The Last Well Built Toyota! (Toyota Sequoia TRD PRO)

[@dtay8913]

A truer title has never been made. Their quality has been down the toliet lately. Tacoma, Tundra, Lexus gx

[@jindpreetr1205]

thats true bro

[@dtay8913]

Forgot the corolla GR engine fires too.

[@GM-vg5rk]

I love My 4runner and GR86

[@GhostNinjaTactical]

Naw the Lexus GX is pretty sweet. New Sequoia and Tundra aren’t bad either

[@youarerightboss]

So, what are you going to go with? GM Garbage Manufactured FORD Found On Road Dead RAM Rambunctious Asinine Machines DODGE Dead On Delivery Guaranteed Emergency

[@youarerightboss]

Glad I purchased a new 2nd generation 2021 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro employing that bulletproof naturally aspirated 3UR-FE 5.7 liter V-8 engine and reliable 6 speed Aisan transmission

Your correct Ben, along with the 2024 and under 4Runner.

[@JokerG16]

Man I love those old Toyota V6 and V8 start ups. fucking music to my ears. These new ones sound like hair dryers.

[@JokerG16]

i love that lunar rock color

[@GhostNinjaTactical]

Army green was pretty sweet too.

[@JokerG16]

@ sure was. i prefer the army green color over the lunar rock, but lunar rock > that lava thing that did a couple yrs ago

[@hughhawley3169]

Amazing how much that Sequoia is like my 2007 Tundra SR5 with the TRD package. Same 5.7L V8 with the same plastic cover on top. Same little compartments in the door arm rests, same shape and location of the A/C controls and shifter and 4WD switch (although with different textures and finishes) same "secret compartment" between the shift lever and cup holders (lift up the cover from the latch toward the front), same double glove compartment, same center console. That was the first year of the newly redesigned Tundra and I bought it new for $29,250. 18 years and 257,000 miles later, still running strong.

[@classiccorvettesmusclecars5846]

Simplicity is the key to longevity..No cylinder deactivation, no stupid stop/start, analog gauges, real HVAC controls..

Thursday: I'm selling my Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro

[@rjhein]

Hey just a quick note - there is a button on the outside of the rear hatch that you can open the rear hatch, it's just that the power hatch doesn't engage if you do it that way, but you can certainly open it that way. Just thought I'd mention that because your vid seemed to suggest you can't open it from the outside without either the keyfob or interior button (which isn't the case). We owned a sequoia (in this gen) for 5 years and absolutely loved it - so much room inside, leg room was amazing. Ours wasn't the TRD Pro, it had standard suspension, however we upgraded to Bilstein 5100 shocks, which was a HUGE upgrade in handling etc. Far better, crisper handling and made towing way more stable. Ours had rear airbags as well (Factory) but not the adjustable shocks. I found the engine note (5.7L) very noisy compared to our 200 series (as you also mentioned) - way less sound deadening etc.

[@jordanimatedstreaming]

This thing is a beast. Performance capabilities may not be the best on paper but the durability and reliability combined with the ease of repair make it a road-going tank that can survive 3rd world country conditions. They just go and go, and 'drive like new' more than any other brand. Go drive one with tape over the odometer and see if you can guess the mileage.

[@DavidMacGillivray-kc6go]

Ben’s murdering it this weekend man, got my head spinning on what to get next.

[@insider9119]

Best truck I ever owned. 2020 sequoia trd pro

[@johnyota131]

Great looking Truck! 318 miles of range on a full tank?? Ouch!! 🤕 These Sequoias needed a bigger gas tank.

[@fjcruising7121]

Great buy Ben, keep it for a good while I have an 18 Platinum

[@KenMcCune-wb3jp]

It's still good looking suv for a Toyota love the V8 engine

[@GhostNinjaTactical]

There are some pretty sick Gen 2 Sequoia builds though. A lift and some big 35s mud tires and this thing looks fantastic

[@lawrencef3560]

Is it possible to remove the whole 2nd row seats, and replace another limited version's 2nd row seats on this TRD version? I'd love to have 8 seats in this truck

[@youarerightboss]

Enjoy your Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro, Ben. It's like riding on a cloud.

[@GoingFar77]

You have to own one to understand. It isn’t winning any beauty contests, but it will last forever, it’s very capable on and off road, and it has a great third row that is usable by actual adults. I disagree with Ben on one thing- the Platinum with the air suspension is definitely as smooth as the TRD Pro with the Fox. It’s the smoothest riding BOF I’ve ever been in.

[@davidchenette1091]

Very nice you have a good one 👍

[@gummysteve]

That's one of my dream colors

[@DB57RB]

Ben what in the hell 😮it's only been a couple months since I saw a video but you look like a gym bro wizard now... crazy. Clearly you've been putting in a ton of work with the iron.

[@youarerightboss]

Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro, simply the best

[@charlesserrano3966]

Can you please Make a video using the roof rack? Thank you

[@jcberb]

Glad I still have the last generation Tundra with under 40k on the odometer, should last me a life time.

[@2daih4]

Doesn’t have a tow break controller?

[@Excel812]

Ben, how long until you sell it?

[@BenHardyCars]

3.234 milliseconds

[@GM-vg5rk]

It's too cumbersome that's why it didn't sell. 4runner is nimble sold well till the end.

[@ellerybice3787]

With the Zest like color, and the shape of the body, I cannot resist comparing your Toyota to a Bar of nicely scented bath soap.

[@jimmulderig743]

Very nice

[@jeffdavis8892]

The last Sequoia's with the sliding rear window.

[@joeblack1052]

Redline reviews hated these 😅 Why they couldn’t just keep selling these with newer transmissions and engines ? Why reinvent the wheel?

[@MudMonsterRacing4]

Hey Ben what do you think about buying a new 2023 vehicle in 2025? How much of a discount should we be looking for? My hang up is that it has already depreciated. Its an Explorer ST BTW. Thanks.

[@DavidMacGillivray-kc6go]

15k discount

[@BenHardyCars]

Better be a huge discount, knock your socks off huge

[@MudMonsterRacing4]

@BenHardyCars It's down 14k off msrp right now.

[@gummysteve]

Personal cut off is my 2012 mazda 3. Simple/old is just better imo. This is, if my car was a bad a.. suv, I actually really like it, imma 3 to 9 kinda guy. 50 is about a years work...

[@MudMonsterRacing4]

@sbishopvt4650 It would be multiple wife's. I think the fun is wearing off on her 22 Bronco and she's itching for some more room and some more power 😄

[@andrewreese9802]

Tomorrow: 453 mile update

[@BenHardyCars]

Lol

[@AlexAlex-gs1xh]

No the new yukon, tahoe and sequoia are way better more features, bigger screen

[@BenHardyCars]

And they break down

[@AlexAlex-gs1xh]

@BenHardyCars not necessarily this screen is too small it should be atleast 10 inches and they don't break easily it's better to upgrade every 5 to 10yrs.

[@Drpepperkev4]

Older vehicles look so boring doesn't have the tech or engine power like the new ones

[@Letsberealish]

You should grow your beard out

[@Booblickoff]

Car Care Nut doesn't like this 5.7L motor

[@snorlaxTACO]

Really oh NO! Let me watch his video on it 😂

[@moisesceja5294]

You are right this looks like a blob. 🤣

[@EastonHB27]

I would say a new Tahoe is probably just as reliable, if not more, than a new Sequoia. Crazy how Toyota has dropped in reliability lately. Love this color by the way

[@bradengleman4781]

Slow down Ben. Could you talk any faster. Not watching you anymore.

[@willdembik688]

Love the reliability, but by far the most blah looking fullsize suv of the time.

[@jjk109]

That’s great but the small outdated infotainment screen and controls are a deal breaker for me.

[@BenHardyCars]

Deal maker for me

[@AlexAlex-gs1xh]

@@jjk109 same.

[@jeffp5418]

A deal breaker? I guess you've never heard of an auto stereo store? They make large after market screens if thats your thing.

[@AlexAlex-gs1xh]

@jeffp5418 I don't trust those and why should I spend more money to put those when I can get it already in some models I would rather buy a new car that is cheaper than an overpriced toyota with more features.

[@jeffp5418]

@ Ok, lets see how that "cheaper" car is on resale compared to something like this Sequoia, also down the road maintenance costs. I'm not a fan of a laptop in my vehicles, we get too much screen time as it is, just something that plays music.

[@christopherkozal7987]

lol! Headline is compete BS 😂 cmon Baw. New Sequoia is much nicer

[@BenHardyCars]

Until that turbo engine blows up👀

[@christopherkozal7987]

@ yet, we don’t hear of that happening. My FIL has the 1794 Tundra w/ Turbo Hybrid & it’s been flawless.

[@BenHardyCars]

@@christopherkozal7987my friends exploded at less than 20k and many people have had the same. They message me about it.

[@highplainsdrifter9849]

100K engine replacements. 😮

[@jindpreetr1205]

second

[@Muhammad_Shpakovskii]

Last great full size suv from Toyota , new much cheaper and not reliable, v6 with mpg like V8 . 😂🤦🏽‍♂️

[@MrJakob49]

This is what happens when shitty car salesmen try to get into KZbin. Every video you make you seem to know nothing about cars at all!! Your look is grungy and speaks for itself. Get professional, clean your shit up, and learn about what you’re talking about….
