Is The 2023 Toyota Sequoia The New Top Dog SUV? I Compare It To The Chevy Tahoe & Ford Expedition!

[@aarons307]

Lets face it, most buyers only use the 1st and 2nd rows of seats and need all the rear storage available. Those 3rd row seats need to be able to lay flat to loading floor height or be totally removed for optimal storage behind the 2nd row. This is a big miss on Toyota's part. Powertrain appears to be awesome. But lack of larger storage behind the 2nd row is its downfall.

[@Seriously140]

I agree with you. I think manufacturers are weirdly obsessed with the 3rd row. Get rid of the 3rd row seats.

[@enthalpyyan]

I need that third row and sequoia seems to be the worst among these three.. the storage looks weird and it doesn’t provide enough seating area as well.

[@garymcgowan4057]

The new sequoia is great, but they failed on the 3rd row seat and the rear cargo. Keeping that solid rear axle and the battery pack ruined that space and it's just not enough for a family. The videos so far show how little head space is in the 3rd row. And We don't know yet, but the rear cargo looks smaller than the 2nd gen sequoia. The shelf itself is almost an admission there is not much room. They catered to the Land Cruiser side too much, it should just be a different trim or model. I have owned the each generation sequoia , but I might look at a Tahoe for next time because of the rear cargo space.

[@fritty9927]

I’m wondering which one of these will have best resale value. They seem to fit in the same category as a Land Cruiser and they really hold their value.

How does the 4WD work? Is it like a LC where you can drive around in 4WD, power shifting to the wheel with most grip? I.e. AWD? I have a LC. Like the way it handles. Had a 1st Gen tundra. 4WD was just for mud/snow, which doesn’t help much for daily driving.

[@MrJcjet]

It's part time 4x4. No AWD. I think the issue is torque. The AWD transfer case may not be able to handle 600ft lbs. I'm not sure there are any true AWD two speed transfer cases that can handle that much torque.

[@JR-mc1rn]

If I understand correctly, all Sequoia trims come with the safety suite including adaptive cruise control (ACC). For me, ACC is a must. It is maddening that GM requires one to purchase upper level trims to get ACC, even Cadillac. Ford plays games with ACC as an option as well. That is a big selling point for Toyota if I am correct.

[@mattlimberg5763]

I showed pictures to my wife last night of the Sequoia and a Tahoe for perspective just to see her thoughts, she likes the exterior of both, so do I, when she saw the cargo area, she said no, I explained the shelf to her and she was better with it, but then saw the Tahoe's cargo area and said I think that's way better and by the time we'd be looking to buy, in maybe 5-8 years when we have kids to get one of these and keep for 15-20 years, I think we'll need the extra space.

[@joshtavenner3073]

Yea my wife has a Highlander and we’ve had lots of other Toyotas and I’d like to keep her in one. We do like the Tahoe and Yukon and she does like this too after I showed it to her. The Tahoe and Yukon just has so much more useable space. After seeing the sequoia with the seats pushed up the 6” and the shelf thing even with that it’s not AS bad as it originally looked and not sure if it will be a dealbreaker. Will have to see one in person.

[@proreview3153]

Very good point

[@mattlimberg5763]

I will say my parents had an 05 and it was great for us, plenty of space everywhere, and because the third row could come out, we hardly ever did or only removed one half. We were able to just barely fit a big glass outdoor table in the back with all seat in it, just folded with enough space for two chair stack on their sides behind the third row. So it was usable, if the new one had the ability to have the third row completely removed when needed and easily, there wouldn't be any complaints here.

As currently we have a 2014 Sequoia. I am disappointed in the new one. 1 no sliding second row. The sliding second row in ours is wonderful. We are able to slide it with car seats install and our little ones are able to climb in the 3rd row. 2 no power down rear window . That is a helpful feature at times. These are some of the key feature that set the sequoia apart from the others. Looks like Toyota went back instead of forward with some these features. 3 no multi mode 4wd. This system was great on changing road conditions in the winter months. Not sure why they took it away with new one. 3rd row looks smaller too. Otherwise the rest they did a nice job. Just feel that some of the important features they took away. The current one you can fit adults in the 3rd row. Yes we currently have 5 kids and one due any day. We currently have 4 forward facing car seats plus one high back booster and now and now an infant carrier. All are Graco and all fit. High back and one forward facing is in the 3rd row and our 9 yr fits in between them. I can post pics if anyone wants to see. I feel the new maybe smaller. Ours is a 2014 limite

[@rightlanehog3151]

Andre, A few days ago I was thinking of the new Sequoia as the Corn-Fed American Land Cruiser® but I have reconsidered. It now seems more like the Tundra of SUVs because it uses a completely different 4WD system. Being different does NOT make it worse, it actually leaves the door open for the return of the Real Land Cruiser™ with its permanent AWD and locking rear, center and front differentials. 😉 BTW when I wrote this I had not yet heard Toyota Chief Engineer Mike Sweers call it "the Tundra of SUVs" in the TFLtalk interview.

[@mybro727]

Unfortunately for Toyota, the Sequoia is _not_ the Tundra pickup. They are two entirely separate models that compete in separate segments and they’re _supposed_ to serve different purposes with entirely separate priorities in mind. Calling the Toyota Sienna the “Supra of minivans” doesn’t necessarily justify a minivan with no sliding second row, and horrible third row passenger and cargo space.

[@rightlanehog3151]

@@mybro727 They were selling about 8,000 Sequoias per year. It has now been reported from a couple of sources that Mike Sweers had to personally convince Toyota to invest in a new Sequoia. Time will tell if the public is willing to tolerate the compromises baked into the new one. Speaking of compromises, the non-removable second row seats and Hybrid-only powertrain did not stop the Sienna from becoming the top selling minivan in 2021. We don't usually get to measure our next vehicle choice against perfect competitors. We are totally within our rights to push automakers for better products but some degree of compromise is always part of the buying decision.

[@mybro727]

@@rightlanehog3151 The 2021 Toyota Sienna has a multi-link rear suspension for *improved handling and ride quality.* The Sienna’s second row folds flat and also reclines up to 25-inches back, believe it or not. The Sienna also boasts nearly 35 cubic feet of space *behind* it’s third row and 75 cubic ft. of cargo space with just the third row folded away. Needless to say 2nd & 3rd row practicality is highly favored upon North American consumers with larger families and if you were looking for a new minivan you might consider the Sienna _too._ Not exactly apples to apples or the same story here with the even larger and much more expensive Toyota Sequoia. It’s mechanically *identical* to a pickup truck designed to carry cargo in a bed. So ride quality is highly questionable since nothing was done in the rear to accommodate passengers of 7 or 8 _and_ their cargo.

The Sequoia on paper competes with the Tahoe and Expedition. In reality I don't think the 1st and 2nd owners of 3rd gen Sequoias will cross shop the other offerings. The Ford and Chevy will be great people movers with great utility. I think the Ford and Chevy will have better usable space because of the rear IS. Most 3rd row SUV buyers will notice and shy away from the Sequoia. The Sequoia will attract overland and offroad savy types with money to spend, and maybe those looking to buy a 2 year old LC for daily use and light to moderate wheeling. Ultimately, I think this will really shine in the used car market. The list of 3rd row straight rear axle offroaders is pretty short. Let's be honest - most 1st owners are not really wheeling their SUV.

With the battery pack hidden under the third row seat that can slide up to 6”, I am very surprised that the second row seat or captains chairs are fixed. The one feature that I use very frequently on my 2008 Sequoia is the sliding second row captains chairs. The combination of both second and third row adjustability would have given it a superior flexibility option. I find this to be one shortcoming of the Sequoia. I also wonder if the Sequoia (in the lower trim than the Capstone) will suffer in ride, handling, and cabin comfort given its solid rear axle vs. its primary leading competitors and their independent rear wheel suspension. With GM constantly cancelling feature availability, I used that as an excuse to cancel my recent order on a 2022 Tahoe Z71 and will sit back and decide between the refreshed Expedition or this new Sequoia.

No, it's not, blame the switch back to a live rear axle, seriously, compromising the 3rd-row legroom height and cargo area, that and the fact that the new-gen Tundra is heavier than both the Silverado or F150, must likely means the new-gen Sequoia will also be heavier, there's a reason for the big increase in sales for the GM full-size SUV models, thank that IRS for the increase in 3rd legroom height and more cargo space, that makes a big difference vs the previous-gen models 3rd-row and cargo space, either way, it's a better Sequoia (well, at least in the 1st two rows), but is it better as a plus-size Land Cruiser, no hydraulic suspension like the LC (they need to at least offer 4-corner air suspension), a locker like previous game GM full-size SUV models, load-leveling rear air suspension like a 2001 Lincoln Navigator I believe, seriously, if Toyota did the new-gen Sequoia with an IRS setup vs live axle, then you could question what's the top dog full-size SUV is, as of now, GM, Ford, Jeep, and then, Toyota, Toyota dropped from 3 to 4th in my opinion, did Toyota really just create a long wheelbase LC and called it a Sequoia, Toyota strategy with LC (small full-size 3 row SUV) and Sequoia (medium/standard full-size 3 row SUV) worked for them, not all automakers offering full-size pickups needs a Suburban size SUV, now for price guessing, given Toyota just released hybrid cost for the Tundra, the current-gen base Sequoia started @ $50,500 now add $1,925 (the increase from previous-gen to new-gen Tundra) + $3,400 (for the Tundra hybrid system) equals $55,825 for the 4x2 and add an extra $3,000 (again new-gen Tundra prices) for 4x4 system equals $58,825 for the 4x4, for the based 4x2 and 4x4

For how I would use these machines, the lack of a true flat load floor when the seats are folded in the Sequoia is a deal breaker. Also, I just prefer the way the GM twins look. That powertrain is killer in the ‘Yota though.

[@ekgcanadianenthusiast9961]

I dont like the gm twins .the sequoia is better than suburban tahoe expedition and wagooner .this time toyota has done it

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

GM had the same issue amd they finally went to independent rear suspension, its interesting that toyota went back to a solid axle but I get why. Its better for towing and much, much better offroad because it actually has suspension travel and articulation, the others have practically no suspension travel and will lift wheels even over the smallest obstacles. Check the TFL video of the Z71 tahoe, major disappointment offroad. Couldnt even get over a small rock. The expedition also was terrible as the 4wd system overheated on TFL video and another auto test channel as well. The regular 4wd will easily beat the others offroad, and the TRD pro is going to mop the floor with every other large SUV when it comes to offroad by a huge margin. Not to mention the aftermarket lift and suspension kits that will ve available. But you trade 3rd row comfort. But the shelf system is pretty smart because you still get a flat load floor.

[@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix]

And GM had a solid rear axle up until the new tahoe came out when everyone else had gone to independent rear suspension, and it had no kind of solution for a flat load space and people still bought a ton of them.

@@dylanbuk7055 I detail cars as a side gig. I know it is an over generalization to say it, but I can see some similarities. I guess why I think that is because maybe I was hoping for a more unique vibe from Toyota.

[@dylanbuk7055]

@@P4SDetails it’s kind of hard probably to design a full size suv to look unique from the rest. Obviously the Tahoe and expedition look like what a full size suv would look like. With the straight lines and such. And even the wagoneer to that extent but a little bit different. The Toyota looks so much different from the rest will more unique body lines and rounded rear end. Which I’m not a fan of because the rounded rear doesn’t match with the how the front is designed but that’s just me

[@P4SDetails]

@@dylanbuk7055 great rundown. I know that my original statement was jumping to a conclusion. I need to spend some time with one up close. I dig detailing the newer model year vehicles to see all the differences, whether subtle or not. One thing I hope that they changed is the carpet though. Sounds dumb but I have yet to detail a Toyota carpet that I was in love with. Not as bad as Subaru, but it’s up there with the worst.

Not a little bit better. Its the after picture in a cleft pallet surgery. The Tundra is hideous. The power train is highly disappointing, making it a hell no.

[@CoxaBranca]

Given the past Sequoia sales position, and the "Japanese" origin of the brand, it would be more informative to compare the Sequoia versus the Nissan Armada/Infinity QX80. Will the new Sequoia overtake the sales of Armada+QX80 in the coming years? The Armada is easier to live with being just slightly more compact than the others, and also drives more sporty being based on the Nissan Patrol (which competes with the Land Cruiser in other parts of the world), so it is a big ask to see the Sequoia make this sales overtake.

[@02hreblue30]

armada is a gas hog and way too big
