The Toyota Of SUVs | 2021 Toyota Sequoia 

I have a 2010 at 75K miles. Totally agreed with you.

Same here with 2012. You pay for it. And its worth it!

Totally with you Sequoia Brother !!

Alex does indeed like to re-review the exact same vehicle. Good for business, however. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” We're of course the really insane ones buying this snake oil.

@@jaywho476 It’s not Alex. It’s manufacturer PR departments sending the same cars for reviews once a year to remind people that hey you can still get an anemic 13 mpg oxcart in 2021.

@@Ficon Gas mileage penalty vs spending time and money in the shop on repairs. Take your choice.

@@ednorton47 if you drive 8000 miles a year, you are paying an extra $500/year in gas. At the end of warranty, you have built up a $2000 major repair buffer.

@@Ficon That may be true, but your time, trouble, and headaches are worth something. After owning a Honda Accord for the last 5 years, I will never buy a General Motors or Ford car again.

Lexus should put a front end on a tundra and sell a super high end pickup

😂

@@cashkenterprises5584 What could go wrong? Worked well for Lincoln...

^^^post of the day^^^ lol!

Who tf cares? Are you sleeping on the instrument panels and humping the seats?

@@RKO859 I guess you don't mind the chaffing from those hard injector molded plastics!

I'm sure they keep up with the price updating every year

@@isaacashurov365 so a 2021 Sequoia competes with a 2021 Tahoe similarly priced? These autoshow cancelations really have some misinformed.

Well... if Noah were to pick a Ford, humanity might not have survived.

And you would have been very satisfied.

Thanks for avoiding the "Toyota Tax "!

@@pedrofernandez8729 They are extremely inefficient, and the V8 produces so much heat, these will end up burning oil, or leaking, like Sequoia of my father is doing, with 119,000 miles, what a joke.

smart!!!!!!! best family car!

Impossible to justify if you ask me. Toyota should be embarrassed selling ancient models like this. It's not like they aren't one of the largest and most profitable brands in the world, so they can definitely afford to keep their products up to date...they just choose not to.

i really like the athletic look of the 1st gen sequoias lol

@@dlg5485 if this gets redesigned on the TNGA platform only to find out that it shrinks inside cargo and passenger volume wise vs the old gen

@@naveenthemachine Any redesign obviously won't go in that direction. Toyota isn't stupid, they know from their own market research exactly what buyers want in a vehicle like this... comfort and roominess, modern tech, decent fuel efficiency, and the 'appearance' of off-road capability. Only .01 percent of owners will ever take this vehicle off the pavement, but they all want it to look like they will.

What a time.

LOL 😂👍

This model has been here since 2008 He meant the first gen model was on 2000

Lol, it has been a minutes.

Agreed. But they are more efficient though. I wonder how the math will work out

Did you know that GMC Hummer EV is coming with 700-1,000 horsepower before Toyota redesigns every truck/SUV with gas engines again?

99% morons are here dont even have a car or family to fit in car.

Maybe it’s a fetish?

Perfect doomsday vehicle. Not far away with Blue wave in power 🤯

@@luism8612 No maybe it just want it run over everything

@@James-il3tq I think you are right

Fiat Chrysler??? only brain dead morons would buy or compare those too

Please add 8 speed transmission and some basic safety features (especially dynamic cruise control) then we're good 😀

Sad but true

And people pay more for it because they think reliability is everything, without realizing that they pay thousands extra in horrendous fuel economy for years before a different manufacturers's warranty even ends.

@@jamesinsteamboat but they won’t pay horrendous thousands of dollars for years in repairs

And they still sell!!!

Can’t say the same for gm w their complex dynamic cylinder skipping or ford products w their ecoboost and their over complicated 10 speed

Sure, GM may outsell everyone, but there's a good reason for that. You're expected to buy another one as soon as the loan or lease is up. Toyota may not be a best seller, but it doesn't have to be. If you take care of it you can easily hand this vehicle down to your 16-year old kid... That you're a good 5 years away from even having that child.

yeah i think he made a mistake. Sequoia is all the time AWD, not part time, otherwise center lock differential button he showed would be unnecessary. The ground clearance seemed to be increased for 2021 to 12.6 at least according to the canadian website www.toyota.ca/toyota/en/vehicles/sequoia/models-specifications

It's better than 4A. 4A uses a clutch that always opens and closes, this has a torsen diff which is much better.

I know why you said that

@Andrew Roman nice bro thank you. I hope the refresh isn’t super hot🥰

i think he made a mistake. The only thing, Sequoia does not have a viscous coupling but a Torsen center differential and is all the time AWD, not part time, otherwise center differential lock button he showed would be unnecessary. The ground clearance seemed to be increased for 2021 to 12.6 at least according to the canadian toyota website.

You are right about the torsen center diff with locking feature, but i think the Sequoia is part time 4wd (the Toyota multimode system). You have option of RWD, AWD( center unlocked), 4hi/4lo (center locked)

Not viscous coupling but a mechanical torsen differential. Subaru does the viscous couplings.

@@lookasism That would make it the best 4WD system out there!

Attemps to increase fuel economy usually destroy reliability. Toyota has critical turbo issues on the new Tundra and it will take a while until it's solved.

Multiple by another 5

The roll down glass is gone now.

​@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 I'm in the market for a 2021 or 2022 Sequoia ... also the new ones don't have all their seats folded down flat, another bad thing with the new ones. Looking for a Platinum variant Black on Black 2021 or 2022 with less than 5K miles. There is one on the market right now but the interior is the beige color which I don't want. Lol

@@fightsandfinance7570 yes the new ones have really bad cargo practicality, wow black on black with beige interior is weird

@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 Well the one on the market.. it's black outside and the interior is beige... I picked up a 2022 Camry used SE 3 weeks ago because my 2014 Corolla's engine got fried since I crashed it and never fixed the front and turned out thr radiator wasn't working the whole time and fried the head gasket over time and I'm a DoorDash driver so ... I had to get another car but intend to fix the 2014 Corolla fully.. Ill swap this camry for a Sequoia while it's still available to get a 2021 or 2022 fresh which is what I intend to do at least. Payments are high tho. The sequoia will put my payments at over 1K .. I want a fresh one if I'm getting one. I can get one with some miles on it a bit of earlier years for like 40K but I want a fresh one. That black one with the beige interior is 70K .. 2K miles on it though,.which I think is worth it btw. What u think?

@@fightsandfinance7570 Did you end up getting it? I'm in the market for a 2021/2022 Sequioa now..

What are your payments?

it is free country not USSR. people free to buy anything they want i hope you are not other sjw from california who believes in climate change! btw buddy, where is electricity come from for your tesla?i know. gas and coal burning stations!

Refresh? Toyota doesn't understand.

@@MyAlexWest lol you comment was not needed. Even for the large suv class 12mpg is bad. Plus not once did he tell anyone how, what, and when to buy anything. He mention the Mileage per gallon. How in the world did you end up insulting California, Tesla, and anyone who believes science is mind hurting. Just be honest you have been waiting to mention your comment?!?! Lol

@@julius6238 #anyone who believes science science? how old are you, sunny boy? I remember vividly article in NY times in 70s saying / NEW ICE AGE IS COMING. / and believe me, those cars in 70x were real gas hogging monsters!

That was a typo. It should havs said 2019 Yukon, the old one was 204"

Indeed the new gen does standard on all models

I know why you said that

What if those gimmicks break? Is anyone really going to look at the Fuel savings and say “with the improved fuel savings I can afford to pay to have this gimmick fixed”

I own a newer Lexus and yes, car reliability doesn't matter much anymore. In 10 years, cars will be much more advanced and with the Dems in power, ICEs will be legislated away. Cars like mine will be obsolete dinosaurs. Why would you care about 15 year reliability when they'll inconvenience ICEs as much as possible. High carbon taxes on gas, banned from cities, etc.

@@Anonymous-ld8ox I completely agree, but at the end of the day everything has to trickle down through bureaucracy. In the US, Biden wants to put in 550,000 EV chargers across the country (the equivalent to 5 EV plugs per currently existing gas station, number wise) That takes time to build, and it takes even longer to get through state, local...etc. Same with crackdown regulations, which I imagine will increasingly vary by state...All to say don't count out reliability just yet (and congrats on the Lexus, I had a '16 IS and loved it)

@@Anonymous-ld8ox Republicans will take back senate in 2 years and house in 4. Then likely undo half of bidens 1000 Presidential orders.

They just sell the land cruiser in those markets.

The Disco is a mid-size according to most segment metrics. It's narrower and shorter by a reasonable amount. It's also a luxury segment vehicle so not really cross shopped.

Once every 25 years is not so bad 🙄

Oh boy, a twin turbo... that is a reliability nightmare just waiting to happen. Better get your indestructible V8s while they're still around I guess.

Thought my headphones were failing.

not just you

That was quite annoying

Yikes. I didn't catch that in the edit.

Not quite. Although bigger than the Highlander they are still considered a mid-size crossover by Kia and Hyundai.

@@AAutoBuyersGuide what happened to using the gallons of milk as a measurement for the center console volume?! Always loved that description.

it is car, not home office! this car is for traveling outside, SEE THE NATURE!! what do you need bigger for? you are going watch movies inside car?

@@MyAlexWest it’s a $60,000 full size suv.....why would it not have a larger screen then there cheapest compact models. This is a outdated dinosaur of an suv and although I can appreciate Toyota’s reliability the interior is crude and lackluster.

@Anna Carson step away from mirror , and made me a sandwich!

@@jacobpritchard4847 cheapest compact models. ----- buddy! are you in business?, do you know how business works? appears not! here is the hint! ----- Tooyta builds 'K' generation of car, then after 5*7 years THEY ASK OWNERS WHAT do you want more? see????? nobody in right mind need big/huge screen in family car for long traveling. esp taking into account that everyone from 5+ years old has smart phones in 2020! ------ anyway. bigger screen means bigger cost of production, means less profit per car!! buddy . , it is business 101!

@@jacobpritchard4847 the interior is crude and lackluster. ------ your opinion means a jack! Toyota has opinions of millions Toyota buyers. if owners wanted Spanish leather w/ gold inserts, Toyota would do that! ----- Doug Demuro recently made a video who and why buys Toyota Land Cruiser and why it was an error to cancel one.! watch it!! he was right 101%

If you’re spending that kind of money I really doubt fuel economy is of high importance...

If everyone goes electric, there will be more gas for me.

This is a part-time 4WD system, so you have to engage the center coupling to send power to the front. It is a pretty typical 4WD T case and it is common to refer to all transfer cases and AWD PTUs as "center couplings"

@@AAutoBuyersGuide but you already describe the control for two wheel high and four wheel high. That would be the transfer case control. Why would there be a separate control? As for the use of the term center coupling; it's self-explanatory but I've never heard anybody say it

i think Alex made a mistake. Sequoia has a Torsen center differential and is AWD, not part time, otherwise center differential lock button he showed would be unnecessary. The 4H setting can be used on highway, unlike 4runner's 4H. The ground clearance seemed to be increased for 2021 to 12.6 inch at least according to the canadian toyota website.

@@dimdim3490 yes. He seems to enjoy making mistakes. On a previous mention of this truck he stated it had a solid rear axle. Which of course it does not
