Dragging mom, dad, wife and little kids into an off-roading adventure is very Griswold-esque, to say nothing of driving his family from San Diego to New England and back once a year. Usually being a dad to very little kids means you don't have time to offroad like you used to, but Doug hasn't come to that realization yet. The burden of parking this beast in small spots, and getting kids in and out of doors that swing outwards will take a toll within a matter of minutes. He will be buying a minivan within several months - mark my words.

You make a lot of sense. I love all my toyota projects. I didn't even look at the sequoia. I love my tundra.

@splkzyy 26 дней назад

sequoia gets comfier when it’s fully loaded. because of how heavy it tows, the suspension is significantly stiffer to take on the the heavy weight. so when it’s under pressure is where it really settles in and becomes comfy. also the TRD PRO has stiffer side walls and off-road tires generally make a car feel slightly stiffer. if you are looking for comfort you should probably try the limited or platinum with no more than 20” wheels. it’s the way to go. also, the trd pros need at least 3000 miles till the suspension gets run in and gives you its max comfort

@Kmursal 24 дня назад

@landongoree442 23 дня назад

While I think the new Sequoia does many things well it lacks things for the price. I am referring to the Capstone trim level. The seats are too stiff, I felt like I was sitting on bleachers. The lack of a folding flat 3rd row is unacceptable when everyone else can do it. The hood is flimsy and flexes when you drive in a decent wind. Very sharp vehicle, I was let down when I actually saw it and drove it over 150 miles.

I just bought a white Tacoma and have owned more Toyotas than anything else over the years and Toyota has never failed me. We traded in our 2008 Highlander with almost 300K miles for the Tacoma because we're at a later change in life. Our son is an adult and our daughter is driving her own car, we really don't need a third row... or even the second much, but we like hauling kayaks and stuff. As life goes, your needs change and I think you made the right choice for this stage in life. When it comes to reliability, Toyota remains the best choice.

The new GX doesn't offer any of its off-road hardware (MTS, crawl, etc) with three-row seating. I needed both three rows AND as much off-road capability as I could get, so the GX was eliminated. Bad product planning decision from Lexus. (After driving the new GX I'm especially confident in my decision -- the third row is tiny and frankly the ride quality isn't much better than the Sequoia's.)

You made a great choice ! I wanted one so bad but ultimately settled on a new Suburban high Country Deluxe last year. We had the similar requirements but we also tow a rv and wanted range while towing and the duramax delivered that on top of that we are a large family of 8 and frankly need the long wheel base. In 2025 we will finally be able to get a z71 with the duramax. Might be a better option for both of us then. Super cruise air ride suspension over 700 miles of range is fantastic

I drove a 23 Tundra for a couple weeks last year and absolutely loved it. That Toyota 14" infotainment was a treat to use, worked very well for me. Loved the torque of the powertrain, especially on the highway. Was clearly much more refined than my 2013 Tundra. I prefer the V8 for regular driving and the space of the last gen Tundra/Sequoia but the newer features were very nice. It's a damn shame they left the roll down rear window off the Sequoia. These SUVs look killer when you add the Wescott Designs leveling kit and some bigger tires/wheels. Toyota rarely wows with standard features and point by point reviews, because they just don't care about them. They're giving you a product that is comparable with it's peers that is going to cost less to own and be reliable. Never the sexiest choice but often the right choice...

In previous videos, I have noted Doug mentioning family and I wondered, "How is this going to change his life/vehicle choices?" I remembered the Subaru Outback review where Doug critiqued it as a "dad car" and thought that his comments came across as dismissive. I'm a dad. I have a kid. Even if I had a lot of money, I would have to choose a vehicle based upon my needs balanced with my wants. One falls in love, one has kids and in-laws, one needs to transport them all. Kid, me, wife and sister-in-law--we go places together. I bought a 2023 Subaru Forester Touring because it ticked all the boxes. I went with the Touring model because my wife complained about it being cold in the back seat with my old Ford Fusion and the Touring model had heated back seats. Why the Forester? Great visibility. Safety features and reliability. I would have preferred to have bought something sportier and faster, but it isn't about me. It's about family, relationships, and a little something for the driver. Congratulations, Doug, your priorities are clear.

Family of 6. We had a sequoia for 6 years. It was a huge tank. Reliable and dependable. So roomy inside. The drivers seat needed to lower as my head was in the ceiling. Hope they fixed that. The storage space in the trunk wasn’t good. If you are going across the country you will need a roof rack or tow hitch box. Sold it for a new Sienna minivan. While it doesn’t off road or tow, it beats the sequoia in every other way. 3 times the gas mileage. 5 times the storage space. Smoother, quieter. Easier to live with with sliding doors and easier to park. Our other vehicle is a model x. Shockingly it is a perfect road trip car for 6. Tons of storage for soft bags. Great tech. Best self driving. Amazing windshield and oh it has 1000hp and goes 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. But no it alas is not an off road vehicle.
