Toyota's New Luxury Rig Is Rad // 2023 Sequoia Capstone 4x4

[@paulkeosombat2387]

Sometimes I watch you do New vehicle test drive just to hear your dry sense of humor, without knowing what car you're testing. It put a smile on my face!!😜

[@eric19875]

Again, a great, funny and straightforward review. Love it Sarah.

[@holnugget]

I own a 2018 Platinum and its the second one I have owned. I previously owned a 2011 Limited Edition. Amazing vehicles and I love them. Tons of room and drives great!

[@cloed0ll]

Isn't 2011 and 2018 basically the same generation but just facelift? I almost forget how absolutely dated the previous generation was. They still look absolutely rugged though.

[@holnugget]

@@cloed0ll Yes - same engine and minor facia upgrades and safety features such as bsm, auto lights, laser cruise, etc. Also LED lights were added in 18.

[@SarahnTuned]

As much as I love the UZ and UR V8s, I can’t knock the new Twin Turbo 6 like so many people do. The whole wastegate issue I feel was turned into a big doom and gloom scare piece about turbos. I guess it’s different through the eyes of a car enthusiast though 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@holnugget]

@@SarahnTuned every car manufacturer seems to be going to turbos. You can’t get away from them. The upside is gas savings and peppiness…the downside is the maintenance cost if that turbo breaks or leaks or needs replacement.

[@ahmadghosheh3104]

@@SarahnTuned I agree. This is Toyota, it's not going to be an experiment, they knew what they are doing

[@richardp5494]

Another award winning review, honest and straightforward!! Loving it Sarah, even how to say the name of the vehicle 😂😂👍

Geez I think this is about the best built consumer SUV i've ever seen. Its like a tank. Thanks for the great review Sarah!

[@joelhidalgo1677]

This was a very pleasant, light hearted informative review. I love your take on car reviews it’s fresh and fun to watch.

Great job on the video Sarah! Thanks for making it. Those clouds looked super dope reflected in that blue hood.

You sold this one.. I'll be testing it. Damn gorgeous. And a 6.. 😍😍😍😍😍

[@patapouf75]

In off-road trails, i never use 4L... this is my ultimate weapon... only if I'm stuck... If i get stuck on 4H, i put the 4L.. And if it get slipper, it's easier to get faster to not get stuck on the 4H.

[@cadmando18]

That is a great looking vehicle for sure, and I actually like the interior look and exterior look. Doesn't hurt that the AWD system looks to handle pretty well. Great review Sarah, Happy New Year!

[@pugs9278]

It gets better mileage than my 2004 Sequoia with the 4.7. But I keep my cars until they need to be junked, and the turbos don’t scream longevity. But it looks sweet I’m looking at the Lexus GX460. No turbo, 8 cylinder

[@mostcom]

would you believe them if they did?

[@thomasphilyaw8593]

Your rear camera caught the Sequoia crying when you were giving it the beans. Awesome review

[@johnmbell4642]

Hey Sarah, awesome review as always. The Kapstone sure is pretty, but absolutely the Trd pro is the way to go, and I know which kind of cheese would fly the best Limburg😂🐧🐧🐧👍

[@SarahnTuned]

Agree 100%. This generation Sequoia is really good looking I feel though compared to past.

[@angelas4681]

"...bumper chastity belt..." 😂😂😂

[@wild_lee_coyote]

I totally forgot it was on a 1-10 scale and not on a 1-5 like it used to be. The ratings make more sense now.

[@weltraumaffe4155]

Thanks, I agree and I didn't know either.

[@SarahnTuned]

Yeah, I changed up how I concluded the score a little still so it’s no “double”. The bean factor takes 0-60 into account mathematically but is then skewed based on gut feeling.

[@wild_lee_coyote]

@@SarahnTuned does that mean the penguin score takes into account how many penguins like the vehicle?

[@R1S609]

Same… I was confused for a second. Glad I checked.

[@stucook8622]

Helloing Sarah...Thanks for the video 🌻🐧

[@nosefirst]

I don't watch many car reviews anymore but 0:02 Sarah is exceptional.

[@syxepop]

The probable reason you won't find too much "off-road goodies" in the new Sequoia is the room Toyota is letting for the slighly smaller and narrower 3-row US-spec Land Cruiser, made from the next gen Land Cruiser Prado / Lexus GX. In those Toyota and Lexus are expected to put plenty of "off-road goodies" including higher ground clearance, longer suspension travel and a beefier shock system. The engine combo may actually be the same Hybrid Max (PHEV) as this Sequoia. The next 4Runner would be then a lower 2-row BOF SUV based on this same chassis family, but with the T-2.4L I4 instead of a V6.

[@jameswolfe7485]

Never thought I'd see you mud wrestling, Sarah. You managed it without getting too, well, muddy, on camera!

[@samwise4me903]

I love your offbeat sense of humor.

[@hereticxhexen]

since u have problems recording ur car from outside in muddy situations... i've seen some video of a drone with recording camera that "trace" the car or a device in the car after setting the desired hight & distance... that would help ya alot watch out for power cables though...

[@JayLepisto]

90's boombox cheap, kick the bumper to read a QR code...nice! Fun take on this bloated grocery getter. I noticed an improved resolution on the driving footage, are my tired eyes deceiving me? Beautiful sky scenes remind me of how much I hate the PNW this time of year.

[@scottiencali]

Wow this looks like the new soccer mom status "off roader" that will never see dirt. Cant wait to see these all lined up at the school pickup zone. Great review tho Sarah have a great weekend!

[@Sventy11]

This is a really nice rendition, but I don't think I would ditch my 2020 for one of these. I really can't get over the cargo space in the new hybrids. My 3rd row folds flat and its a ton of very useful and valuable space. And to be honest, I've seen 18mpg (calculated) on trips in it. It's not much worse than that even for daily driving. I don't see how current sequoia owners would benefit from a 23, but just my $0.02

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

I'm staying with my 70 D-100 it still gets 20 MPG doing less than 10 mile trips at a time.

[@weirdshibainu]

They should have just refreshed the exterior of the last generation and put serious money into the interior

Don’t ditch those 2nd gens, they have the tanky 5.7 L V8, it’ll probably outlast the new v6 turbocharched ones too

Loveeeeee your review.....again. This engine should be on the Lexus GX with the 10 speed and I would buy it tomorrow. 80K is a lot of money for a box on wheels. Many of us will never own one. Just too much for a day to day riding. This is a very solid truck, no doubt.

I am glad Toyota found a new supplier for the turbo wastegate. I hear replacing the turbo involves removing the body off the frame. Does the Sequoia have the same wind noise issues as the Tundra? It almost looks like the Tundra window moves in its rack, so it is more than a seal issue. BTW, I am a Toyota-owner, so don’t take my comments as just a “hater”. When Toyota gets it all right I may go Sequoia next time, currently in a 2007 Tundra.
