  • The Toyota Sequoia has been a mainstay on the world’s trails and backroads for the past two decades. So then, the new-for-2023 Sequoia has a lot to live up to. As road test editor Joe Berry found out in the TRD PRO model, the first thing the Sequoia will have to justify to prospective buyers… is its price. Get the full story HERE ➡️ bit.ly/407rYxz

      not for $80k plus the $15,000 mark up and its to much of. a 3 row luxury car than a off roader , as most of us off roaders, car campers overlnders ,dont want , need or will ever have a use for a 3rd row ,we want cargo space ,payload , @9:07 the 3rd row seat takes up to much cargo space when folded down

    I've had my '02 Sequoia for 6 years. Can sleep in the back, roll down the rear window, same fuel mileage with the indestructible V8, still looks great and runs smooth with 360k on the clock. $4k with no car payments or depreciation to worry about.

    That was one of the most Jakle & Hyde reviews I've seen in a long time. I have a 3rd gen 4runnner & a '02 Mx-5. Deferent strokes 4 different folks. I bought my stuff 4 me, not other people. There's too many people buying stuff they don't need, with money they don't have, too impress people they don't like.

    I’m a current 4Runner owner and after seeing the looks of this new TRD Sequoia I was excited to get one! But upon seeing that the rear seats don’t fold flat AND the rear window no longer rolls down, it ruined it for me. Those are among two of my favorite features from my current ‘16 4Runner. I really hope they fix that in the future, because otherwise, this is an amazing vehicle!

      @@entreptilesI think it’s beautiful! I do wish the back seats were a little flatter than they are, but given the hybrid option, apparently that’s what they had to do. I know it’s available without it to have a bit more space in the back, but for my next 4Runner I’d only want to do the TRD Pro and I think it’s only option is the hybrid, so here we are 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 Kinda like my 2016 a little more, but will be excited to get the new one once it’s time for an upgrade. Mine has 205k miles on her with lots of life left for sure!

    Wow! Too bad the workin men and women who used to drive Toyotas for decades can't afford them anymore. Even if you put like half down on it, your interest rate will ensure your payment is well over $1000 per month. Not to mention the fuel costs and property taxes. By the way, you can get a Subaru Crosstrek for $28K that can handle 90% of what this truck can.

      A Subaru Crosstrek can't even do half of what this will do, don't compare a unibody chassis to a ladder frame chassis, in a difficult obstacle the Crosstrek will require a lot of effort and thinking to scale through, but the Toyota will require less effort due to its ladder frame architecture

    I guess I don’t get this whole video or the “humor”. It doesn’t take much to spec out less capable SUVs for $80k…go to your local Starbucks, Home Depot, or shopping mall, and the parking lots are full of pickups and crossovers that are north of $80k, and not as capable.

    Toyota is about to lose customers. Replacing a V8 with hybrid and batteries that doesn't get better mileage is a terrible idea. They're doing the same thing with Tacoma and 4runner, albeit with the classic V6. No one wants to lose their reliable Toyota motor to a bunch of batteries.
