That TRD Pro looks awesome, like it was built to take a beating and still get the job done. Looks much better than the new Land Cruiser, in my opinion.
I feel like I have offended every Land Cruiser fan with my statement. Guys, Land Cruiser is a great car, I never said it wasn't. I just like this one more.
For families we need a sequoia xl! We need the seating but we also need that space behind the 3rd row. If it had that, I would buy it 100 times over a Yukon or Suburban
I highly doubt it, at around 8700 sold last year it doesn’t sell enough to warrant two lengths. Sharing the platform over 4 vehicles should help cut costs so maybe if it sell well enough in the next few years there might be a chance.
I am a dedicated GM fan. This will be my next vehicle. The sequoia has honestly been outperforming the Yukon and Suburban for years but it looked like a minivan. This update is what it needed. I'm all in on this one.
@@warriorplutotrent3827 Better over all quality, better longevity and reliability, same towing capacity, same mileage, same utility, better off road capability, cheaper price. Where do you think the suburban beats it?
I own a 2019 and love it. Already planning on getting the TRD Pro. The Sequoia is more than capable of competing with any of the full size American SUVs.

However, that rear shelf system and the elimination of the signature rear lift gate power window have removed a ton of functionality for the vehicle. Bad news for pet owners and folks who wish to haul long cargo. Why mess with a good thing??

@@stuartraydroge5021 Sequoia groups? Are you like 16? That has nothing to do with what I stated. Overall the 2023 Sequoia is a significantly better and improved vehicle in almost every aspect. You can cling on to your old Sequoia and "groups" as much as you want.
Love the this Sequoia, but don't understand why Toyota wouldn't make this a true full size SUV. The trunk space is no bigger than a 4Runner or Highlander with the 3rd seat in position.
I was seriously looking at the new GM Yukon Denali, but after reading the reviews and CR rating of 1 out of 5 reliability scale, it was DOA. I wouldn't pay 80K for a SUV for that rating. I don't think there is any comparison between this new Toyota Sequoia 2023 and the GM Tahoe or Yukon. Just wish that the new Sequoia got a little more trunk space.
As long as you don’t have dogs. The rear cargo area in this is a joke, this coming from someone with a 19 sequoia which 66 cubic ft of space with the third row down.
@@tommy516 I was soo diappointed when I saw this new Sequoia. They didn't give the numbers yet, but the spec of the 2023 model would be more similar to a land cruiser than Sequoia. The trunk space is a joke, with 2nd row doesn't slide. It compromises 3rd row passanger's leg room, which cuts in to the trunk space. The only reason people would pick this over a Tahoe, would be due to Toyota's reliability.
Unless you plan on keeping The vehicle passed 100,000 mi. I really wouldn't even worry about reliability scale because everything is covered under warranty , and that's why you pay for an extended warranty.
The fact that the rear seats don't fold down flat would be an issue for my dog jumping up into the rig. That cavity would catch his front legs and maybe trip him up to get all the way inside the cargo area...I'd have to bring him to the dealer to check this out first hand. Not really dealing with that issue on the Tahoe/Yukon because of the Independent Rear Suspension since the seat fold down position matches the floor. Hmmmm...something to consider I'd say
I just wish they made an extended model to compete with the suburban. Need more space behind the 3rd row. Love this redesign, just wish it would work for my needs 😭
Plus you get toyota`s reliability which is the biggest selling point.I`m hearing about ford explorer`s issues right after 2k miles and they charge 50k+ for that.
Funny, inside Toyota they don't even think this will come close to the volumes of the Tahoe/Yukon . . . but I think they are wrong. If they had the capacity, they could go toe to toe.
Absolutely love the TRD Pro version!!! I currently have a Palisade Calligraphy which is my price range for now. Hopefully I'll be able to upgrade in the upcoming years. Well done Toyota 👏
I just saw this at Barrett Jackson. It does look like a mash up between a Tundra and a Tahoe and an Expedition. With Toyota’s quality reputation I think Toyota will sell lots of these.
Both cars are very nice looking. Way better than any other three row. Telluride is close, but clearly not on the same level. I couldn’t imagine taking one of those off-road. They are HUGE
I love the looks of this vehicle. Everything from the exterior, the interior, and let’s not forget the fact that it’s TOYOTA, makes me love it even more. However, the previous generation could fit an adult comfortable in the third row, not as comfortable as an Expedition, but comfortable. The access to the third row was also easier. Other than that, beautiful suv.
@@hectorrivera6624 A minivan like the new Sienna costa like $20,000 less then this Sequoia and has a bigger trunk, more internal space and has better MPGS
Im a Toyota man because of quality and reliability, I just sold my 2003 Sequoia we’ve had since new, only complaint was when i had 7 adults and each one had a suitcase theres little room in the back for cargo space.Toyota designers should really consider a suburban sized Sequoia.
Interesting that Toyota chose to keep the Sequoia nameplate over the Land Cruiser. I feel like the land cruiser name holds so more weight and has a loyal following. I get that they couldn’t keep both vehicles since they sort of compete with each other, but now the Sequoia is now priced in Land cruiser territory. To me, they should’ve just called this the new Land Cruiser and get rid of the Sequoia nameplate
Toyota has kept both vehicles. The Land Cruiser still exists and a new one is being released, just not in North America. Naming it a Land Cruiser would not only be confusing, it would be inaccurate.
I said I wouldn’t buy a brand new Toyota because I didn’t like that design….. but holy crap this thing looks amazing! I would love to have one in jet black
I believe I love (nearly) everything about it, except the price. But why are not more people commenting on the third row seats that do not fold flat? For me this seems like a big issue. Maybe it means just having to see it in person.
It’s a major drawback. I’ve been driving Toyotas since the year 2000 and they are great. That doesn’t mean they are perfect. the placement of the Hybrid battery along with Hey solid rear axle appears to have severely compromised the rear cargo area.
Looks awesome. TRD FTW! I’m in market for this exact vehicle type and the new Sequoia is now at top of the top of my list. Can’t wait to see it in person.
That front grill looks ridiculous. That rear storage area would be very difficult to load something in ( like a chair, which I have put into my 2019, easily) and difficult for dogs to leap into. Those rear seats being higher like that would probably not allow a 6' teenager to sit comfortably.
I have this feeling it's going to be a waiting list of about a year, mostly the TRD Pro, but Toyota is going to have 4 trim levels, so pick and choose.
I agree. Most seem to be comparing both the third row and trunk space to s Suburban or Expedition Max just as they are comparing the Tundra to 3/4 an 1 ton competitors.
I have a 2005 Toyota Sequoia & been researching and decided to buy 2022 Armada. The rust issues of the frame scares me with Toyota Sequoia & Tundra. Toyota never addressed my issue.
serious competitor indeed, however, I have a lot of question regarding the "only hybrid" version available. I heard the spares aren't cheap compared to its competitors too.
I love the look of the new Sequoia, its great. I think it may be the best looking from the exterior of any of the large SUVs, to include offerings from Ford, Chevy, and the new Jeep. Though I think the Wagoneer has the best interior.
What’s more important in a large suv, the exterior looks or the cargo space??? Thiose raised third row seats are a ridiculous design. Absolutely stupid!
Agreed. Interior all the way with Cargo space & tech for all rows. I want real space, not make believe gotta rig space. Need all my passengers to be comfortable & really, I don't want to climb on top to store luggage on a roof rack or always have to use the hitch luggage carrier (then have to store it in the hotel room). Agreed about the Wagoneer despite not caring for the plastic faux wood trim.
You definitely made your cameraman work lol!! Always on the move haha. I currently have the Highlander. Only thing I don't like about this new Sequoia is the 3rd row and trunk. I think the Highlander does a better job with that part of the vehicle. Maybe we need a Sequoia xl??
TRD Pro could work for my Overland rig but I'd be paying big bucks for items I'd want to remove, like very nice but expensive leather seats. Sell or store i guess, one man does not make a market. I had forgotten just how much I enjoy your videos over the years. I better hit that bell. Great work, thanks!
I love the look of the new Tundra and Sequoia. Now if toyota would quickly resolve the turbo issue, and some of the other issues like mirror caps flying off, rear window seals, and the infotainment user and interface issues.
Was thinking the same thing about the appearance! It looks really good and I like it better than the GM suvs. Not a fan of the rear side windows and body lines on the Yukons or Tahoes
Toyota should have been made a extended length Sequoia long ago when they came out with the full size 1 especially now. Get with the times Toyota! Give The People What We Want!
Gorgeous, absolutely love the style, looks, and the asthetic, I would say it would be even more amazing if they didn’t price match the competition and beat there prices, now they’d make some money
The trunk space is significantly smaller than Tahoe or Yukon. With non-movable 2nd row seat, it really cuts into 3rd row leg space, when you go on a road trip with many luggages. The older the kids you trying to fit in the 3rd row, the more stuff they would want to take with them on a road trip. This car is offering less space overall than the previous generation.
Agree! Sad I waited to see what 2023 would bring as far as improvement 😞. I was excited about Hybrid, didn't realize so much space & flexibility would be compromised.
I On my second Yukon XL over 350k miles. I really like the looks of these two rigs. My first question concerns legroom when two tall people sit tandem in front and middle. hasn’t been acceptable in the past. I would also need hard selling to accept the 23” wheels. A lot of us have them out of our system and think the fatter tires and more comfort is the best. Tow rating? I could well be a serious buyer for this. I would like the benefits of something short enough to garage, etc. but with comfort and room for my tallest foursome and all our gear for a golf road trip. My 2014 Yukon was built as a rental with no screen in the center stack. Yet, the car has almost all the bells/whistles I want and they work very well. It would be great to have the Capstone or less at a price lots less than Lexus. So, you are very much on track. It doesn’t just look good, it looks great…… partly ‘cause the rear side could easily be a Chevy, but that’s ok.
Great looking vehicle. They will sell a ton. We just ordered another Sienna not because ours wore out (it’s a 2011 with only 212,000 miles and everything works) but because it just felt like it was time; and used 911 prices are still too high 🤣
Many people were saying Toyota was taking a risk making the new Sienna All -Hybrid . Now it is the top selling minivan. Are you getting yours with AWD?
@@rightlanehog3151 We went XLE FWD for less complexity and weight. The area we live in is mostly flat so AWD wasn’t necessary. The rear electric propulsion solution is interesting however. We looked at the Carnival but the wife preferred the Sienna and it’s her car. Also, we have had such good luck with Toyotas as daily drivers it’s hard to walk away from them. For myself I’m leaning towards a 2023 1SS 1LE with the LT2 and Tremec 6060 however 😁
@@steveo85 I live in Canada and I tow a small boat. Having traction to the rear wheels can make all the difference on a steep boat ramp (ask me how I found out). Snow tires are the biggest factor in winter traction but having some extra traction on both axles does not hurt either. The fact the new Sienna get nearly double the mpg in city driving compared to other minivans puts it in a league of its own. BTW I am deliberately ignoring the existence of the lease-at-your-own-risk Pacifica hybrid . 😉
@@rightlanehog3151 I used to run snow tires on a 330i three months out of the year and was never limited by its rwd. It is an amazing difference. If you’re towing

I love the look of the new Tundra and Sequoia. Now if toyota would quickly resolve the turbo issue, and some of the other issues like mirror caps flying off, rear window seals, and the infotainment user and interface issues.
Love it!
By all accounts, the CAPSTONE is, by far, waaaay better than the LX600. NO DOUBT!
Absolutely, I agree with you 100%.
Two very different vehicles. Drastically different in size. Think of this as the consumer version and the LC/LX the pro version.
Tfl and moto man in one place dope.
I’m in love !!!
Was thinking the same thing about the appearance! It looks really good and I like it better than the GM suvs. Not a fan of the rear side windows and body lines on the Yukons or Tahoes
Same here. This design looks a lot better than the GM suvs.
Toyota should have been made a extended length Sequoia long ago when they came out with the full size 1 especially now. Get with the times Toyota! Give The People What We Want!
Gorgeous, absolutely love the style, looks, and the asthetic, I would say it would be even more amazing if they didn’t price match the competition and beat there prices, now they’d make some money
The trunk space is significantly smaller than Tahoe or Yukon. With non-movable 2nd row seat, it really cuts into 3rd row leg space, when you go on a road trip with many luggages. The older the kids you trying to fit in the 3rd row, the more stuff they would want to take with them on a road trip. This car is offering less space overall than the previous generation.
Agree! Sad I waited to see what 2023 would bring as far as improvement 😞. I was excited about Hybrid, didn't realize so much space & flexibility would be compromised.
I'm predicting the TRD Pro will be very popular and this Sequoia will outsell what the old Sequoia, Land Cruiser 200, and LX570 used to do combined.
I On my second Yukon XL over 350k miles. I really like the looks of these two rigs. My first question concerns legroom when two tall people sit tandem in front and middle. hasn’t been acceptable in the past. I would also need hard selling to accept the 23” wheels. A lot of us have them out of our system and think the fatter tires and more comfort is the best. Tow rating? I could well be a serious buyer for this. I would like the benefits of something short enough to garage, etc. but with comfort and room for my tallest foursome and all our gear for a golf road trip. My 2014 Yukon was built as a rental with no screen in the center stack. Yet, the car has almost all the bells/whistles I want and they work very well. It would be great to have the Capstone or less at a price lots less than Lexus. So, you are very much on track. It doesn’t just look good, it looks great…… partly ‘cause the rear side could easily be a Chevy, but that’s ok.
Low profile tires are a no for me. They have too many tire issues
Replace with larger ones
I dont understand how I hate the new Tundra, but I absolutely LOVE this new Sequoia!
Great looking vehicle. They will sell a ton. We just ordered another Sienna not because ours wore out (it’s a 2011 with only 212,000 miles and everything works) but because it just felt like it was time; and used 911 prices are still too high 🤣
Many people were saying Toyota was taking a risk making the new Sienna All -Hybrid . Now it is the top selling minivan. Are you getting yours with AWD?
@@rightlanehog3151 We went XLE FWD for less complexity and weight. The area we live in is mostly flat so AWD wasn’t necessary. The rear electric propulsion solution is interesting however. We looked at the Carnival but the wife preferred the Sienna and it’s her car. Also, we have had such good luck with Toyotas as daily drivers it’s hard to walk away from them. For myself I’m leaning towards a 2023 1SS 1LE with the LT2 and Tremec 6060 however 😁
@@steveo85 I live in Canada and I tow a small boat. Having traction to the rear wheels can make all the difference on a steep boat ramp (ask me how I found out). Snow tires are the biggest factor in winter traction but having some extra traction on both axles does not hurt either. The fact the new Sienna get nearly double the mpg in city driving compared to other minivans puts it in a league of its own. BTW I am deliberately ignoring the existence of the lease-at-your-own-risk Pacifica hybrid . 😉
@@rightlanehog3151 I used to run snow tires on a 330i three months out of the year and was never limited by its rwd. It is an amazing difference. If you’re towing
In love with the new sequoia. The overall shape and more so the rear is almost reminiscent of the BMW x7
Does anybody know if you can remove the third row seats if you want to for more room storage
Center cap to center cap. Measure wheelbase in seconds. DUhhhhh
