The SEQUOIA, The Driver and The Cameraman deserve credit. This SEQUOIA is a beast. I didn't know SEQUOIA are this capable
They are totally badass
And their engines can go 1 million miles if meticulously taken care of out the showroom.
Shit I have a 2018 sequoia and I didn’t know it was this capable off-road. Wow I’m super impressed. If it had front and rear lockers this truck will be the doomsday truck to have.
@@mr.c493 Also, the absence of a solid rear axle gives the truck adequate clearance which makes a world of a difference in rock crawling.
2nd SEQUOIA is the only toyota body on frame truck that never had a solid rear axle.
The 80 series LANDCRUISER was the last Toyota truck with Solid Front Axle and Front and Rear Lockers
These trucks got the rep of a soccer mom car, but cruisers also can fall into that... Just on the other side of the tracks, lol. Dedicated rear locking diff and size are the only two major differences between the two from an off-roading perspective.You can also put a rear locking diff on a seq if you find the need. There are points in this video where you can see that it would have helped, but ultimately it wasn't needed.
This is probably the best video I’ve seen yet demonstrating the Sequoia’s off road capability. I can’t wait to mod mine w/a 2.5” lift, 34” tires, rock rails, a bumper, and skids.
Thanks :-) more to come as I'm rocking 37s now!
Watch the tandem off-road videos!
@@c3nixon With all your mods, what's your onroad MPG vs your offroad MPG? Thanks!
@slandshark with my poor driving style somewhere around 13 mpg with all the added weight from gear, etc. When ibsay poor driving style I have this problem with not wanting others to pass me. So I am usually going a few mph faster than the fastest driver.
I still need to get it regeared and tuned. On a trip I did to NM/AZ with a large group going speed limits o got prob closer to 15 hwy and prob around 10 while in 4h or 4l on trails. Comparing to others in the group (jeep gladiators, wranglers, Tacoma, xterra) I used the most gas at each fill up but it was usually somewhere around 2 or 3 gallons more.
@@c3nixon Thanks for the numbers, that's good to know. Our 2023 Subaru Ascent dropped to about 16 to 18mpg onroad (previously 19 to 22mpg) after getting the 2" front and 2.5" rear lift (plus all the other mods, skid plates, rock sliders, etc). When offroad we've gone down as far as about 11mpg, but typically see 12 to 14mpg.
I was curious how much more of a mpg hit we'd take if we decided to get a Sequoia. I'm assuming you use regular gas and not premium?
Love hearing tires rolling over gravel and those little skid noises when the tire finds traction 😌
I absolutely love my 2005 Sequoia… The best kept secret from Toyota
The best one when I have seen. Perfect
The aforementioned is really designed for off road racing but does splendid crawling.
Toyota, simply the BEST!
Outstanding driving.
Toyota Sequoia, nothing like it !
Dependability, safe and comfortable.
Love watching these big pigs be light and agile on their feet.
Well done.
Damn dude, why you gotta do the drivers like that! 😆
They need to hurry and make a high clearance rear bumper. Extremely capable overland rig and no options for rear bumper. I’ve got a nice gen 2 setup about the same. Love it. The Family love going out on the adventures
I have someone designing one for me now.... stay tuned...
There is a company that makes or is making one, to the tune of $4k though.
@@ryanjewell9832 yea that's Tandem Offroad in Texas. I had mine custom built a few weeks before they opened up for sale. Massive vehicle uses lots of steel!
@@c3nixon yeah, still can get a swing out for my tundra a bit cheaper, but theirs looks good quality, and if your the only game in town, you can pretty much charge what you want.
I been researching and everyone says the 1st gen Sequoia is better for off road, but this looks darn good to me.
Honestly the true mash up is 70% driver experience and 30% vehicle. The more experience you get with a vehicle and know what it's capable of the farther you can take it. The 2nd gen is a very capable vehicle. :-)
Best looking 2nd Gen I've seen (and I'm biased lol). I almost bought a 4runner but my gut told me to go bigger. Lucky I did bc I met my wife and we have two kids each! We all fit in the Smittybilt XL no prob, kids on top, adults in the annex. Subscribed!
Thanks, the XL was definitely worth the purchase. Plenty of space - don't have the annex yet but sleeps the 5 of us fine so far. Annex is on the list tho cause the kiddos keep growing. Tent looks much smaller up there now that I have a full rack.
TOYOTA'S A-TRAC SYSTEM is by far the best formidable offroading system.
From my research, over 100 TOYOTA Engineers Tested The A-Trac Systems in various regions and terrains all over the World and found it to outperform the Front and Rear locking Differential Systems.
Ever noticed that all their lineup the A Trac is standard even in the GX, LX, LANDCRUISER and RLD is optional on Tacoma TRD
Thats why
Sequoias rock.
Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro, simply the BEST!
Nice camera and nice spotter and driver. Sick. Im doing close to 3 inch w/ Bilstein 6112 (front), 5112 (OME) rear with 34s. You think I can tackle this trail?
@mrgreen859 yea, take smart lines and get a spotter if you feel uncofortable. These tanks are much more capable than you may think. Play around with/learn the a-trac before going. Get your vehicle in a controled situation where you intentionally have 2 wheels slightly off ground. So you can get a feel for the low rpm a-trac engaging. Will help you get through 99% of your obstacles. RPM between 1000 and 1700. Wheel will spin about 1.5 to 2 full spins then sends power to the other wheel.
Love my 2016 Sequoia: Dobinsons IMS 1.75” lift w/ Durobumps front bump stops. On 33’s for now but will jump up to 34s or 35s next time. Full RCI skids including a-arms and gas tank. Tandem rock sliders and rear diff skid. ARB twin compressor under the hood. Morimoto headlights. TRD grill. Squadron Pro Amber Fogs. I was thinking of doing front and rear lockers but have not found the need. Very capable on anything I’m doing like the loop from weber lake to meadow lake to tollhouse lake to Jackson meadows reservoir and back to weber lake in the sierras.
How does that Dobinson IMS 1.75" setup ride?
Do you feel like 1.75" gives enough ground clearance?
That is a pretty amazing video. Really impressed that the Sequoia functionally seems to work as if it had lockers (rear and front) even though it does not. It's drive system seems to work incredibly well, or am I missing something?
If I'm not wrong the 2nd gen has center differential locker.
Has center diff lock but no front and rear lockers. They finally exist but as you point out.... don't necessarily need for all obstacles if you drive it right.
@@c3nixon has ATRAC, so that helps
@@DxTriplExD it does
Toyota has a very well developed drive system with traction control. Its awesome.
I love this video and all the info I’ve gathered from just the comment section alone. I recently purchased a 2008 Toyota Sequoia and with time I’d like to give it that rugged off road look as well. My question for you is, how is yours on gas? I feel like I have to refuel every few days 😅 wondering if I have a gas leak of some sort since I do sometimes SMELL gasoline 🧐
They are not built to get good mileage that's for sure. They kind of have a small tank to. 26 gallon tank BUT 6 gallons is reserve. So unless you go under E often you will be using roughly 20 gallons by fill up. 12ish mpg with all the mods and weight. I drive a lot to... so typically fill up once or more a week. You should use the lucas gas additive from Walmart. Makes a noticeable diff in keeping the system clean slightly more pep in its step and improves mpg slightly.
The smell is normal for Toyotas to. Especially if you drop the back window and step on it.
Full size suvs can be shockingly good offroad the 2010-14 expeditions have an amazing 4x4 system
I know it's an old video but awesome work. What brand sliders are you running?
Thanks, the sliders I have are custom made by MEO. (Midwest Expedition Outfitters) based out of Oklahoma. Welded to the frame. Very solid I have put the weight of the vehicle on them a few times. Even completely pivoted around stuff using them.
@@c3nixon well that's probably why I've never saw any others like them. They definitely look good. May have to check with my local guy and see what he can whip up.
under-rated suv
Greatness!
Love my second gen
Imagine if it didn’t have the weight of the RTT. True beast.
RTT probably doesn't weigh over 200lbs. Consider it like another passenger.
@@slandshark my fault for not being clear; was referring to CoG.
Fav part of the video - the burps at 1:10 and 1:12.
Just got my 2.5 dobinsons IMS installed. Cant wait to get it out on the road. The rear springs look like monsters. When looking at it it's not perfectly straight. Slight curve as if it's too big. Is that like yours? Rides good on road like factory. Just waiting on my rims and tires
Does not seem like they curve.... you have the right length shocks with them? Hit me up on Instagram- nixon.toy and I'll send you a pic of it
I take that back the more I stare at them they do seem a hair crooked.
I've got the same lift and LOVE it!
Gen 1 Sequoia's are getting snatched up pretty quick. Prices have gone up too.
Yea, but this one is a gen 2... same issue they get snatched up quick as well.
@@c3nixon What skid plate and bumper ? Thanks.
Dv8 bumper and RCI skids.
Who makes the front bumper? Best one I’ve seen so far! Thanks for the info and video 👍
DV8
Looks good
good vid
Just bought a second gen 2010 sequoia, but unfortunately it is 2 wheel drive with the standard 5.7 V8. Any ideas on how to make it more rugged with off-road capabilities? Btw I enjoyed your video and I am regretting why I didn't go for the 4 wheel drive version, everyone I spoke with said it wouldn't make a noticeable difference but no way I can tackle this course with a 2 wheel drive. Suggestions???
You can do lift and tires for more rugged look. This will give some more ability to go offroad... but if you were primarily planing to use for offroad you could always sell and get 4x4. Otherwise it's still a large spacious, comfortable and powerful vehicle :-)
@@c3nixon thanks man. Really appreciate your advise. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Hard block or standard block imitation?
What pressure are you running?
This video I had 35s with 20 inch rims. Ran 20 psi. I have 37s with 17 inch rims now and run 15 psi
How will a stock sequoia with a/t tires handle that terrain?
Probably fine but you would definitely want skid plates and rock sliders.
Who says Toyota Sequoia’s are too big for off-roading? They aren’t even that bad, bruh, in fact, I am trying to save up for one
New to the off road world…what is MOAB???
It is a place. MOAB, Utah. If you get into offroading it is well worth multiple visits.
Love the look. Question on the tires: did the 35" rub or did it require cutting? I have the same 3"/2.5" and looking to upsize. Dont want to cut though.
No rub with the 35s also I had trimmed nothing on this setup. I have the SPC upper control arms to allow for more tire clearance. Now... after this video I am running 37s which required some trimming.
Let’s see the 37s!
@@ryanpatrick7086 go to @nixon.toy on Instagram.
Awesome. Would love to see the 37's. My lift is Bilstein 6112 w/ total chaos upper, toytec shock w/ OME 2868. Sounds like 35s are next.
Wow, so close and tight all the time
I'm just curious, but why 20" wheels and not something smaller like 18"?
When I bought the rig originally... it had 20s on it. I had to decide.... after dropping 6k on rock sliders, skid plates and lift... do I drop another 2k on new rims as well as the 2k for new tires.... or keep the 20s to save 2k... so I kept the 20s and went 35x12.5r20... then like 5 months later ditched the 20s for 17s... so now I am running 37x13.5r17.
@@c3nixon Ahh, yep makes total sense. I went through that process as well. We have a 2023 Subaru Ascent and after a recent bad experience in deep snow with Falken Wildpeak A/T tires I ended up buying a larger diamater, but still 18" set of Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's. I had wanted to drop to 17" wheels, but like you said didn't want to spend money on yet another set of wheels just to have to sell the others I had recently bought. :)
We have done skid plates, rock sliders, lift, winch, welded front recovery points, swingout hitch, and rear diff locker, plus some other stuff. We just broke 2 axles though and the CVT is already showing signs of dying after just 30k miles. I'm thinking we are pushing this vehicle too much for what we use it for (overlanding/offroad). We are a family of 6 plus large dog, so we weigh it down with cargo/passengers.
Last year we took it through Utah BDR (sections 1 - 3) and drove through MOAB. Awesome time! Hoping finish that in the future.
I found a 2020 Toyota Sequoia Limited nearby with 36k miles on it....seriously considering trading in our Ascent for the Sequoia just for the bigger size (interior) and for a hopefully more appropriate platform for overlanding/offroading for our family size. It's the cost that's stopping me though. It's listed at $57k and our vehicle is only worth about $35k max for trade-in... so about a $20k difference, plus I'd have to rebuy all the mods for the Sequoia.
Kinda wish I started with the Sequoia in the first place. My Wife doesn't like big vehicles though. Also considered a 4runner, but the 3rd row is pretty terrible and you lose all your trunk space when it's up.
Anyway, if you find a spare $20k laying around let me know. haha
Thanks for sharing. Is the Sequoia lifted? What size tires ? Thanks
Yes. It has a 3 inch lift in front and 2.5 in rear. This video it is on 35 inch tires. Sin e this video I have changed tires and now it has 37 inch tires.
I hope this video doesn't go viral coz car dealers will start gouging folks. This Quia is a beast.
Nice work... I have a 2021 and it has sensors on the bumper. Does yours? Where did you get that style bumper?
Thanks. I had sensors on rear bumper but not the front. I got it off ebay for 500 bucks! First eBay purchase and we'll worth it. DV8 is the brand.
@@c3nixon The bumper looks great! But those rock sliders! 😍 Where'd you pick those up?
How is your oil pressure on long downhill sections of trails? Mine gets pretty low...
Would anyone happen to know the brand of that bumper? Ive been in the marked for one and cant find anything good in my opinion
DV8 is the brand
Love it but very expensive 'bumps'... lol
good work in the mini van!! 🤙🤙🤙 just subscribed!!
Thanks ... a little more trimming to clear these 37s I have then I will make some more content.
@@c3nixon nice! I’ve been waiting for suspension for a few weeks now, everything is on back order! I’m trying to be more consistent with content also! I’ve got a video on my channel in Moab as well but in my 1st gen. Haven’t gotten the 2nd gen out that way yet!
Rear bumper has left the chat
New rear bumper in welding stages.... stay tuned!
You can get a locker and a regear from Tandem Offroad
@charles, did you do the course in 4lo with standard traction control systems?
Yes 4LO with center diff lock
@@c3nixon any other diflocks? Rear front? Or imitation? If so, imitation works very well
@@milavokams3546 no front/rear lockers
@@c3nixon that’s very impressive.
Anyone ever installed the electric rear locker that's made for the sequoia?
what front bumper is that?
DV8 Front Bumper
@@c3nixon how was the fit and install of the bumper. been looking at those. which model did you get for reference?
Bruh the guy breathing tho
Are you using the stock roof rack? Not many roof rack options for our cars and it's so over priced...
Yes I am. I actually just got a new roof rack from ALOffroad and I'm installing it today. Check out nixon.toy on Instagram later today or tomorrow I'll have pics up
@@c3nixon Did you upgrade for the sake of upgrading or was it not sufficient? I ask because I don't want to spend $1,000 on a rack just to put a $1000 tent up there.
@@JKUadventures I have a very big tent and a family of 5. Smittybilt XL equivalent of a King size bed. It fits us all... 2 factory bars held fine... I upgraded for looks and more support for our weight. Kids are 14, 10 and 7.... and kids just keep getting bigger :-P I will eventually do a room under the tent and move the kids down.... but the new rack.... dam check it out on nixon.toy Instagram just posted
@@c3nixon Thank you Charles. I also have 3 kids 20,17,16, so they can hardly be consider kids anymore. But I got the sequoia to accommodate them instead of a Rubicon. Thus I'm trying the make the best of it, because the aftermarket options for our sequoia is limited. Thanks for the explanation and keep enjoying off-roading with your family.
You need more tire meat and get smaller wheels. More meat more traction when deflate to 15lb psi
Shortly after this trip I fixed that. This video I had 20 inch rims and 35 inch tires. Now I have 17 inch rims and 37 inch tires. Check out the 2nd moab compilation and you will see the difference.
Sweet...now you can go lower psi lol
At 1:23 is the camera guy ok he sounded like he was gonna faint
Have also liked and subscribed, have a feeling it'll be useful 👎
20" wheels on an "off-roader"?
Yea... they came with the truck when I got it.... at the time I dropped close to 6k on lift skid plates and a bunch of other crap. So I opted to keep the rims and just do tires.... BUT.... I have 17 inch rims that just arrived a few days ago.... and 37s ordering this week....
@@c3nixon That will be sweet!
What size tires are these in the video?
I can't wait to get my 87 Jimmy to Moab some time! ruclips.net/video/4qo3VibaraE/видео.html
