This is awesome! Sequoias are definitely underrated in the overland world!
Amen brother!
yes TRD PRO is lil to much luxury car
Too big for the trails and too heavy to repair offroad
@@roy254ify it’s not THAT big. But I feel you. My 4Runner is the trail rig and our suburban is the family rig.
More like pricey. No one wants to touch their sequoias when they have it.
Interesting reading the comments and how some people are like it’s a Sequoia and will never be used as an off roader . I have a 2019 Sequoia and it spends lots of time off road and loves it . I’ve had 6 Tacomas , 4 Tundras , and FJ-40 and hands down the Sequoia is my favorite. Looked at the new sequoias and am not sold on the way the cargo area is , with the hybrid system it does not lay down flat and storage is an issue. Thanks for sharing yours
Toms Sequoia is setup really nice and he actually uses it. It’s funny how people have to try and tell you your own business lol either way it’s a cool rig, just not for everyone.
man what a beautiful beast. One of the best Sequoia built I've ever seen!!
Amen! It’s even better in person
Super cool. I love seeing what people do with different rigs. Have fun with her out there.
Me too! Excited to do more rig tours and see more of what everyone is doing with their rigs.
Nice rig!!! Simple and elegant!!
I like to call it “tasteful”
Absolutely jaw dropping! Nice rig!
Tom did such a great job with this build!!
Great build. I LOVE the looks of the new Sequoia. One of my favorite rigs.
I love what Tom has done with it. It’s so tastefully done and yes, the new sequoia is a great looking vehicle!
We love our Sequoia. This is great set up!
Awesome! I know Tom loves his too
Perfect for getting groceries and taking the family to the movie theater! Nice!
This one actually performs great offroad. Don’t let the clean paint fool you.
My fav rig! Nice video
Thank you! It was awesome filming and working with Tom on this video.
That thing is sick! I got to detail one of those a little while back and they are unreal.
They’re so much better in person. People like to knock it from the keyboard, but it can’t be judged till you actually see it and ride in it.
@@dillansgarage agreed. The one I worked on had the Owner's custom suspension he fabricates, with ADS Shocks and sitting on 37's. That thing floats through the whoops!
@@SinCityDetail damn epic
Fantastic build. Looks great. Just in case anyone is buying, sr5 almost always offers and sr5 premium package, just like with the pickups and the 4Runners.
Love what Tom did with his Sequoia. It was great being able to interview him. and Thanks for info!
Looks great!👌
Tom did a great job with that Sequoia! It was awesome to check it out and film it in detail
Nice Video! Great build and an even greater guy Tom!! 🙌🏾
You must know Tom. He’s a rad dude!
Thanks for watching! It was a honor to interview Tom and film his rig.
@@dillansgarage yes! We caravanned together to overland expo a few weeks ago out of murrieta, fun times!
@@fullmag_tundra Awesome! I’m bummed I’m missed that one! But I’ll be there for the next
Beautiful rig. Well done
Tom did a great job and worked with the right companies. Such a great looking rig.
Lol dang man, seeing these Sequoias make me want to upgrade our GX lol! Nice build brother!
Do it!!
That is so sick. I love it.
Amen brotha! I wouldn’t complain if I had one haha was stoked to interview Tom for this video.
Damn that thing is gorgeous!!
Tell me about it 😍😍 wish it was mine haha
Solid review. Even better Toyota 🔥
Thank you! Had a great time filming this one
Can't wait to see this beauty again up close at Overland Expo PNW! Come check it out in our booth if you'll be there! Great build overview guys!
What's up ICON! Amazing job on this suspension. Can't wait to see what else you have at Expo PNW!
Damn that’s a beautiful rig
Amen brotha!
Such a sick yet simple rig, but those mpgs are killing me😢😂for a hybrid you would think it would be a bit better but hey, it’s all about the smile per gallon.
You said it. This thing gets great smiles per gallon. To be fair, anything with big tires, tall suspension, and a loaded roof, even if hybrid, will get crap MPGs lol
Hey Tom - awesome mods on your SR5 Premium.
Are you considering installing the TRD Pro Fender Flares (with digital camo pattern and marker lights)?
Also, I think the TRD Front Skid Plate and the red AFE front recovery Tow Hooks would add to the vehicle's personality.
Good suggestions! I'll have Tom come on respond himself!
I am looking to buy the 2024 Tacoma and whenever the redesign 4Runner comes out I’m pumped. But this siquioa is awesome.
It’s so hard to not want them all!
Beautiful
Amen!
beautiful.
Amen!
Great video, man.
Thank you! Had a lot of fun making this one.
nice color nice wheels !!!
Love the way Tom’s Sequoia looks. So tastefully built.
This looks good
It’s a sweeeeet rig
That color tho 🤤
I want to paint my K20 that color now. So tasty
Awesome car
Heck yeah it is
Beautiful rig thinking of getting rid of my voodoo blue tundra and getting a new sequoia
If you don’t need a “truck” then it seems like a no brainer!
Very nice Sequoia :)
I love what Tom has done with his Sequoia.
Man after my own heart......coming back from the range !
Tom is the coolest!
crazy this is sick ! but i know this is well over 100k
Depending on how you do it you can do it for less. It’s definitely beneficial when you’re one of the first to have a rig that companies want to use as a test platform for new gear.
90k truck and it won’t ever go through a mud puddle except for this video.
You obviously don’t follow mad yeti. He actually trails it.
Apparently you have never owned A sequoia $74,000 gets you a limited here in Montana. But thanks for sharing
I see this thing roll in , I push that like button :D
Thank you!!!
It was a lot of fun to film. Stoked you liked it.
Nice color
Isn’t it awesome!? Love the color Tom went with.
what are the wheel and tire set up? thanks! this thing is a beauty, too bad it’s kind of expensive for me to get the sequoia but I did get the pilot trailsport. I want that wheel set up lol, thanks!
He talks about it in the video. If I have time after editing later I might look back at what he said. Race you to it?
The third row and crazy cargo area/shelf, are the most complained about parts of the new sequoia. This is the first video I’ve seen so far with it taken out, and it wasn’t mentioned once! Wth. How’d you take it out? What did you do about the batteries in the floor?
They weren’t removed. The rear seats were just folded down. I hope no one buys one of these thinking they’ll have a large 3rd row + excess rear storage. It’s simply not big enough to accommodate that type of use. That’s what suburbans are for. There’s always trade offs.
@@dillansgarage The sequoia is more than big enough to accommodate a decent cargo space, The sequoia, despite being longer than a Yukon by 1 inch, it has 20 percent less cargo room. I don't think people want excess cargo room as so much, as not accepting worst in class cargo space in a vehicle that cost 70k .
@@mwsr2521 best way I can describe it is the walls are THICK on the Sequoia.
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
I would add a bumper with tow hooks and complete underbody skid plates if you haven’t already.
Not a bad idea!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
😎😎😎
This is awesome! Great video 🤘🏻
Thanks dude!! We should do a collab!
@@dillansgarage always 🫶🏻
Did this guy get fired after this?🤪 Too cooool!
I hope not! Haha
in Manual gears i thing it will be bring much more fun
Dang near impossible to find anything as a stick shift anymore
The best looking large suv. Would’ve bought it if it wasn’t the cargo space/3rd row.
Definitely a great looking truck!
I’m with you on that , I have a 2019 folds flat to the front seat . Don’t know what they were thinking:-(
@@mikekuczynski1552 I’m going to total opposite direction with my own vehicles. Until I win the lottery I’m only driving older trucks from now on, vehicles I can actually work on.
@@dillansgarage I’m a mechanic also that’s why I by Toyotas so I don’t have to work on them in my spare time
What is that color? Root beer?…Purple, with some brown hints? Amazing-got a 4Runner…would love to slap that paint on.
We need to know 😊. My guess would be a color Toyota calls “smoked mesquite” but I’m not sure.
@nicholasdupre6916 is right. It’s the Smoked Mesquite. Such a SEGSY color on that rig. 😍
Great vid and rig ! Not sure if i missed it, but is the Sequoia SR5 premium 4x4, too ?
Thank you! Yes exactly. Sr5 premium 4x4
@@dillansgarage just out of curiosity, where in So. Cal was that vid shot ?
@@steviehernandez158 It was in Temecula area.
@@dillansgarage in L.B. , those trails looked like they would be 2WD friendly! Have a Tacoma w rear differential locker. Think I’d be ok?
@@steviehernandez158 definitely would be fine with 2wd. Unfortunately it isn’t actually much of a trail. Just a dirt area next to a neighborhood.
I would’ve bought it if it wasn’t that awkward trunk. Now just waiting for Lexus GX
I meaaannnn. Id take a new GX or FJ over the sequoia
Prices went crazy for used ones recently.
Your right. It crazy what supply can demand can do. And some people actually pay it!
Where can I get this grill insert?
I asked Tom and he said they’re not available from his original source anymore. Gotta google it or maybe try direct form Toyota. The grill is a Toyota OEM TRD Pro grill.
Wish the back window went down like the older models
All good things come to an end eventually
That was a great feature. Used it to let the pooch stick his nose out in the massive cargo space area where he had plenty of room to stretch out.
4:28 - Q: how much is the output - A: brighter than the sun
☀️👀
@DillansGarage Great video overall. However there is a big miss at 20:43 where you talk about the exhaust but you completely fail to give us a good clip of the exhaust sound: Startup, idle, revs and some pulls.
Thanks for the feedback! Your right I’m always trying to balance run time with number of clips. So I just overlayed some exhaust sound under the dialogue. But it totally could’ve benefited from some dedicated clips to show the full range of sound.
@@dillansgarage Nice! Gives us a little taste of the exhaust note.
nice wish there was a opt for no 3rd row and opt for no sunroof
You must be tall. That, or you don’t like old leaking sunroofs?
@@dillansgarage .....or open sunshade /sunroof and see bottom of a roof top tent
Apparently back window does NOT go down 😢 deal breaker #why
It’s unfortunate. We show it in the video. It hinges up. But seems like the roll down days are over
need option you buy without hybrid
I think it’d be best with a carbureted gen iv 454
what paint color is this?
Smoked Mesquite
“Remember when I was the first to have it” 😂
Hey, I mean that’s pretty cool 😎
Very cool ride, unfortunately, the cargo area is terrible.
Agreed
Black out the chrome
That would look so good
What color is that?
Smoked Mesquite 🤤
where can i see the tent?
We open the tent at 13:34
@@dillansgarage ok thx
Soft Tex isn’t leather , it’s a high grade vinyl. Lexus puts it on their cars and SUV’s.
Correct, Tom mentions that in the interview too.
😍😍😍😍😍😍👍
That’s how I feel about it too!
So is this better than a 4Runner?
That’s a relative question. If you need something bigger than the 4Runner then yes. If you want better agility, then the 4Runner is “better”. Certainly this sequoia has better, newer, features inside.
How many pesos was this rig? Dayum!
Soooooo many pesos
They really cramped up the cargo space with that massive battery. Stuck that cooler in there and you're pretty much done lol. Kind of defeats the entire purpose of owning a vehicle that massive in the first place.
I guess they figured their demographic cared more about comfortable seats and extra leg room
@@dillansgarage What about the family dogs? They need an easy hop up with ample space to stand up, stretch out comfortably and a roll down window so they can stick their noses out for a sniff. 😥🐕🦺
@@roybatty- I agree man. It’s a beautiful rig and Tom loves it. Our family suv is a a 1988 suburban and we love it.
@@dillansgarage I got a gen 3 Sequoia and my chocolate lab adores it. One time he threw a runaway tantrum and he went all the way to the SUV and stood at the back waiting to hop in. Giving him an extra 8 inches of vertical jump or a lump of hybrid battery to negotiate would not be acceptable 😟
Sequoia is just a big rav 4 2020
Accept with more power, much more space, much larger interior space, and more capable offroad with bigger lift option. Sounds kinda like it’s actually very different from the rav4 unless you’re just talking about the design.
Third row seats fold down but not in.
Still a rad truck though. It’s hard to check every single box for every person
Man I was thinking to myself why does the suv looks average compared to him even though it’s lifted and got bigger tires. Then he says he’s 6’7 😂😂 like ooohhh make sense now.
When you’re next to his Sequoia it’s massive. Wayyy bigger than the video makes it look. Same deal with Tom haha. Dude is tall!
I’d have kept the $$ TRD wheels
Your tire sizes are limited with stock wheels. If you install fat tires on stock wheels your inner sidewalk will rub the upper control arm. You could use spacers but that’s not as good at getting wheels with the correct offset.
Wow so much storage in the rear. It’s like I don’t know, like maybe Toyota missed the mark on not being able to ditch the third row seats so one could actually put more cargo in a SUV . But if your just going to a 49’ers vs raiders game and plan on drinking bud light all day. It should be fine. Until you get in a knife fight.
What’s bud light?
Yeah you don’t see many of them because not many people have $80K+ to drop on a SUV. I can’t understand for the life of me how people afford vehicles these days. I have a good job and a cheap sedan is $30K or $350/mo. For a lease. Mind boggling how expensive cars are now a days
Inflation is a crazy thing. Prices will always go up. Used to be able to buy a brand new car for $2,000
@@dillansgarage Yeah and unfortunately for most, wages haven't increased at the same rate. I definitely see a lot of dealerships with fully stocked parking lots. Except Toyota's though. I think people realize if they "have" to pay to get a new car, why not get a brand that will get you 200K+ miles. Great video btw 👍
@@Gilly1013 100% dude. Wages never flow inflation the way they should. People want to charge more for products, but not pay employees more. I film weddings for a living and it’s hard to charge more over the years because people don’t want to pay it.
The guy on the right literally the same height as the sequoia that mf tall af
Haha Tom is a freaking tall dude
There is definitely wind and road noise, it's not a rolls royce. Calling BS on his review.
You’d be amazed how quiet it is in there! Can’t call BS when haven’t been it lol
Less rim would be good, if possible
I agree. I wonder if the brakes are too big for a smaller rim.
@@dillansgarage I thought that too, but those rims must be 20”
@@JeepCherokeeful yeah they’re huge
@@JeepCherokeeful I just went back through the video and they’re 18”. Which is bigger than I like, but not sooooooo big. I always like more sidewall
@@dillansgarage yeah, that must be the size I guess, just doesn’t look right
They are overpriced for what you get but look nice
I agree for the most part. I think the entire car industry is overpriced, and with Toyota’s I think you’re paying for the reliability instead of performance and features.
Still not full time 4 wheel drive, a deal breaker for me
Everyone has different needs! There’s a reason our daily’s are old Chevy trucks 😉
I'm sold, full kit.
Do it. The perfect product list is all right there
Это очень-очень дорого
Yes, very very expensive. But also very nice.
Nice truck but that sun roof. Wtf toyota, its not year 2000
😂 my 2013 Elantra GT had a full glass roof and it was epic. Sure would be cool for Toyota to join the club.
dodge ram front end
Hmmm. I don’t really see it when I look at them side by side. Maybe on some trims? It does closely resemble most current SUVs though. Hard to feel like anyone does anything different these days.
KCs are for American rigs. That rig needs to have PIIAs on that roof rack.
Why are KC’s for American rigs?
His voice sounds shaky lol
Now you’ll remember him forever!
@@dillansgarage lol yup. Great video though! 😊
@@Jen-es8cg Thank you! I had a lot of fun filming this one. I know his voice sounds a little shaky. Think he’s just not used to being on camera much. Super cool dude though.
Not bad to spend over 100k on an SUV. That's gonna get muddy, scratch and abused.
Exactly what is was purchased and built for!
Dude is way to big for this. Should have got a ram trx
@137adventures3 would probably agree haha.
Idk man, Tom says he fits fine in there. 🤷♂️ can’t speak for whoever sits in the back seat behind him though 😅
Yet another ‘overlander’ review video with a guy who didn’t put his own money in the build. It’s hard to take anything seriously when the ‘review’ is of products that were given to the guy. I learned this lesson the hard way 6-7 years ago when I first got into this. Expensive lesson to never trust these guys being pimped by product manufacturers. Caveat emptor.
It’s a shame so many people don’t offer true reviews even when sponsored. This video wasn’t meant to be a review, it’s just a rig tour showing off what gear he has on the Sequoia.
I like everything except the front grille. Hello Toyota, stop recycling old parts, get something innovative. This is the same reason the new Tundra was a disappointment. Learn from GM/GMC. Speaking as a Tundra loyal customer for 15yrs. Made the decision to jump ship over to GMC (2023 GMC AT4X AEV) after the new Tundra disappointment; waited years for that truck after multiple postponements from Toyota to facelift since last facelift in 2007. I literally saw my son grow from new born to 15yrs before Toyota decided to facelift the Tundra. This is unacceptable!
I appreciate your opinion. I really like the grille on the sequoia and don’t like where Chevy/GMC has gone with their design. I also wouldn’t compared Chevy and Toyota pickups. The tundra has never been a proper full size truck in terms of power. But hey, at least there’s something for everyone! Our daily drivers are an 06 4Runner and 88 suburban. I avoid all new vehicle haha
этот монитор с сенсорным экраном весь интерьер салона портит, охота его даже выломать...
What would you prefer to have instead of the big touch screen? It’s hard to get a nice car these days without a big screen.
в какие в ваши дни?@@dillansgarage
и не подскажешь заодно, почему в ваши дни я могу купить например механические часы или механическое пианино?@@dillansgarage
я бы предпочел, чтобы он в десять раз был поменьше и не сенсорный. А может даже чтобы вообще не было его, или он при желании убирался. И чтобы климат включить не нужно было целый день в нем разбираться, и пол часа по монитору пальцем возить. Мне нужен комфорт и безопасность за рулем, а не отвлекающий и слепящий меня в ночи монитор с перспективой вообще из-за руля меня выкинуть и виртуальный шлем на меня одеть.@@dillansgarage
@@bezputink I actually agree a lot of you points. It’s too much when you have to use the screen for every important and necessary task in the vehicle.
Good 👍 buy this instead of gay ford
The Broncos are very capable, but not a fan after riding in one.
timberline stupid name
You need to grow up, sir.
Agreed
Yes
this car is a waste of your money...
What would you get?
Funny how some people drop comments with no interest in a conversation lol
Most people don’t have what it takes to afford such toy and salty.
@@jml9550 Lol soooo many salty people.
@@dillansgarage yep, because they don’t have it and sour about it, instead of looking in the mirror.
