Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! Sequoia or Tahoe?

@voxel999 Ай бұрын

Fuel economy on my 23 TRD Pro in perfect late winter FL weather was 17mpg. This review matches my experience. I have no clue who this vehicle is targeted at and I seriously doubt resale will be good because the QC is just awful. Volume knobs falling out, rattles, etc.

2025 Lexus GX550 is superior to this for similar money. You just don't get a third row seating but towing is about the same and it's a legit off-road with full-time 4WD.

Sequoia is a much larger vehicle with longer wheelbase and way better for towing

No heated/ventilated 2nd row seats on a +80k vehicle is crazy. Too many compromises on cargo space as well. I'd go for a top trim Grand Highlander or Lux. trim TX/GX over this any day.

agree

@normanli7085 4 ай бұрын

Technically u want headroom in the 2nd row, u can get an inch more with the standard size sunroof although u might scrape your hair. Also, less ground clearance to the predecessor and no tow hooks is a huge oversight

It's odd to say, but my 20+ year old 1st gen Sequoia seems superior to this new rig. Real V8 sounds, same fuel economy, bulletproof reliability (mine has already gone 360k miles), better seat/cargo gymnastics, better outward visibility, 1000 lbs lighter, parking lot-friendly dimensions, and dog favorite-roll down rear window. Had mine for 7 years now. 1/10th the $.

plus ... one of the few with a solid rear axel , like the grille and shorter wheel base over the tundra ..things I dont like that ,you have to have 2nd row capts chairs , you must have a sunroof, 22:00 fold down 2nd row and 3rd row big holes no space to car camp is why I would want one , not buy a 3 row luxury family school bus , price $83k + mark up ,for the money one can save $15,000 and buy the GX550 over trail and have a better rig and wait a few yrs to get one I have never seen a new sequoia TRD PRO in the desert or in camp grounds

Here's another Pro. Resale value are very high. They still go for over MSRP new and used which is crazy.

@voxel999 Ай бұрын

Was. In 2023, dealers were marking up $20K but now nothing. I argue Toyota has some turds have that terrible resale… their hydrogen fuel cell cars basically depreciate 60% the second you drive off the lot. Their EVs too.

@butch8792 4 ай бұрын

The entire back of the Sequoia is compromised because of the batteries., which I get. If they would have just eliminated the full size spare and just give you one. That if need arises you put on the top of the vehicle and take it with you. They could have put the batteries where the spare was and had a competitive back end of the vehicle. I've went 5 years without getting a flat. It's just an overblown concern and a functional backend would be 10x more practical on a daily basis.

@djtrepound2407 4 ай бұрын

Or mount the spare on the back door like a Jeep or even better option offer it without a 3rd row. Not too many ppl are going off road with people in the third row. it’s better used for gear.

I want to love the Sequoia because it looks so good, but the lack of cargo space, the twin turbo, and the hybrid system are all turnoffs.

I ordered a TRD Pro, and while waiting, I finally got to test drive one. I nearly cancelled my order, and will if that god awful fake engine exhaust noise is not fixed. I see some here on youtube, suggesting there is a way to shut it off. Can you guys confirm this info???? My truck is to arrive any day now.

The lack of awareness is stunning in this country. They can’t sell V8s, there are government rules that is making that increasingly difficult for automakers. We no longer decide what we want to buy, the government decides what we will buy now. The number of people I see blaming the automakers for this is fascinating.

@Nosaj-dt1ij 4 ай бұрын

You’re right. The ATW3’s on TRD Pro are not what you get off market - and they SUCK. At 15k I have 5mm of tread left and they are wearing on outer edges as though out of alignment. Toyota says “talk to Falcon, we don’t do tires”. Falcon says “Talk to Toyota, the alignment spec is off and the tires are fine”. 22 TRD Pro. Although it’s clearly too expensive, you can’t compare the pricing with other brands. The Big3 all lose half their value as soon as you buy them and none have the allure of TRD Pro. My MPG doesn’t exceed 15 in the city and 19 HWY.

The 3rd row can come out. After living with my 24 TRD Pro for 3 months and 6k miles I like it. a lot. The cargo area has been a non-issue after two long trips with the four of us. I came from a 22 AT4 Yukon XL and the wife has a 2018 Land Cruiser. My pros are that it is fast, comfortable, and sticks to wet, ice, and snow conditions in 2H due to the weight., and comfortable to drive. I have not experienced the throttle lag you did. Put it in Sport mode and it is a rocket. THe TRD roof rack is LOUD. I have only woed my boat once so far with it, and it was a mixed bag. All the back-up and safety sensors made backing up the boat trailer a PITA. I did not have time to read the owners manual and learn how to turn everything off. I have a down payment on a new GX 550, but think I am going to keep this Sequoia. Might put a 2" lift on it.
