Brand new hype yet it’s many steps backwards to the point where we don’t have to drive it to determine that it’s a total failure and an automotive embarrassment

If you're going to make that weird third row configuration, at least give the rest of us a delete option. I hate that third rows come standard on many vehicles when I could just have the cargo room instead.

Dito, considered this one since it has the hybrid option, but saw the abismal cargo area and third row and decided to pick up a ‘23 Tahoe RST.

That third row is probably a deal breaker for me unless it's removable. Those seats severely limit the cargo capability even while in their folded position. I want third row but they're not something I'm going to use a lot. Besides the third row seats taking up so much room the rest of the vehicle looks outstanding.

Our 1998 Suburban had major problems - too many to bother listing. Loved the room and power but my life experience has left me convinced GM intentionally cuts corners probably to keep the dealers and mechanics employed. And many smaller cities and towns only have domestic dealers so people buy them. I've had a few issues with my 07 Tundra SR5 5.7 liter - but nothing compared to the GM. Toyota has no choice but to build better but people put up with domestic so the domestics can build less better? My Toyota truck is still going strong. The only issue I have so far is the complexity of this new Toyota powertrain already having issues with turbos and lets see how well that in frame battery behaves. IMO Toyota does quality better whilst domestic design-wise are superior but may leave you more stranded LOL

third row is a HUGE fail especially given how great the previous generation sequoia was. The combination of the solid rear axle and the battery pack really just took so much room from the rest of the vehicle. Additionally, the lack of a center differential or any sort of an automatic 4WD mode would make this a TOUGH buy over the expedition, Tahoe, or Wagoneer.

Thanks for making this video! Thinking of getting one. Can’t wait!

The truck looks awesome, but its too bad the cargo area is so small. Thank you for a great first look.

The placement of the third row when the seats are folded is ridiculous... I have a Highlander, wich is much smaller than a Sequoia, and the third row lays completely flat in the floor when folded... Very big flaw for the new Sequoia in my opinion. Unforgivable in a modern full size SUV.

Are people buying this over a 4Runner for overlanding? I assumed they'd go 4Runner but I could be wrong.

I liked my first gen. Sequoia a lot but I feel like they've kind of missed the mark a bit with this one. Part-time transfer case is a bit disappointing, both 1st and 2nd gen had an on-pavement 4wd option so that's a step back. I actually like the solid axle for off-road, but that step underneath the 3rd row is weird. Even if you can remove the 3rd row, it still won't have a flat floor. And the rear window won't go down either like in 1st & 2nd gens.

I have a Suburban LTZ - which is fantastic, but the best thing is the removable 3rd row. I don't always need it, so it typically stays out until family visits. When it's out, there an incredible amount of space. Can alleviate the need of a truck for some people!

This is a very capable vehicle I wouldn’t mind owning… in addition to a Suburban. I haven’t compared exact numbers, but this new Sequoia appears to be pretty darn close to the current gen Traverse in size, than a current gen Tahoe or Expedition. Again, just eye balling this for a bit now. Clearly, far more capable than a Traverse! As many have mentioned, this needs to be able to remove that third row completely to create its own niche market. Toyota really biffed it there being so much smaller than the current gen Tahoe and Expedition…

Its honestly like they took all the bad design elements of the 200 series land cruiser, removed the awesome full-time 4wd system, made it bigger, made the interior crappier, kept the price tag, and called it a Sequoia. Then, in 5 years, they are going to wonder why they only sell 3000 a year and cancel it. Then maybe they will rebadge it as a Lexus LX700 and increase the price to $120,000 and still sell 3000 of them.

How is the hp rating configured? Is it split between the electric motor and the gas ? For towing applications I would want to know if I’m looking at losing 150hp or so due to my towing needs exceeding the battery range. Im not searching hard for the answers to these questions but I’m certainly not seeing much on it.

Did you notice the ability to manually open the rear door from the inside?

I find with passengers being able to open the rear door manually is a great safety feature especially if theres a need to egress from an accident.

Not really blown away so far, especially since I was sort of expecting more of a modern day Land Cruiser when I heard it was going to have a solid rear axle.

It will succeed. People like my dad will buy this. Hes been sitting on his old V8 4runner due to loving toyota, wanting to tow his boat but not wanting a truck. Most trucks cant fit in his garage.

Agree with both of y'all. We are looking at 2018 to 2020 Yukon's XL and suburbans now, the 3rd row room is way better than the Tahoe and regular Yukon. It's useable. I really wanted to love this Sequoia because I was glad to see a good traction control system and an actual selectable and rear locker, but the rest is a no-go. I want a fully adult usable third row and space behind it. At least the Chevys, the older generation have the g80 auto locker, which I'm not really a fan of, but it seems better than the low-level mechanical limited slip they are putting on the 2021s and 2022s, unless you spend 72 grand You're not going to get the ELSD which is a shame. I've looked a little at the Expeditions, they aren't bad either, but I'm not that familiar. I've seen they have something like a rear locker on some. Never driven one.
