The back window on the 4Runner rolls down as well. I just sold my 4Runner and bought the new 2021 Land Cruiser Heritage Edition and I miss that feature but I have found that the exhaust finds its way into the cabin when I do that...and, when I'm accessing the rear to grab stuff, I open the lift gate anyway. So, on the one hand it's nice but it really didn't provide much use for me.

Comes with a Torsen center diff in 4WL, so no binding at all when in tight turns on dry pavement, acts like an AWD system. My wife never takes it out of 4WL in the MN winters. You can push button lock the center diff, so it becomes 4x4 and should only be used off road or vey low traction conditions. Also comes standard with a 4.30 gears so it tows with ease. Also comes double wishbone suspension, only SUV with that design so it tows and handles pretty nimble for a tank.

Same here Fluffy. Purchased the 08 new when it came out and drove it 9 years (a record for me) traded it in on a 17 Yukon XL Denali and liked the Yukon, but missed the rear glass feature. 3 years later went back to Sequoia (2010 Limited). Just biding my time until late 2022 when the new sequoia will supposedly launch. If it’s anything like the Tundra, then TTV6 is the power plant ( no V8). Will probably give it some time and try to buy one after 1st year. Will definitely miss the V8 sound, but will appreciate the improved fuel/towing expected from the new power train.

This truck still looks great, considering how dated the design is. It just needs some LED taillights and a major update to the interior.

This thing is WAY too outdated for the price. My favorite YT channel, if you’re ready I’m ready!

Bought it back in November 2020. Changed the tires, I love it.

Outstanding presentation, Joe and Lori. Sequioa TRD Pro, simply the BEST!

I think if you take the engine out, that would be the same square footage as standard hotel room. 😊

Awesome Looking SUV Joe, Also I Totally Love The Full - Size SUV's.

Tail lights are a "MAYOR ZONK" wholly cow, we now have next level zonks 😂 You're the Best Joe.

Love it, this reminds me the 1st gen Dodge Durango. Great review as always Joe !

Man, I like the way you are presenting the cars!!! 👍

BTW, the tailgate can be opened & closed from the cockpit, there is a button to the left of the steering wheel. Additionally there is another secret stach area, the double cup holders in front of the center console can be removed for added storage or small items like cash , cr cards can stowed under it.

Great Content Excellent Review 👍🏻👍🏻

The SR5 remains the bargain of the 3 ton, V8, gas-guzzling SUV segment.

Have the 2020 army green pro. Perfect family car! We love it and plan to give it to my children when they drive. My children are 4 and 1.

Lunar rock! Beautiful color!

I see people complaining about the bland interior.. these are the same people who wants big tech electronics on the inside but complain about always being at the dealership with electrical issues… more wiring and tech = more issues.. SIMPLE..

I just sold my 1st generation 2006 last month. Drove it to the wheels almost fell off. At 203,000 miles. Loved it to death. I really didn't like the 2nd generation. So I went with the Infinity I've always drove Toyota's my 1st new vehicle was a 4 runner limited back in 1999. Can't wait to see if their is a re design. They might get me back. My hubby drives a 2005 tundra still going at almost 260,000 drives like a champ. Will be upgrading for 2022 new tundra. These cars are so reliable.

That thing is huge and the design is nice.

I’d personally choose the Armada over this but I still like these a lot, way cheaper than the land cruiser. Awesome color! Great vid!

Purchased my 2021 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro Super White for $58,693 in February. Dealers are now selling them for $68,000 without budging. An appreciating asset, indeed.

Even with this being outdated, I would still purchase it if it had a larger gas tank. Only thing missing is a 38 gallon tank.

Fun in the field. :)

I have a 2021 Sequoia TRD PRO and I luv it, I may upgrade the head unit for a larger screen, 23k miles in and it drives like new.

Hey R, R, big fan. Problem is I hope that read the comments of lesser fans do not force them to pay money in order for the message to get anywhere. Anyway my concern. Twice on two different Sequoia reviews you said that the tailgate powered down but not up on one and was not powered at all on the other… I want you to prove it. A Toyota does not make things half powered and second even on a 60k vehicle, if is not powered Toyota would not waste time and money by putting a switch in there. Do me and fans a favor and revisit these videos and show that they are not powered. Thanks.

THANKS, Laurie!!!

Hi did this have a heated wheel? I really do like this vehicle I need the cargo space, the V8 for pulling and I like that it rides smooth.

This or wait for redesign and when can we expect to see a redesign on the actual dealership floor to buy is the question. Great review thanks again

Really nice.solid suv Toyota old school quality is what loyal customers want leave it simple.

Dope color

Great review, I’ve actually got a deposit and waiting for this exact one, but 2022, for the wifey. As old and dated, she’s worried the 2023 will look super masculine like the new tundras. What are your thoughts on the tires, they seem a bit small, but how much bigger could fit without adjusting anything else? 285/70/R18? 285/65? Or are the stock ones ok in person?

Joe really hates those 2nd row armrests. LOL 🤭😂🤣

Front tow hooks are made to be towed. Not to pull. Differential gears are built to apply load in drive, not in reverse. So tow forward

I’m waiting for your video on the Toyota Corolla cross! 😊

I can’t believe he said surge!! 😂🤣 video deserves a like just from that.

Surprised it has lane keep tech considering a lot if other stuff is so dated. Also appreciate the rear AC controls. I’d wait for the refresh for sure..

My 2008 Sequoia has 345,000 miles, however, I have replaced the engine block. Transmission shifts perfect, but for some reason, I do not have reverse. I have had three different mechanics charge me $ 600 each for a transmission solenoid, and it did not fix the problem. I now have some time oil leaks, but plan to get those fixed. I think I have replaced the radiator, but that was just because the mechanic twisted my arm that it could not be repaired. Driver's seat is worn-out and one upholstery shop quoted $ 250 to fix the seat. I think I am on original caliphers, brake rotors, muffler, catalytic-converter, etc. Probably all the light-bulbs have been replaced in the past two years. I love my SEQUOIA, but the gas mileage is 12 to 14 mpg. Ignition-coils seem to fail all the time. Disclaimer: I have not taken good care of my SEQUOIA

Unironically love that the sequoia still has curves. Really tired of blocky angles on everything.

Next they are gonna make a Prius TRD

I know that the Sequoia is being redesigned for the 2023 model year. I really hope Toyota adds an extended wheelbase version to compete with the Chevrolet Suburban

I really wish Toyota brought some FJ cruiser into the TRD off road vehicles and put the little lights on the mirrors just a teeny touch to tie in their off road suvs they make (btw I am writing this comment on my phone and I watch your vids on my computer)

Would like this, a tundra, 4runner or a land cruiser or LX/GX to replace my 96 suburban. But im just worried about how comfortable it will be since my suburban has the most relaxing and comfortable seats I've ever sat in
