Welcome aboard. Also you should do the new theme song. "Slapping da base"

Great review and video! Looking forward to your second video!

Fun review and great rift! 😀 The sequoia is a bit long in the tooth but I think it’s still a great vehicle. If not for my love of the LC I’d want this in the platinum trim as my 4Runner replacement. MPG is not really a concern...it is what it is.

I love the Musician's Test! Now this is real world testing!

Your a great addition to TFL's staff. Maybe because you and I look alike, or because I am also a drummer and love vehicles...but I enjoy your reviews and commentary the best. Keep on Rockin' and show us the good and the bad of the auto's!

I did not realize the Sequoia had that much Cargo room. Good Review

Excellent review!

The video: Great, and professional to boot! The presentation: Connecting and entertaining! The Riff at the end: Priceless! All in all, great job, my friend! I am impressed! And your stacking skills aren't all bad, either! 😎

It’s a great idea to have Canadian perspective of this channel. The information and specification of the data magazines are presented in a somewhat TFL way. Kudos for this new perspective idea. Hopefully future videos will be in not so amateurish matters. Stick with TFL (measuring, evaluating, etc) methodology. Keep the channel alive...

Oh man! Loved the musician test! Do more of these! Great new theme!

Nice review!

You jam sir lol great video. 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

My parents got the 2019 sequoia trd sport midnight black metallic and I LOVE IT!!

Mobile sleeping room in the back Looks perfect for camping and the best of all it SUV’s is very reliable and hold their value

Good review sir. I believe u were meant to do this your personality fits what u do 100% im looking forward to more off road vehicle reviews like utvs. And thanks u do a great job

Yes this is why we purchased a 2018 Sequoia. Proven reliability, strength and safety, and room. I know the MPG sucks, but didn't want the complexity/cost of repairs of auto start/stop, turbos, and displacement on demand nonsense that other brands use.

What an awesome review on this vehicle. You are definitely at the top of your game. I am about to get one myself.

Nice riff at the end!! Great review on loading up the Big SUV 😎

Nice review. We have a 2016 platinum and with two car seats in captain chairs in middle row, we can still fit 4 large suitcases, two strollers, pack and play, coolers, and more kids stuff for road trip easily. Third row seating is amazing even for adults. Compare to a Tahoe where you need to be in fetal position just to sit back there.

No lie, I used to bring my drum kit on test drives to make sure it'd fit. I've since scaled back to a three-piece and I've been able to fit it in just about everything since. I even drove a Fiat 500 for a few years and could fit everything in with just the back seats folded. Great test!

Dang good job Stephen. You play really well

Love the video showing how practical or unpractical the space inside the car is, Thank you!!!

I’m a DJ… I Own a SEQUOIA 2012… It’s PERFECT… from small to Big GIGS… it’s SPACIOUS AF 🖤

Nice Informative Video

Musician test is legit AF! Best cargo test ever! Maybe add a powered PA speaker for more complete set.

This was a killer video! I love to efficiently fit things like this too. Way to Tetris that Sequoia!!!

Great review, I know the platform is old but it’s the reason why I bought a 2015. Coming from a ‘07 Expedition, the Sequoia is the best bargain on the market in terms of reliability and resale value. All that tech in newer comparable models come at a cost, and I for one would rather use Waze than any built in nav. Three things about your review I’d like to mention. 1) You do not have to manually flip the headrests down in the third row, as the power fold will automatically flip them at 50%. 2) The Platinum trim level has the modulated air suspension which the rear end can be lowered 1.2inches below normal ride height. 3) The rear hatch has a soft close feature. Lower the hatch to almost closed position and it will electronically pull it closed. No need to slam it shut!

08 called and they want their.. OH MY GOD I LOVE THE SEQUIA!

Great video. I enjoy these practical tests. You should record some of your base/guitar/drum playing and use it in the videos.

You told me all I could want know .Nice video Bro follow success

That Toyota is nice! I'm glad you did that musician's test because I'm a drummer as well. I wouldn't mind jamming with a dude playing bass like that!

I like this me format,

I don't know how I missed this one, but the musicians test is EXACTLY what I need to see!

Thorough review, man. Truck was loaded with gear when you measured the load height though...sag effect might play a role

Wooooo!!! Jammin' out!!! I know the struggle for a different reason, I play sousaphone!!! Need me one of them Sequoias!

You know it's actually very funny that you made the new TFL logo with "made in Canada"! My 2013 GMC Terrain that I bought here in America (where I am) was made in Canada!

Awesome bassist

Great video, good points. That end bass riff should be an intro to your videos.

The great thing about its age is that we know it is reliable. Toyota isn't hitting this mark as well as they used to and it's nice to know this is one of the few "new" rigs out there you can get that you will have 20 years down the road minor to no issues.

Steven I also have a Pearl kit, nice! I have a set of soft cases for my drums, cymbals and hardware. I got my Galaxy cases from SteveWeisMusic.com, focused specifically on Percussion, and the cases are great! They have thick padding while being flexible for your loading situation. For me I have a 2017 Tacoma TRD Off Road with the short bed and it works great for loading my kit. Great to see you express your other interests and being able to incorporate the vehicles you review. It’s awesome! I’d love to see more of these Musician’s reviews on the vehicles you review. Thanks! Also I’d love to hear more sick bass licks and drum beats like you included at the end

Victor Wooten and his Sequoia! Nice riff at the end!

For the love of all things drums, please get drum and cymbal cases. Even the basic soft cases. Please! Also Great review! TFL’s practical testing is the best.

Way to slap that bass, my friend!

Kick ass on the bass man.

I drive a 2001... and it is solid. Only SUV I will ever purchase.

We have a 2008 Sequoia and a 2018 Armada.... If we could do it all over again, We would have bought another Sequoia. We only wish the platinum would have come as an 8 passenger. I did not know that the volume in it was only a bit different than the Ford EXPEDITION MAX. I just hope that they do a redesign soon. Great Video.

"Cubic feet of space"??? I'm offended as a Canadian. Sorry for going off the handle like that.

Awesome… I’m a deejay and i am really considering the sequoia or armada

Hell ya nice bass picking

My mom had a 06 sold at 100k miles the other month. I own a 03 navigator currently at 100k miles. The navigator wasn't new when I bought it my mom's was new. She hadn't had littleraly one issue with it. I've had little problems with my Navigator here and there but at the end if the day I'll take the navigator all day

My main insterment is trombone ,but I remember loading the trailer of my high school band with perception equipment and other stuff being in the loading crew. Then there was loading insterments in the busses. I change if school bus in town or charder buss to go out of town. In school buses big wind insterments and some percussion would be loaded by opening the back door. Charder busses we put big insterments (like brass , bass version of woodwind , and marching percussion , and other equipment not in the trailer under the busses. Smaller insterments like Bglat clarnets and flutes for example would be under the seat or over head of the person. Also in the trailer keyboard percussion insterments would be covered but vary on distance on everything big . Like the chiams and timpaines would get the soft cover out of town but in town may just have the breaks and bungy cords. Out of state the tampains when in to their cases. The trailer would have infront the taimpains; the big bass drum; chiams; the gong; under selfs the keyboard insterments like the marimbia, xylophone, vibraphone and bells, if marching session drum major stands; shrlls have all kinds of axulery perception ; percussion stands; wind cymes; cymbles in a bag; sometimes color guard equipment; and alot of stuff we needed that could fit. Accoress when it was not marching we had more room for stuff. Even performing on stage requier many things.

Nice test Mr. Phil Anselmo

awesome bass tone! what amp?

Didnt know you are part of TFL team.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Love what Toyota does with their trucks and SUVs

Sequoia is my most favorite SUV of all time. I don't care if there are better ones like the ford expedition or chevy toheo. I'll take the Sequoia any day. Even if people persuade me to try the ford or chevy, I will not drive them. Even if I crash my Sequoia, I'll buy another one. These Sequoias can last up to 500k miles. I'm serious. So really Sequoia is my #1 SUV and it's a BEAST!

As a musician i think this is a really cool idea, great to see the space being used for something practical. Maybe next time adjust the mic on your shirt bc your heavy breathing is very loud.

Best at burning gas? I mean, Toyota needs to develop a new drivetrain that can be more efficient. Really dug the little bass riff at the end, nice surprise.

Stephen, living near Toronto, are you a Rush fan? If so, you'll get along with Nathan!

Nice test! I'm a bassist (and lead singer), myself. I've been playing with amps nearly as tall as me for the past few decades. I know all too well what it's like to cram a bunch of gear into a truck, van or car. It's like playing Tetris. I once had to fit a nearly 5 foot tall Ampeg cabinet in a 1988 Ford Festiva. That was.......fun....

Toronto at Rush Hour. Brave man.

i wish manufacturers would keep body styles longer . props to toyota for keeping this thing for 10 years i bet its super reliable with just about every bug worked out as possible. who made the longest running body style vehicles? I think its chevy square bodies , from 1973 to 1991. basically the same truck with small updates every several years by the time 1991 came around not many parts would cross over except major components and body panels.

How about the interior space,second,third row seat legroom and more?

Your grade for effort A+

didn't know he was a musician too! Perhaps some new music on the channel? lol

I love the Sequoia but I just can't afford one. They've become too premium up near the Land Cruiser range. I can't wait for the next video on fuel economy.

has part 2 been posted yet?

Plus you can roll the rear window down using the keyhole in the rear!

Great video.... lots of room Changes up the old joke “musician ... a guy that puts $5,000 of gear into a $500 car to make $50 a gig”

Toyota definitely needs to upgrade ALL of their powertrains for better fuel economy. But NICE BASS RIFF BRO!

Is the Sequoia based on the Tundra platform?

The limited is very nice but I wish it was updated a little bit more

Don't forget that 2nd row slides forward too

The cargo capacity of all vehicles should be calculated this way! You want more space then get the Neil Peart edition. Or perhaps the compact Slim Jim Phantom is more your style.

Do your shocks a favor. If your going to tow or haul. Purchase some air shock absorbers that go into the springs.

Id also like to see the 4runner, land cruiser, and expedition do this test.

TFL makes its way to Canada????

You could just have a band with all Casio DG20's and fit in a yaris.... I'll look forward to that review lol

You probably didn't know, but the head rests will automatically fold down for you when holding down the 3rd row button.

Still waiting for the long wheelbase sequioa

Now he knows how to spank the plank

Hey!?? When did you join tfl ??

Isn't it "required" for musicians that at least one passenger has to be holding stuff on their lap? :D Hey, you can play the music for Andre's lullabys! :)

Sequoia, 4 runner and Tacoma all need full update especially the engine choices. Not so much on the Tacoma but all motor choices need a revision.

Great job!

3rd time is the charm!

Different truck in the thumbnail. Good review nonetheless.

Resale values of Toyota trucks and SUVs pretty much says it all.

Слов не понял, экспедишин 5 человек, и куча объемного багажа всё вмещается машина конечно супер, для путешествия семьей дом на колесах вебасто надо думать стоит.

@0:48 Toyota do better than the competition is the reliability and that's the crucial factor of my choice beside all the other perks of competitors do.

Stores some of his in a hockey bag. Doesn’t get much more Canadian than that.

I would really like Toyota to update the Sequoia. Desperately needs an upgraded infotainment system, better fuel efficiency as it's lowest in its segment, and a design refresh. Please Toyota update this so that you can compete in the large SUV segment.

Bluestraveler's lead?
