Great video Doug! And also great review

sequoia gets comfier when it’s fully loaded. because of how heavy it tows, the suspension is significantly stiffer to take on the the heavy weight. so when it’s under pressure is where it really settles in and becomes comfy. also the TRD PRO has stiffer side walls and off-road tires generally make a car feel slightly stiffer. if you are looking for comfort you should probably try the limited or platinum with no more than 20” wheels. it’s the way to go. also, the trd pros need at least 3000 miles till the suspension gets run in and gives you its max comfort

Very sharp vehicle, I was let down when I actually saw it and drove it over 150 miles.

I just bought a white Tacoma and have owned more Toyotas than anything else over the years and Toyota has never failed me. We traded in our 2008 Highlander with almost 300K miles for the Tacoma because we're at a later change in life. Our son is an adult and our daughter is driving her own car, we really don't need a third row... or even the second much, but we like hauling kayaks and stuff. As life goes, your needs change and I think you made the right choice for this stage in life. When it comes to reliability, Toyota remains the best choice.

Way to go Doug! That is a beast of a Sequoia.. Time to hit some trails on Arizona, if your ever in the valley with this sweet ride, recommend hitting Hwy 87 to Strawberry, AZ amazing forest roads, beautiful drive vs everyone else who hits Sedona.

It takes spectacularly bad taste to buy a car like this

You made a great choice ! I wanted one so bad but ultimately settled on a new Suburban high Country Deluxe last year. We had the similar requirements but we also tow a rv and wanted range while towing and the duramax delivered that on top of that we are a large family of 8 and frankly need the long wheel base. In 2025 we will finally be able to get a z71 with the duramax. Might be a better option for both of us then. Super cruise air ride suspension over 700 miles of range is fantastic

I have the exact same car and color! Sort out to get it. One thing I am struggling with is the lane keep ability at 70 mph on curvy highways. It somehow doesn't seem to hold well. But otherwise love the car and it feels soo good to see this review.

I'm surprised he didn't consider the Lexus GX. It's essentially a Toyota, three rows, arguably looks better, has a better interior, and not too far off in size to the last gen full-size Land Cruiser Doug just sold. I also suspect it will retain more of its value than a Sequoia over time as well.

Bad product planning decision from Lexus. (After driving the new GX I'm especially confident in my decision -- the third row is tiny and frankly the ride quality isn't much better than the Sequoia's.)

I've loved mine. I just came off a 3 year lease and bought it.

Love it. I grew up with an ‘03, however the trunk space with the third row up is abysmal. A Grand Highlander or many other mid size SUV’s offer more space. Come on Toyota!

Ain’t no other way around it with the hybrid drive system in the back

Having better room makes sense as the grand highlander is unibody

So, the Sienna is the better Toyota for you, but you are ready to give it all up to go off-road once per year? Now that’s commitment !

I have vary similar use cases, but 5 kids. I picked aj Audi sq7 4 years ago and still in love with it. My summer commute is shorter, normally betwenn 1.700-2.500 km per direction. One stop.

Falken Wildpeaks are easily my favorite all terrain tires right now. Had a boss put them on our work pickup close to 6 years ago and now they're what i run on my personal vehicles. Nice ride on dry surfaces and great traction on snow and ice, especially for being all seasons and not snow tires

I like the camo design on the fenders and half the time you hardly ever notice it on the road whenever you see a Sequoia TRD Pro.

Congratulations my brother, I am very proud of your choice of SUV's.

We love our 2023 Sequoia! We call it the Beast, we have a Thule roof rack and bike rack. We have driven from TX to both Coasts, pushing 30K miles in 1 year.

16:12 The right side gauges show engine oil temperature and transmission oil temperature. Default bottom gauges are engine oil pressure and engine coolant temperature.

It happened! I remember the tweet asking about best full size off roader

I’m watching this video while doing a cross country road trip in a Rivian 😂. I’m loving it by the way, yeah, it does add more time, but the brakes are good.. Also found a really good fish taco place in Cali because of stoping to charge.

You’re not wrong about the Nissan Armada remark, in fact you’re dead on. I bought a brand new Toyota Sequoia back in 2004, and my neighbors immediately went out and bought a brand new Armada because of me 😂

Nah for real, my grandparents had a Sequoia and after they sold it my aunt got an Armada 😅

I knew Doug was going to buy the Sequoia. I just pray he doesn't sell it after 2 years like the defender and also hope he does lots of off-road videos with it. It'd be cool to see him do it like he never did in the defender 110.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂

Congratulations doug🎉

Doug, we bought a 24 Acura Integra for our Snowbird escape from Minnesota. Safety tech and 23 NACTOY winner for wife and 6 speed manual gearbox for me.

I drove a 23 Tundra for a couple weeks last year and absolutely loved it. That Toyota 14" infotainment was a treat to use, worked very well for me. Loved the torque of the powertrain, especially on the highway. Was clearly much more refined than my 2013 Tundra. I prefer the V8 for regular driving and the space of the last gen Tundra/Sequoia but the newer features were very nice. It's a damn shame they left the roll down rear window off the Sequoia. These SUVs look killer when you add the Wescott Designs leveling kit and some bigger tires/wheels. Toyota rarely wows with standard features and point by point reviews, because they just don't care about them. They're giving you a product that is comparable with it's peers that is going to cost less to own and be reliable. Never the sexiest choice but often the right choice...

Who else gets excited when Doug buys a new Car & reviews it? Doug’s excitement is on a different level!

I didn't expect this, but Congrats Doug!

It would be cool if on some of the "higher end" vehicles you talk about you toss in something about what kind of stereo it has from the factory. Most car companies are finally offering some pretty nice 3rd party (Bose, Harman Karden etc.) as an upgraded OEM piece of equipment. And some of the car companies have gone "crazy". Like Mercedes Benz S-Class now have a top of the line stereo with 32-34 speakers in it. Yep, that's not a typo. So it would be cool to hear a quick 1 minute description in your review. Thanks.

You mentioned that the you scrubbed the Tahoe Z71 because it doesn't have Supercruise and Ford Expedition Timberline because it doesn't have Bluecruise, but the Sequoia doesn't have any autonomous driving either. Only the Mirai offers an equivalent - Toyota 'Advanced Drive' - and Toyota is generally well behind when it comes to autonomous programmes.

Wowww I’ve actually been thinking about this car a lot recently. So amazing

They're great vehicles I've been to the factory in San Antonio. A lot of hard working Texans made sure your purchase is high quality.

Great move Doug. Love the Sequoia, and admittedly am a Toyota guy through and through. I run away from anything Dodge, especially for cross country trips. Love the white too.

Next step, to add to the ambiance of all that camo, is an auto gun rack and a set of truck nuts. Also Doug growing a mullet to complete the package. 😜
