[@hellkitty1014]

The Tahoe is proof that GM knows how to play in certain segments and dominate. For the life of me, I will never understand the bewildering decision Toyota made in the Sequoia redesign, having had since 2008 to bring its A-game. The interior being smaller than the Grand Highlander(even behind the 3rd row) is really egregious. Sure, the powertrain is robust but with questionable reliability from the 3.4L V6(even 24s are still having issues). On the Sequoia Platinum that I tested, I was shocked by the lack of precision in body control, structure shock when hitting a bump, and poor ride quality(by comparison to the GMs and Wagoneer). Skip the 24s on the GM, and save $5K because it also forces air suspension which explains the elevated price. You'd also pick up even better ride quality. Also skip the rear screens and save another $2K and it comes under the price of the Toyota.

[@G-Rated]

If you know anything about the high end suspension system in the *gm* triplets you’d know the 24-inch wheels aren’t negatively affecting ride quality. Most *gm* customers aren’t the “cheap crowd”, that’s usually where the Japanese scores most of their sells back when they were much cheaper. Chevrolet and GMC customers _want_ the ride quality and experiences of a luxury SUV, the reliability of a Tahoe, without the extra goodies or price of the Escalade.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

​@@G-Rated the original commented never mentioned poor ride quality with the 24s. GMs suspension tuning the last decade has been really solid in most of their cars

[@socaljarhead7670]

Air suspension is unnecessary and hugely expensive to fix when it breaks and they ALL break.

[@G-Rated]

@@socaljarhead7670 true but *gm’s* air suspension is beefy and has been pretty reliable since the launch of this generation of SUVs. GMC has experience with heavy duty air suspension systems like for their Hummer twins and perhaps that’s the reason the airbags are lasting as long in these ICE SUVs without many problems.

[@dtay8913]

Tahoe for sure. More reliable powertrain (surprisingly) with the v8. Better interior, Better technology, actual usable backseats that fold appropriately.

[@dynamicremakes5592]

Hands down it's the Tahoe. And the price will be more closer if you replace those 24's with the standard 22's. 4k difference I think.

[@pt192]

Both are about 30k too expensive (in every trim). This is getting out of hand.

[@lukejeung4615]

Sequoia got a lot to do for their exterior design, imho. Tahoe wins still!

[@arhamkhakwani5851]

I personally don’t think exterior design is the issue. It’s more of the packaging inside that makes the Sequoia less desirable than its competitors.

[@davelindgren5245]

You skipped over the most important thing. The Sequoia 3rd row seats don't fold flat. I have no idea what they are thinking at Toyota. It is not 1996 anymore. How could you even think about offering a 3 row with 3rd row seats that don't fold flat. Spend the money and change your suspension. Besides rental car companies, I have no idea who would buy that vehicle. As far as I am concerned, that is a negative 10 points. Plus, Tahoe offers a diesel. Cruising down the highway getting 27 MPG in a 3 row is pretty awesome.

[@arcsolomon6360]

do you have any idea where they can hide those batteries so it dont reduce the cargo capacity?

[@justinsalazar9070]

The Tahoe is cute for large families. We got the 2024 Sequoia TRD PRO just me the wife and 2 small kids. Anything bigger sure grab a Tahoe or suburban. That being said the power and drive of the sequoia are beast!, it’s something about the system that just makes it a joy ride more so. We are close to 20k and she has been a beast with Zero issues. The gas mileage is not bad but I guess that’s been a complaint and the cargo area has a shelve so it does flatten out just fine, I’ve filled the back with tons of 5 gallon jugs with no issue. Get what suits you, we love our Sequoia TRD.

Toyota the legend🎉🎉

[@JosephPayton-m9g]

This generation of sequoia is very nice, BUT chevy, GMC, Cadillac and Ford are the only brands that can nail this segment perfectly. The toyota is definitely not meant for people who have more than 3 kids. Cargo space with all 3 rows up is practically unusable, the 3rd row itself isn’t suitable for taller kids or teenagers. It’s really meant for people who don’t use the 3rd row often and that’s where Toyota missed the opportunity for this new generation. My aunt has a capstone. It’s only her and my other aunt that use it and they travel often so usually it’s 4 people on 1 trip so the 3rd row is down all the time. It’s good in that regard. Feature wise, these 2 are very similar so it’s not like you’re missing out on good things in both of them. Though it is nice to have tv screens or sunshades in the back seats. I do also agree with you guys with ride quality. The sequoia definitely feels a little rougher over certain bumps, it’s not bad per say but you can definitely feel the intrusion and we took a suburban on an 8 hr road trip to South Carolina and that was more comfortable. However, the Toyota feels more powerful in which it is. Kind of scary to feel a vehicle is that size move that quick 😂. Other than that, the Tahoe has it be in the most major parts of the vehicle. Families buy these types of vehicles for long distance road trips to haul luggage, kids and groceries and that’s where Toyota missed it. That has to be rectified for the next generation.

[@richsarchet9762]

My 2025 Camry remote starts from the fob, and so does yours. No app or subscription required. The subscription lets you use your phone. Push the lock button 3 times, holding for 2 seconds on the thrord push.

[@ponchoman49]

So a Chevy is costing what a Cadillac Escalade did a few years ago. Those 24" wheels are beyond absurd and should be avoided at all costs if you value ride quality, replacement tire costs, road noise and magnets for picking up nails. They should be deducting a point not adding any!

[@stephencooper3583]

To be fair, both of these vehicles start in the $60k range... which is normal for the segment. But yeah, the top trims with all the options can get pretty pricey. $95k for a Tahoe is a bit much in my opinion, but to each their own. If people buy it... why not?

[@googleuser3007]

I never actually thought about this until now. You should modify your point allocation for front seats (seats overall probably). The fact that the Toyota gained 1.5 points on the front driver’s seat alone just seems odd. I would suggest providing .5 point for a better front driver seat or 1 point if the driver and front passenger seats are better than the competition.
