Fake v8 engine sound
In this comparison, the Sequoia does seem to offer more for the same money. But over the term of ownership, the GX will retain higher resale, will have a better dealer experience, and although 95% will never go, it is far superior offroad.
It still strikes me as odd that the Sequoia is so large on the outside, but small inside compared to its true competition of the Tahoe/Expedition/Wagoneer.
that's why they now have the grand highlander since that vehicle has more interior space than the sequoia overall except for width
Agree 100%. I test drove a sequoia TRD pro recently and was pretty disappointed with materials and NVH. I guess I’m spoiled from owning a new Navigator and new RX500, but I’m definitely holding out for the gx550.
@@grisa12345 haha speaking of the Sequoia TRD pro, I finally saw one that had the TRD roof rack. I saw 2 so far in total ever and both were in white, but the first time, the owner opted to take away the roof rack to get a pano roof
@@huanronghu4432 built different though. Unibody vs body on frame.
@@wowmawcwhat’s the difference?
The deal killer for the Sequoia is the third-row seats that don't fold flat so the extra space is a waste. Try putting your dog in it with that shelf and gaps. You are definitely correct on the dealer experience, especially in service. However, some Lexus dealerships are drifting away from a great purchasing experience with a dealership last month refusing to sell me a LX600 unless I financed it. I want a Toyota in a couple models, but after going into the dealership and trying to purchase, I have to leave and go take a shower. Finally, I trust the mechanics at Lexus much more with issues of wrong oil filters, etc at Toyota dealerships.
Sequoia trd pro is. joke over priced , 3rd /2nd row takes up to much space when folded , cant put in a slide out fridge in. a sequoia TRD pro , my pick is GX 550 over trail no 3rd row opt to delete the moonroof priced at $68150 with moon roof delete
This all matches with my experience between Lexus and Toyota as well.
There’s a simple shelf they provide you that makes the floor level with the folded down third row so you have all the space.
@@Charlie1821 we went and looked at it seats folded still takes up to much space going to look at the Lexus GX550 over trial
I have a Sequoia. But I'd pick the GX luxury + over the Capstone Sequoia
The GX’s full time four wheel drive vs the Sequoia’s part time system was my deciding factor.
Love it when you compare vehicles side by side . Hoping you do a 3 vehicle comparison
That was by far the most detailed side by side that I've ever seen... Great job :)
Thank you!
The only thing I wanted to know was how much smoother the ride is on the Sequoia with the air suspension set on comfort than the standard suspension
I like this head to head comparison. Good job guys
Lexus hands down on styling and customer experience at dealerships.
Right. Free snacks and water 👍
That's terrible case for the GX. It should be that it's the better vehicle.
How much time are you spending at the dealer?
You should’ve compared the Lexus LX to the Toyota, they are both very similar in sizes, the Toyota is a bit longer
We have done that already, it's in the channel if you want to check it out
Love the cars
I love my Sequoia. It’s perfect with my two small kids.
And it’s fast off the line. I can’t help but gun it all the time. I’m doing 0-60 in the mid 5s.
Kills my MPG 😂
I’ll take the Sequoia!
I've seen the sequoia on the road, and it looks really good, especially in white. I haven't seen the lexus in person yet, but that sequoia looks awesome. To bad that it's so expensive.
Idk this guy sounds very biased against the GX I think the interior was far bettter and refined
Great comparison
Thanks!
Great video guys. I was wondering if you guys can do a comparison between the Lexus TX and the Lexus LX since the TX inside is bigger than the LX, and the LX is only bigger on the outside and on price.
Thanks! That's a comparison we are thinking about doing in the future 👍
should have 5 points off for the rear storage area in sequoia, its so bad with the different levels
I’ll pick the Lexus GX
GX 550 PREMIUM base model for 64k seems to be the best value of the 2. You still get leather type interior where as the Sequia at that price is a basic SR5 with cloth seats. Also, the sequia at the GX base price is just 2wd. That being said, I still like our 2022 Duramax diesel suburban better for road trips.
I had 2 straight Sequoias and loved them. Then the current Gen came out and they made it less versatlle (cramped 3rd row and poor cargo storage) and they made the ride less smooth than before. I drove many large crossovers and full size SUVs and bought my first GM ever...a Tahoe. I got the LT Trim with luxury package and the ride is amazing smooth and the cargo/3rd row area is a lot like the Gen 2 Sequoia.
Have you guys done a Tahoe vs Sequoia comparison?
Yeah just search up Tahoe vs Sequoia
Yep, we have a comparison on the channel now 👍
Sequoia for me too please!! 🎉 looking for more room, rugged feel, and better on gas$!!
Seems like the a closer comparison would be the gx550 to the new upcoming Land Cruiser. The Sequoia seems closer to the gx600.
The GX is an all round great car. Sequoia's bigger space is not well utilized. You can't move the second row seat back and forth, which is kinda a big deal. However, the fact that it has a better fuel economy and acceleration than the Lexus, it still makes it a great choice.
The GX is better than any other Toyota and Lexus SUV right now. It is a complete package and well put together for both offroad, refinement, ruggedness, shopping, picking up kids from school and overlanding. The next is the new Land Cruiser
yet horrible mpg
@@Quinton0520 still best
Can you compare the LC 200 to the GX 550?
It is quite not clear how you expressed ride qualities of the 2 cars. I know Sequoias to be more bodyrolling ride. But I was really looking forward to GX.. how was it? Is it stiffer than Sequoias or bodyrolling like same or relatively more bodyrolling in its segment
They both have plenty of body roll but GX rides better overall
This might be the best example that sometimes why metrics and points don't paint the full picture. I ordered and canceled on a sequoia trd pro last year, and now patiently waiting for my gx550 overtrail+. It's probably priced almost identical, but I think sequoia and GX are appealing to completely different group of people.
yes the sequoia is more 3 row luxury family school bus , id go for the GX 550 over trail is more utilitarian no 3rd row opt to delete the moon roof
The GX550 trailers 9,094 lbs with the Overtrail 18 inch wheels & tires and rides better than those worthless 22s you have on it. My guess the hybrid GX will have the 4 cylinder and only trailer 6,000 lbs so I just bought a white GX550 Overtrail with factory rockrails, full factory roof rack. The are very hard to get and 340 people were on the wait list at the dealer I checked with.
I think it would’ve been more fair to compare the hex to the grand highlander, they’re both midsize SUVs
I like Alexis and Toyota but Lexus you got to pay for everything in the trim. Levels are confusing Toyota I would go for Toyota because there are trim levels is not really that confusing but Lexus that your levels are really confused so I would go for the capstone over the luxury plus
Good review but one thing you didn’t show was the folding third seats. I know this to be the case with the TRD and I believe with the Capstone as well, the third row doesn’t fold flat. Which means you don’t get the extra cargo space. This is a deal breaker for me on the Sequoia, partially because it’s so annoying to not have that extra space. This is worth 5 points easily to me in your scoring system.
While annoying, it doesn't take away from the fact that the GX still has less overall space than the Sequoia
The lack of a second row bench seat and the black and white interior being the only option on the Capstone is a huge miss...and why I'd never buy the Sequoia
I don't know why the GX550 doesn't get the more powerful hybrid powertrain now~ I hope that you are correct that they will add it later. That plus the overtrail trim will be amazing.
Great review , but i think toyota sequoia should have added messaging seats, and I just bought toyota sequoia cause of it looks and power , thanks for making the review
Thank you!
I so wanted a Sequoia till they showed it off with that horrible back cargo area with the uneven floor. The stupid placement of the batteries which doesnt allow you to move the second row seats. Both of which you failed to mention. And the fact its basically a turndra from the second row forward.
Not to mention that the sequoia has been a pain to find so most dealers are overcharging for them...up into the 100k range.
So now with the 2 row version of the Gx having much better room, no batteries to deal with long term, and a much more modern and unique look....ill be going GX.
I will take them both, GX for daily driver and SE for weekends haha
Major let down by the lack of leather on the dash of the Lexus. Great car but they really need to improve that
The interior looks incredibly cheap also
For off-road purposes it’s a plus to have no leather. As a primary luxury vehicle I would have to agree.
@@FoundationLeatherCo. I grew up in Africa and we had land cruisers and Land Rovers for off-roading. A very comfortable interior with leather was always a plus. I especially liked the leather interior of the Land Rovers which Land Cruiser has caught up on. This is a Lexus as well, it needs a premier looking dash. the layout of the dash is fine but it needs more premium materials.
If I were to get one it would be the off-road version however I think the Toyota is hampered in terms of payload due to not having a non hybrid engine but I do like the more towing capability of the Toyota
Does gx550 luxury have child car seat latch on 3rd row?
GX must have a hybrid system too , I'll be waiting for the next GX hybrid, whiches would be. More Elegant, and a little sizeable, larger likely, like Toyota Sekoya!..
It would’ve been better if the GX was a sequoia based suv instead of the Prado
So why not use the LX 600 which is the larger vehicle? The two are completely different for a comparison.
The LX600 is not bigger than the Sequoia on the outside and it's smaller than both on the inside. You should watch their comparison between the Sequoia vs lx600
@@huanronghu4432 I meant in regard to the GX but I’ll def check it out.
You can compare anything with anything. The prices are similar between the GX 550 and the Sequoia. Many more people can afford these vehicles than an LX600
Comparable LX600 is $30k more
@@Countchothey are charging way more for the sequoia with the current mark ups
TRD PRO vs Overtrail Plus comparison PLEASE1
GX550 over trail , no 3 rd row . opt to delete the moon roof, more utilitarian for us car campers -overlanders , room for our dog crates TRD PRO is way over priced , 3rd row takes up to more cargo space when folded down TRD PRO Sequoia its more of. a 3 row luxury Family school bus
Yes, please compare these two. This is the real test if you’re getting a body on frame that would be nice to get your thoughts on.
Roominess, daily tasks driving: Toyota Sequoia
Class, Luxury & off-road prowess: Lexus GX550.
Personally I’d prefer the Lexus, it’s more desirable especially if it is for personal ride, but happy with either one.
Premium gas vs regular unleaded
I am looking to buy a Hyundai Tucson should I buy the 2022 sel or go for the 2023 and put in an extra 2-3k what I don’t know is if worth it or should I just get the 2022
I love the Lexus gx. I wish they would give us more luxury. Just a bit more
I think I'd go for the Lexus just for its off-road capabilities. Eventually, everything that seems luxurious in cars now, will be pretty standard in the near future, but what can't be so easily replaced is off-road capability. Imagine having a well-running 20 year old Lexus rock crawler.
Besides the repeated criticism of the poorly designed 3rd row and cargo area of the Sequoia, offering a basic 4wd system in a brand new redesign vs a much easier to use awd system of the GX is a massive oversight with the target audience.
Which one do you want ? me I like the utilitarian cargo space for car camping /overlanding in the GX550 and no 3rd row opt to delete the 3rd row
Please compare Lexus GX with Defender 90
if you want 25 year longevity and 381 hp v8 , try to purchase a land cruiser 2019 t0 2022 w low mileage.every month I get letters from Toyota dealers to buy my 200 series LC.
Very good video. Clearly the Toyota is the better buy.
Thank you!
lol you left out the 20k markup for the Sequoia at every toyota dealer
yes but the GX550 will be a long wait
2024 Sequoia because of the best interior layout and interior space for the same price.
sequioa or landcruiser or ineos grenadier is a tough one but toyota most reliable
My parent is getting a 2024 Lexus TX 350 Premium for 65k
Where is the big Lexus LX - Toyo Land Cruiser replacement? What are the ridiculous small new 2024 models ?
I would take the Sequoia if it had a fold flat back seat. That’s a deal breaker for me.
same here but sequoia , cost to much and not that usable cargo space with 3rd row seat fold down , id got GX550 overtrail no 3rd row and opt to delete the moon roof , lot less than the sequoia TRD PRO or capstone they are just to much 3row luxury family school bus
Wouldn't a better comparison be between the sequoia and the lx600?
He already posted it
Uh no he’s not doing a Sequoia and the LX600. He’s doing a Sequoia and a GX550 no SEQUOIA and LX600 cause I guess he already did that
@@aa2plays584when did he do that the SEQUOIA and the LX600?
@@user-cp1qh9jv6c you just gotta go on their page and search sequoia vs LX600
@@user-cp1qh9jv6c I couldn't find that video
One has full-time 4wd, and has no complex additional hybrid system - Lexus wins as far as I'm concerned.
Is there a way to get rid of the 3rd row in the sequoia/
have to try to remove them but than the 2 row folded down still takes up cargo space
Yes....take it out LOL?
@@Rancejunge and do what with them ?
I dont like the size of the new GX. It grew substantially over the outgoing model. This sucks because the midsize truck from Lexus is basically dead. The new GX is an LX in a different trim
I pick the GX
GX550
I'll take the 2024 Nissan Armada because of the naturally aspirated 5.6 V8 engine.I keep cars usually 😮 past the warrenty. Otherwise I liked the Chevy Tahoe V8. But with the fuel management GM v8 engines (cylinder deactivation) l wouldn't to own one past the warranty either.
What's worse? Toyota twin turbocharger or Gm cylinder deactivation?
I'll appreciate any recommendations.
You didn't show all of the trunk space with the seats folded down
You guys should have the GX and Sequoia next to the new GMC Acadia.
The Acadia as a Denali is $20,000 less than both of these and the inside and out is way more LUXURIOUS! The GMC Acadia is larger, which means it has more room and the interior will blow you away and make you question how either of these vehicles are priced at $80,000.
I still can’t wrap my head around how much better the GMC looks and how bad it makes these look🤷♂️
The difference is the Acadia will be on a tow truck at 50k miles and the GX and Sequoia will be on the road still at 100k
@@BID4882Until these are on the road for a few years, you have no idea how reliable they're going to be.
Exactly. The 2025 Tahoe will blow away the Sequoia on every metric.
The Acadia would be more comparable to the Lexus TX.
Keep shouting from the ramparts about GM cars but no one cares or covets. Toyota products sells whatever they make off the lots.
Sequoia is not on par with lexus quality but does look a heck of lot better
Sequoia 🎉
plus = Soild rear axle both , sequoia better looking grille than the tundra , shorter wheel base on the GX550 ,over trial has no 3rd row and opt to delete the moon roof , lower price , minus = sequoia 3rd row /2nd row takes up tp much cargo space when folded, over priced , to heavy , moon roof std on all sequoia trim levels , price id go with the GX550 overtrail just a long wait for one
They need to tuck the rear wiper that is so old style
SEQUOIA 10.5
GX550 3.5. I’m going with the SEQUOIA route and I’m a 50 50 for the GX550 from LEXUS
gx 550 for off road !
yes more usable cargo space ,GX550 overtrail base model no 3rd row opt to delete the moon roof, over the sequoia /TRD PRO more of a 3 row luxury family school bus ,3rd row 2nd row take up top much cargo space
Yeah either one ☝️ of these suvs you can only buy one ☝️ of them
Wrong comparison. Needs to compare with land cruiser
I’d honestly get a Grand Highlander over both of these, great video!😸
Doesn’t matter how small it is still the same price as bigger suv that’s ridiculous!
2nd row leg room is just mid in Lexus, that's my only concern.
Otherwise Lexus was a no brainer. 🤔
sequoia = tundra w/climate control camper shell and 3rd row seating
Sequoia: bigger, stronger, faster, fuel efficient, sunroof, towing.
Honestly sequoia not worth it now that we have tx and grand highlander. The gh and tx are bigger and are cheaper the only good thing reallt about the sequoia is the power train and a bit better tech
And the towing capability since it still tows 500 lbs more than the updated GX numbers
A LOADED Tahoe at 12k less, should be "your goal" - Better ride, better overall selection more amenities, 8k towing capacity better looking. DONE>
gx 🤝
The Toyota Sequoia.
sequoya is assembled in the USA, gx in Japan. End of discussion;)
Sounds to me like fake engine noise when asselerating.
Hey guys it’s me again and I’m in the market for the new 2024 3-row Santa Fe, I want to maybe just see a family rivalry between the Palisade and the 3-row Santa Fe to finalize my decision.
Depends on your usage and preference on design. The Palisade will offer more passenger room and cargo, although not by much and the Santa Fe offers a bit more rugged capability, and I believe wireless Apple Carplay/AA, although i am not sure if the Palisade has that feature or not.
Lexus all day long!! Not even close on the fit and finish 😅
I’m taking the LX 600
Dang, GX got spanked. Surprising.
No this was unreasonable
How so? The GX tows the same, like better, better warranty, better quality, EKDSS suspension which is better off road and on. Better 22 speakers sound system, massage seats, cool box fire drinks, multi terrain select.
You're supposed to compare it to the LX
We have already done that too 👍
Gx 550 is way better! It goes the same in overtrail model.
Probably the sequoia.
GX premium
The new GX looks like a Geep there's no luxury look to it I'll keep my 2023 luxury GX
Sequoia
Toyota, better fuel economy, more space
Toyota is wayyy better! I just dont see luxury in a lexus!
Esta mas lujosa la Sequoia que la misma Lexus 😂 increíble la contradicción de Toyota
That Toyota is no joke ! But I prefer the look of Lexus ! And remember what Tupac said ! You said you had a Lexus what’s next she’s heading to your car for some ……
