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 left off the very next sentence, literally the very next words, which are "I have a new daily driver coming." That's this car. I specifically mentioned it's coming. In fact, I had already bought it when I recorded that video, which is why I mentioned it. And yet you have 1,000 likes and people criticizing me in the comments for lying to my audience!

[@TimothyMcSwainProductions]

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.

[@God-is-love-god-is]

I love this sequoia. I wanted to get one, but it was too expensive for me, so I got a 2024 honda pilot black edition instead, and the honda pilot is perfect as well.

[@splkzyy]

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

[@ozarkliving7263]

Air suspension of the Capstone trim gives one the best of all worlds.

[@Kmursal]

toyota's trucks do have the same bouncy ride problem

[@landongoree442]

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.

Best thing about Doug getting into off-road SUVs is his reviews will hopefully start pushing even more towards these. I expect one day he’ll go from calling things tough because they are red to explaining the actual specs and design behind them and the R&D that went into making them so robust. Then again, Doug’s the type of guy to sell a product based on its quirks then its quality. 😂

[@ardyarco5221]

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

[@ryannatividad3137]

I'm surprised he didn't consider the Lexus GX. It's essentially a Toyota, three rows, arguably looks better, has a better interior, and not too far off in size to the last gen full-size Land Cruiser Doug just sold. I also suspect it will retain more of its value than a Sequoia over time as well.

[@MacikHU]

yup, the GX or the new Land Cruiser would be better imo, but I guess he did not want to wait for them...

[@DJMotoVlogs]

He mentioned on a previous video he didn't want to wait.

[@dereksfoster99]

Also the Overland off-road trim doesn’t come with the 3rd row.

[@patoman9147]

The GX is much smaller. If you get in them and get into a LC or Sequoia there a real difference

[@DougDeMuro]

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.)

I have the Flaken Wildpeak's on my 4x4 Everest, some of the best atr tyres I've ever used. Reasonably quiet on the road, pretty durable and great grip when things get wet and squirmy.

[@rhopookie]

Falken Wildpeaks are easily my favorite all terrain tires right now. Had a boss put them on our work pickup close to 6 years ago and now they're what i run on my personal vehicles. Nice ride on dry surfaces and great traction on snow and ice, especially for being all seasons and not snow tires

[@fenrirslip]

I like the camo design on the fenders and half the time you hardly ever notice it on the road whenever you see a Sequoia TRD Pro.

[@Sigrafix]

I think the new Sequoia is an awesome car.. and I love the Camo touches on this TRD Pro.. I'd love one if I could afford it.. Lol. Congrats.

[@scottdm9707]

Curious on your elimination of the Tahoe and Expedition due to lack to Blue Cruise/Super Cruise. They both still have adaptive radar cruise control. The Sequoia also only offers adaptive radar cruise control, so maybe I'm missing something...

I saw a black one the other day. The camo wheel arches actually look good on the black color, looks more subtle

[@genobadea2738]

Next step, to add to the ambiance of all that camo, is an auto gun rack and a set of truck nuts. Also Doug growing a mullet to complete the package. 😜

[@mattdaaamon]

Doug makes so much money he could ship the car and fly. Honestly filming a few videos with his free time would pay for it.

My 2002 Toyota Sequoia (Whaley) finally died at 310K miles. Just bought the new Sequoia and you are spot on! Looking forward to the next 300K miles in Whaley II!

[@robmalcolm8042]

Really why it die? Toyotas go a million miles usually. 300,000 a bum Chevy can even go past that.

[@VloneUchiha]

@@robmalcolm8042 My guess is it not getting propper care

[@robmalcolm8042]

@VloneUchiha has to be cause that's nothing. There's crap brands that can go 500,000. Toyota with Hondas have the lowest engine failure rates which is the most important reliability factor.

[@michaeljordan6090]

I put 365 k miles on my 2003 sequoia limited, I loved that vehicle it was great in all conditions

[@exileut]

16:12 The right side gauges show engine oil temperature and transmission oil temperature. Default bottom gauges are engine oil pressure and engine coolant temperature.

[@illinoistiger8694]

I think Doug has a point. The TRD Pro has the hardware that some of us want/need, but it also features styling elements that don’t really work for some guys over a certain age. The TRD Off Road package in the 4Runner has all the TRD Pro hardware that you need but without the Fox shocks or the gaudy styling touches. The TRD OR 4Runner is extremely capable off road but features more subtle styling than the TRD Pro. That is sort of the theme for the previous generation Land Cruiser in some ways. Maybe Toyota should improve the native off road capability of the Sequoia (which is frankly disappointing off road) and offer the TRD OR package on the Capstone. Then there would be a legitimate replacement for the old full sized Land Cruiser for people that didn’t want the Lexus LX.

[@ThahomieOmie]

I've been running Falken Wild Peaks for a while now, and they're great tires!

[@lordcorgi6481]

Buying the Jeep would be worse than the Rivian. Instead of adding days to your cross country trip, the Jeep would and months. It will break down both ways and you’ll be stuck waiting for parts and repairs 😂

[@DougDeMuro]

Ultimately that's why I didn't choose the Jeeps. In many ways I prefer them, but the reliability horror stories are plentiful.

[@imrytebeehyneu]

@@DougDeMuro usually Chrysler bought Jeep from AMC. But hey, this is your choice on a Toyota, let see. Just hope it doesn't end up like the other Toyota you bought before. I mean my sister bought a Scion XB back in 2010 that lasted 10 years until it completely broke down. So, good luck on this and, no offense but I hope you'll leave it in the garage instead on your driveway..👍

[@dtay8913]

I get you're being facetious but that is a gross exaggeration. Months? Come on they aren't breaking down left and right.

[@jameskohler7724]

Doug you and Scotty now agree you both think Toyota's are reliable

[@ShiftedPerspective]

You made the right choice without a question. I think Toyota does the Sequoia right!

[@noskimatidigah]

I knew Doug was going to buy the Sequoia. I just pray he doesn't sell it after 2 years like the defender and also hope he does lots of off-road videos with it. It'd be cool to see him do it like he never did in the defender 110.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

[@Christoph-sd3zi]

[@Peccs91]

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...

[@naeltherenaissanceman7603]

You should’ve considered the Grand Highlander. It’s not as capable at off roading, however you have more room for people inside.

[@Largecow_Moobeast]

They're great vehicles I've been to the factory in San Antonio. A lot of hard working Texans made sure your purchase is high quality.

[@GM-kj6sb]

Love it. I grew up with an ‘03, however the trunk space with the third row up is abysmal. A Grand Highlander or many other mid size SUV’s offer more space. Come on Toyota!
