I think this is one of those nuance things when it comes to the TRD PRO badge. Let's not forget that that badging really springs forth more from Toyota's Baja racing division than from crawling through ruts, mud and rocks. This is why you have to really understand their trims and do your research, lest you are subject to the "buyers remorse". But, you are right, TK, Toyota likes to blur that line with off-roading to appeal to more people through marketing and also by offering more capability in those areas with other models. The Sequoia has always been a "people mover" and adding some of the PRO gadgets just puts it into more of a "ruggedized" version maybe better suited to taking people to the cabin in bad weather over the weekend or some light overlanding. It is sort of like adding a rubber case to your iPhone...

I must say this kind of contrasts with you previous video comparing it with the Armada. You guys said you would feel comfortable taking this off road, and I had my doubts about that. I'm pretty sure you feel differently after filming this about taking this off road. I would classify this and the Armada as rather similar in the off roading situation despite the package differences. Only difference is tires really, and you can easily swap that out on the Armada for the price difference.

The biggest aspect of this vehicle will come down to where you live. This vehicle will perform much better in the right environment ( desert / rocky road ). Put a 3.5 inch lift on it and 35’s, it will transform to an all terrain tank. Sucks it doesn’t come equipped off the lot for the price but lets not forget its a 3 row SUV. So many people buy high end “ off road “ vehicles and still have to add wheels , tires and suspension. This is no different.

My wife and I just finished paying it off last year and I cannot imagine how anyone can afford that new one at $85,000 and the interest rates that exist today. We have four kids and they were all young and now much older and bigger so the Sequia is a great vehicle for us. Fun story we had it in for the 100,000 mile service last year and I took the kids to pick it up because I wanted them to get in and tell me if they liked the new one. They all jumped in and the first thing they all agreed on was it is smaller than the previous generation. My son who is 17 and 6 foot 2 was hitting his head on the roof on the new one while he has several inches of clearance in our Sequia. Unless you are short and a millionaire I would just buy a used previous gen if you need a Sequia.

I want to like the new Sequoia but I'm a bit skeptical of some of the reviews from several owners such as the disappointment in the suv's interior quality for the price and lack of space in the trunk and 3rd row area as well as the unrefined hybrid powertrain and ride quality. I was a big fan of the prior generation Land Cruiser 200 with the 5.7 V8s when they were in production and everything about them was superb quality. I really like the Sequoia's new body style redesign but I really hope for the next couple years they can work out the flaws of this vehicle. I feel like it wasn't worth the switch for Toyota to go to this all new hybrid iForce Max system because it barely gets better MPG than the 5.7 or even the non hybrid twin turbo 6.

Evidentially it's not obvious to everyone that if you want to go through stuff like that (very common where I live) the Sequoia is going to need a small lift and 35's. For those saying it's marketed for that stuff so it should be able to do it, wow. If you can't figure out in about 3 seconds what kind of wheeling it can do you're way out of your element and should just stick to mall crawler patrols. It doesn't take much to drastically improve the Sequoia's off road abilities for the 2% or so that wheel it. There's no shortage of new Sequoia build and videos of them traversing some serious terrain. Jepp capable.....nope, Bronco capable....nope, but they can damn sure do a hell of a lot more without much effort for those that really do intend to use them that way.

That is not a proper off road suv based on what you just demonstrated. Ground clearance is important and approach angle. Perhaps Toyota is targeting soccer Moms just to look good on what appears to be off road truck but no intention to do so. What a legitimate marketing strategy.

Actually a lot might try it. It’s not a stretch at all to find dirt roads that the sequoia can do well on because the road is just a dirt gravel road and then come across a washout similar size than this crossing is. They will try to cross.

What is the estimate for the damage on the front? Just curious since we have snow in Canada and if someone uses this vehicle in winter and drives in a snow storm while in a city after the plows have left improvised snow banks then they hit there front like you proved on a test what would they be looking at cost wise? Still a most excellent episode as always!!! 😁

Thanks for this great off-road test. I think this large SUV missed the mark with this “fancy” looking front and back bumpers. I’d expect a much tougher front bumper like from the Dodge Rebel or something… I mean, it’s a TRD Pro right?!?!

Well there is one thing I think this Sequoia TRD Pro will be good at and that is on a slippery boat launch pulling out a heavy boat. The lockers and traction control will be great on trailering duty. Honestly, who is going to take that very expensive vehicle thru what Steveo just did...noone with any sense. It was a good test just not what this truck was meant for despite its name. If you want to do this type of offroad, try a Rubicon or Bronco Badlands or higher trim.

The side steps are like loud tuning forks on gravel, & the inadequate mud guards do nothing to stop this. Not to mention the lack of overall sound proofing through out the vehicle… However the power train & ride quality for light off roading is top drawer in my 2020 TRD.

"taking a big heavy vehicle and calling it an off-roader" Bingo, but this is what people never understand. Size has a disadvantage off-road, the bigger your vehicle, the less capable it is off-road. Wranglers have been the best size for off-roading, you want a mid-size vehicle with a strong body. I seen big trucks fold themselves in half, trying to be off-roaders.

To be honest if you did this with most trucks off the factory, I mean slow rolling into a mud ditch, pretty much all vehicles with stock tires will get stuck. I've seen beached top spec'd Broncos in the same scenario.
