Is the 2024 Toyota Sequoia TRD PRO a better SUV to BUY than a Chevy Tahoe Z71?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The Sequoia is the largest SUV that Toyota builds. For 2024 you will get a new TRD PRO color called Terra, 18in forged BBS wheels and TRD cat-back exhaust. On the inside you will be greeted by a 14in infotainment screen, and soft-tex seating materials. Under the hood is a 3.5L twin-turbo V6 hybrid mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. Is the 2024 Toyota Sequoia TRD PRO a better SUV to BUY than a Chevy Tahoe Z71?

I love Toyota, Chevy, Ford, and Dodge! In terms of me voting for the Sequoia and the Tahoe, I’m going Toyota hands down, because they’re extremely reliable, that’s the reason why Toyota is one of my top favorite brands! Dodge is my top favorite and will always be.

They removed the roll down rear windows and the backseats dont fold flat into the cargo area. Those two reasons alone steer me towards the GM twins. I do like this interior screen size and color options, but once the redesigned Tahoe/ Yukon come out, that will no longer be a factor.

Joe, another great detailed review. So, no 12V port up front?
Toyota has a nice color palette for their TRD models. Hard to say which is my favorite
That thing is a beast. I like it better in Solar Octane. Thanks Joe and Steven!
Truly love the new refresh on this and would have likely gotten it once I’m done with my current SUV but there are 2 things that upset me with this vehicle. #1 - Hybrid Powertrain for all trims (Long term Reliability + repair costs down the road) #2 - Lack of 3rd row room + cargo The lack of room is a no go for me. The older generation has more room. Will probably look at the Ford Expedition.

Funny, I was just at the dealer checking the new Sequoia out!
Which trim has the most comfortable ride? Would TRD Pro have it due to more sidewall and better suspension? Or would something like the platinum trim have it?

You are not the first to say that
2:40 I thought the very same thing about the Sequoia pulling off the better looks with the redesign. I can't put my finger on it, so I'll just have to go with the obvious - the wheelbase and roofline bring it all together better. Of course, the tire/wheel combo of the TRD Pro package is critical too. 0h, just figured out the MAIN THING,it's the REAR side design element that begins in front of the rear door handles. That's what's bringing it all together for me.
I like the design with the ladder in the rear. It’s super cool for stacking things. Still would prefer more space without the seats laid down as well though.
Maybe the color would look different in person, but I'm not warming up to the exterior shade as it appears on my phone. Love the front styling!

@@morganw5060 Right? I just don't get it. My kids loved riding on the bench seat with our dog in the middle. Really stupid on Toyota's part
I feel like its a beautiful truck but they missed the mark. All they had to do was make the gen 2 better. This takes away the sliding center seats, the roll down rear glass, rhe fold flat seats, and the legroom in the 3rd row. Its the size of a "full size" but the interior doesn't make sense for that price point. They shoulda kept all the good features of the 2nd gen and made it an xl truck in length like a suburban. I think for the grand Highlander and this to be almost the same size it missed an opportunity to be a legit family cruiser. I love my 2nd gen and as nice as this looks people with families probably wont upgrade.
Perfect spec right there. I'd take that one exactly how it is.
Spill the beans Joe! You said you have some exciting updates coming our way? 😏 Regarding the 2025 4Runner?
Lovely vehicle. My comment on the rear wiper: If the motor mechanism is at the lower end of the glass- its more likely to get damaged as people with groceries etc could hit it accidentally. In contrast if the wiper is mounted on upper section of the rear glass, then the mechanism that moves the wiper is "protected" from random hits form the groceries etc. You could add that to your next video- if you agree. Have a good one.
I'm in love with Terra!
This can't be a FULL-SIZE SUV if you're eating your knees in the 3rd row 😆
I personally love Terra. I have a competition orange mustang and it’s my favorite part about the car. This color would look good next to the Mustang and I personally like Terra better than solar octane
Cool color I think
That color is "Terra Cotta", not Terra (meaning Earth). This is a decent looking big SUV and on the interior I like the camo on the seats and really like that the infotainment is built into the dash instead of looking like its stuck on with glue like some vehicles. Not a fan of the plastic front or under any SUV that claims it can do off road and the lack of cargo space in the back, the shelf may help but it doesn't make up for a lack of suitcase room.
how come no "on throttle"?
an ice cap or magnetic gray with cockpit red interior in the trd pro fits well in my opinion (oh shoot it's my birthday today)
I had a Suburban and couldn’t keep it out of the shop replacing transmissions! Three transmissions in 150K miles and countless electrical problems that kept it in the shop! It was an awesome ride when it ran! But…Never going back that way!

I’m a Toyota/Lexus fan boy . But they need independent rear suspension for a premium ride & a lithium ion battery so they can move it from under the the third row seats & make a flat floor , would make this suv Awesome instead of just good .
Truck looks great but the rear cargo area is disjointed and enough for me to look elsewhere (2025 Tahoe / Explorer).
If Toyota would stop refusing to offer a long bed pick up with a crew cab it wouldn't be forced to offer an SUV with a 3rd row which only fits 10 year old humans, same with the Lexus LX600 series. That is the reason the Tahoe, Yukon & Expedition will always be kings of SUV's.
Nice Honest Review. May be there is min customization because it is Off road.
Hey yall! I bought a cpo c43 amg and 3 weeks in all cylinders misfired and the battery needs replacement and apparently there might be even more issues with the engine so they sent it out to their team of specialists. What is the best course of action? It does not qualify for lemon status here in illinois so I am unsure what the next steps should be. There is a ct5 i am eyeing and im not sure if i should get this fixed and then trade it in or if im eligible for some assistance from mercedes… any help is appreciated and of course joe i would appreciate your guidance
