    Yea it disappointing. Bigger yet small 3rd row… All that fancy things with the turbos complications and still getting the same mpg as a bullet proof v8 is quite dumb…
    Volkwagen Atlas, Cherokee L, Telluride,Palisades, Honda Pilot, Tahoe all have an edge on this if just drive normally and light trails or camping grounds..

    1 min 02 secs in, i never really understood why people would even think about mpgs when it comes to full size suvs. You want a great mpg, get a smaller car. That said, i prefer the expedition and navigator over sequoia. Not because of mpgs or anything else, i just like ford/lincoln over toyota

    I like the exterior and towing capacity. Interior is truck (Tundra) like and not a lot of room. I am not sure the hybrid side was a good idea considering the real-life MPG. If you need a lot more room, go with American brands.

    Toyota's in a bad way right now - coasting on their faultless reputation. They've apathetically phoned in the new Tundra, Sequoia, and next gen Tacoma. No innovation from this engineering giant...just lowest common denominator products with cheap materials and questionable build quality. As a customer, I'm not asking them to change the laws of physics, but *truly* innovative naturally aspirated drive trains, carved-from-solid-metal build quality, and forward thinking materials are not out of reach for Toyota. They can do better. I just traded my 2003 Tundra (a nearly legendary vehicle for Toyota) in on a different brand truck :(

    • @naveenthemachine

      I traded a new Wagoneer for the new Sequoia. The sequoia is less expensive compared to the Wag, its also less expensive than a new Tahoe or Escalade. The Toyota quality is there in this Sequoia. I absolutely love it and can see it being a 10 year vehicle for my family. The only thing I wish it had is a little more advanced auto driving. Towing, cameras, seating overall comfort is outstanding.

Innovation, reliability, material quality, build quality all down from previous Gen products. That said, it’s still a way better vehicle than anything from the big 3. Enjoy it…you’ll certainly get 10+ good years out of it.
