Yukon looks better inside and out. But That Toyota is a fail for third row roominess and luggage compartment. That engineer for Toyota should be fired.
You’re UNREAL. I mean are you really that dense that you believe if you can’t afford something then _nobody_ in America can? Lol. Do y’all have friends or family members that call you to check on you, ever?? Sounds like not being able to afford a massive premium/luxury SUV is the end of a world y’all used to know. Like wtf. Only in America would your comment even get upvotes. 🙄🤡
@radajamesjavelosa Even for the TTV6 Hybrid, it doesn't hurt to wait a couple of years for the bugs to come out. The Sequoia is a perfect family hauler for me as I do go off road quite often with my kids. My current cars are fine, but both are nowhere near as rugged as the Sequoia.
Toyota punps in the sound hoping you'll forget about the denali that actually has a big v8. The denali is truly an upscale luxury vehicle so they intentionally keep their engines quiet enough that it won't annoy you but you know it is there when you really get on it. We drive a denali and we always look for one on turo when traveling.
Toyota blew it by not making second row seats that slide, by ruining 3rd row legroom, and by making a useless cargo area…all so they could replace the V8 with a V6 hybrid. GM hasn’t walked into that trap yet, which is what makes the Yukon the clear winner here.
Nothing wrong with the Sequoia... but the Yukon outclasses it in almost every way except towing. And it should be noted that the Yukon is getting a much bigger and improved infotainment screen (same one in the new Acadia) for 2025. I'd definitely take the Yukon over the Sequoia... but since I can't afford either 🤷♂
I like both. The thing with the Toyota is the issue with the third seat being in the way bs the Yukon being hidden away. The Toy could also use a bit more altitude.
The 20K premium that GMC wants for the Ultimate version over the Denali is insane. Vadar chrome grill, upgraded leather and an upgraded sound system doesn't do it for me for that markup.
Y’all are always wanting to count *gm’s* pockets & their profit margins trying to determine what something’s worth is just from looking at it. That’s not how this works. You can’t tell how much development costs are just from looking at something. You intentionally left out the fact the sound system is a serious upgrade with speakers built into the seats & roof which costs money. You left out the fact it comes standard with Supercruise (worth $3k alone), massaging seats, and much more expensive leather and stitching throughout the interior. Also the attention to detail in the D. Ultimate as the regular Denali doesn’t have laser etched woods or topographical maps embedded into the leather. That kind of attention to detail costs money.
@@G-Rated I didn't "leave out" the audio system upgrade. The audio system upgrade goes from 14 to 18 speakers, due to the headrest speakers. You can no longer get the 3K super cruise upgrade on the standard Denali without GMC adding another 3K in upgrades for a total of 6K in mandatory upgrades. The laser-etched leather and real woods still don't add up to 20K for me with the audio, radar chrome and massaging seats (which evidently are a better constructed seat as well - why not give a more comfortable seat to ALL Yukon buyers?). I've been driving GM trucks since 1981 as daily drivers. Two K-Blazers and a Yukon that today has 365K miles on the same engine and transmission. I have no reason to look elsewhere unless I feel that GMC is picking my pocket. They have with this Ultimate version of the Yukon.
@@ktpinnacle You’re all over the place. The attention to detail and craftsmanship found in the D. Ultimate interiors you can’t put a price cap on because you have no clue how much of a premium GMC paid for the more expensive materials used throughout the whole truck. It’s expensive adding speaker systems into seating with fancy authentic metal grilles. That costs money. Real leather isn’t cheap either, that’s why luxury brands like Mercedes use faux leather called “MBTex” because real leather is so expensive. GMC went above/beyond by having their real leather engraved with topographical maps of Mount. Denali, the extra detailing throughout comes at an additional costs as well or else everyone selling a SUV in this segment would have it. That’s just _most_ of the interior. D. Ultimate also comes standard with air suspension, a bespoke chrome finish, and a unique set of intricately designed 22-inch wheels. Certainly reasonable to suspect at least $15k in upgrades here.

I have the sequoia TRD pro……… STOP it’s a beauty of a drive Zero problems we traded our Mazda CX90 for it. If you have more than 2 kids move on period. Other than that Zero complaints she a Beauty
As someone who owned a 1st gen sequoia for many years, it’s sad to see how they handled the 3rd row with this new gen. I would’ve loved to get into a newer sequoia but that compromise makes it a hard sell vs competitors. I do think the seats and ergonomics are better on the sequoia’s interior tho. Yukon wins on styling too imo, those seats are just so flat and uncomfy
I have a real question for Sequoia Q:this V6 3.5L engine capacity how is provide the 437HP? Is t that real engine capacity long years duration like legends Toyota engines?
I have owned both products, and I’d expect the Toyota to be far more reliable, especially with the recent Toyota engine recall being addressed in a what’s seems an exemplary manner. However, the Yukon despite its perceived lesser reliability, is by far a better product from an everyday use perspective. Toyota dropped the ball on that third row and behind third row storage.
Toyota has come a long way with the sequoia, though I can't get use to the exteria,. I still think they could have made it more luxurious. To me, I think the GMC looks better in and out, so I'll take the GMC.
Yukon maybe more appealing from comfort and family hauling perspective, but the biggest win for Toyota is it's hybrid powertrain. If the Engine bearing issue doesn't seep into the Sequoia V6's then it will make people like me who are looking for a full size suv think harder. Fingers crossed!!
I’ll take the Yukon. I knew the sequoia would be the biggest catastrophe to date and I’m so glad it turned out that way 😂😁 So where’s your acknowledgment that naveen was right and that you should have listened?
@@J.W.W. they’re ignoring me because they can’t believe how lackluster Toyota is and they can’t fathom how painfully accurate my comments are. People like you are saying things like this as a way to hide the truth that you can’t believe I was right. All of you attack me when you realize that I was right but are afraid to admit that just so your ego isn’t destroyed
The gmc is a far better choice than Toyota, and toyota is having major problems with the 6 cylinder, and the gmc has different engine choices too ! The ride quality is far better too
Well it's too bad you can't compare the Yukon to the real Toyota land cruiser. That said I would love to have a comparison of these two vehicles in 10 years because that's really where Toyota shines. But I would like them to do better with luxury and features.
Oh yeah, that Sequoia works nicely until that turbo and/or that hybrid battery goes then it becomes a lawn ornament. Oh btw, the battery costs about $6K to replace and the turbocharger costs about $6,500.00. Toyota says the turbo will run between 100/125,000 miles and the battery should last about 150,000 miles but seeing as manufacturers lie all the damn time, I suspect those numbers are a lot lower. They'll just band-aid fix the problems until the truck is out of warranty and then it's "Oh your battery died? whaaat? Your turbo died and you have no power upon acceleration? OOOh, I'm sorry, it seems your warranty has expired. Unfortunately, you'll have to cover the cost out of pocket, F**K YOU, PAY ME!!!!
All Toyota's that adopted the new engine platform is junk, they have so many problems now the mechanics are backed up in fixing them and no loaner cars to give out, I know 3 customers of mine they still haven't gotten there trucks back yet and it's been over a month
The one real advantage for the Toyota is its looks. Out on the road in real life, it surprisingly looks very good compared to the Yukon which looks “meh”. I also think the interior design is better in the Toyota but it does not look as premium as the GMC.
Really? 2024 GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate XL compare to Toyota Sequoia? You have to compare GMC Yukon to: 1. 2025 Ford Expedition 5th generation 2. Chevrolet Tahoe 3. 2025 Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS600 4Matic 4. Jeep Grand Wagoneer 5. 2025 Cadillac Escalade V 6. 2025 BMW X7 Alpina XB7 XDrive40i
1.) This isn't the XL, and 2.) they are absolutely comparable. Google Yukon vs. Sequoia and you're going to see hundreds of articles. The ones you list are good comps too of course, but why would you exclude the Sequoia?
Most US cars like ford GMC have so many problems and don’t last more than 200K miles. Toyotas last for 300-350K easily and so will the sequoia. Would love to see a 100K, 200K Owner review to see which one comes out ahead
Toyota has issued recalls for various reasons. But recalls, while unpleasant, are good - it shows the manufacturer is willing to fix issues. Toyota has a stellar reputation for reliability - they’re not going to tarnish that.
Exactly. Gmc recalled it's 6.2s for main bearing problems and they are getting slammed for doing so while Toyota is getting cheered on and on...pathetic.
That 3rd seat in the Sequoia is Brutal!!
Yukon looks better inside and out. But That Toyota is a fail for third row roominess and luggage compartment. That engineer for Toyota should be fired.
See how high his knees were in that Sequoia?
The point of getting these big suvs is for space in third row and behind and the sequoia just is ridiculous for that part.
100% dealbreaker. Should offer a v8 NA
I’d love to know where people get the money for these things. Unreal
Right??

Not just that but these are thirsty for gas like around $100/week
How does the back of the GMC look cheaper? Lines look better and the wiper is tucked up where you can’t even see it.
The GMC will never be as reliable as the Toyota.
Yukon has better resale value actually one of the best in North America across the board
I like the Sequoia more, but I wouldn't consider one until Toyota fix the engine issues first.
The problem in Tundra v6 not hybrid vs.
@radajamesjavelosa Even for the TTV6 Hybrid, it doesn't hurt to wait a couple of years for the bugs to come out. The Sequoia is a perfect family hauler for me as I do go off road quite often with my kids. My current cars are fine, but both are nowhere near as rugged as the Sequoia.
That sequoia is more in line with the 2015-2020 Tahoe/yukon
While the 2021+ Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade is more in line with the Sequoia (at least legroom and cargo room, but not headroom)
No one can beat Americans in large SUV games.
The Yukon is 100% a way better product. Sequoia is a funky looking car that's huge on the outside but lacks flexibility with space on the inside.
I love my 5.7 V8 Sequoia!!
For as much as I am biased towards Toyota, this time I would go GMC. Thanks for an excellent comparison.
That sequoia looks awesome. 👌

Yukon. Toyota screwed up the sequoia and the one thing that made it stand out, reliability, is gone unless they work out that hybrid engine.
The hybrid engine is not the problem it's the non hybrid engines.
Toyota is more reliable

The Toyota looks better but the GM feels upscale. I prefer the Yukon.
I want to like the Toyota but if I had the $$$ I would get that V8 and the Yukon.
Yukon is better almost all around. The Sequoia is a dud. They need to refresh/redesign the Sequoia ASAP.
They won’t. The sequoia is history. It’s been ostensibly discontinued
Yukon. With the last gen sequoia, it had reliability. This one has been having issues.
Lies
The Sequoia is still way more reliable than the Yukon.
@@atg1338 research. They've been having engine and transmission issues along with the tundra.
Even the previous gen had a few issues when first released ............. reliability doesn't mean it doesn't lack issues u know........
@@jessicapage2218 you trolls never stop

You should buy the one that will last over 400k and beyond
my 2005 Sequoia has 434000, so I bought a 2024 model and I love it.
Base Yukon with 3.0 liter straight 6 diesel
Compare the Yukon Denali with the Cadillac Escalade
Anyone know what watch he wearing?
Great review by one of my favorite car reviewers. I agree - Yukon all day long.
GMC Yukon is just a class above.
you a damm lie poor people buy theses
Sequoia definitely but 2025 onwards. Same with any "all new" 2-3 years out, let em fix and sort out shit first.
give me the denali. I'll delete the DOD system & ride that shit for 350k miles. Parts for that engine are everywhere
The 20K premium that GMC wants for the Ultimate version over the Denali is insane. Vadar chrome grill, upgraded leather and an upgraded sound system doesn't do it for me for that markup.
Then s t f u and don't buy it... duh... You probably can't afford it anyways

Because the new Tundra v6 NON HYBRID are failing and somehow that means these Hybrid only Sequoias are failing too. 🤷🏽♂️
