Is the 2020 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro the KING of Off Road SUVs?

[@otiswinters3674]

I checked out the new 3rd generation 2023 Sequoia and it too has several zonks! Like only 88 cf of cargo space, compared to 128 cf in the 2nd generation Sequoia. Another zonk is the 2nd and 3rd row seats don't lay down flat due to the hybrid electric motors. These two zonks are deal killers for me. Looks like the 2nd generation Sequoia is the one to buy! Thanks Joe and doing this review! You deserve an extra Twinkie today!

[@smattt]

Agreed. I waited for the 2023 and once I saw the "zonks" I knew I shouldn't have waited and should've bought the 2nd gen a while ago.

[@v8l639]

@Psalm 91 why 08 sequoia is extremely reliable？

[@ltigno]

Only thing that broke down form me was the starter. I did it myself and it’s a pain in my ass. Other than that everything is reliable. Compared to other vehicles in this category you would probably have already replaced a transmission or something expensive to repair.

@@ltigno how many miles the starter has down？are there any condition before it can not work？

[@ltigno]

gang zhao 80k miles for me. I didn’t put that many miles on it. Probably just the age of the car that’s why the starter went bad. It just won’t start one morning when i tried to start it. No click/no sound when i turn the ignition key.

[@rahulrane1658]

If I am trading my 2nd get Pilot for anything, it most likely would be this one. A few features of this: 1) Houses an entire football field inside 2) Very rugged construction so you can expect a long life 3) Actually good offroad. 4) Despite its size, it actually pulls quite well during acceleration and highway ramp merges. One thing to note is depending on terrain and load, it may sometimes gear hunt, but not as much as the 4Runner. This I believe is a typical Toyota tranny feature, as I see it in my RAV4 and other products I have driven.
