Small Kids Only -- 2023 Toyota Sequoia Capstone (7-Day Review)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

We lived with the 2023 Toyota Sequoia Capstone for a FULL WEEK! We tested out every element of this new SUV such as the third row, the iForceMax Hybrid powertrain, cargo capacity, and more to see if it can stand up to the 2023 Chevy Tahoe, Nissan Armanda, and 2023 Ford Expedition! After 7 days were we still impressed by this $81,000 Sequoia Capstone??

    Which shows how unimpressive Toyota really is, if this is true. They were only reliable because they were using outdated engines. Make something brand new an "bulletproof" and then you're doing something impressive. Most seem to think that they can't do that.

To each their own, spend your money on whatever you want, but just like with some Nissan models I'm not spending current prices on vehicle's that are 10, 15+ years old in technology and design. If that's the case I could just buy a used one.

    For all SUV reviews, please lay down a 4’x8’ sheet of plywood or drywall in the back with all seats folded down. I would argue a true SUV should be able to accommodate 48” wide to be useful. If it doesn’t lie flat, it’s a crossover. The Escalade ESV/Yukon XL/Suburban can hold a 4’x8’ sheet flat with plenty of extra space. Nissan Armada/Infiniti QX80 also can lie flat 4x8.

    Having owned the 23 Sequoia TRD Pro for a couple of months now, I can say that I'm fairly impressed with the setup. It's comfortable, good looking, and moves a bit too fast for a 6,200 lb vehicle. The powertrain is nice, mpg is usually around 12 for city and 19 on highway. I've honestly been waiting for toyota to move away from the v8. Haven't really tested out the solid rear axel for offroading but it's suppose to be more stable for that and towing. Haven't ran into any issue with putting large things in the cargo area, but it would be nice to have a lower load floor. I'm pretty happy with my purchase but time will tell how reliable these new systems are.

    The front interior is amazing, but they f***ed up the rear. When I first saw this at an auto show, I was stumped. I was wondering why anyone would want it with a 3rd row that's rendered useless if you need the cargo space behind it. Yes it can tow almost 9,000 lbs, has rear air suspension (opt.), and yes it gets better gas mileage... and tops out at $80,000+. I have a 2022 Kia Telluride... fully loaded. It has as much rear interior room, a useable 3rd row with plenty of space behind it (it's about 10" shorter), self leveling rear suspension(opt), and the same mpg... perhaps a little better. It can only tow 5,000 lbs, but it also cost $30,000 less.

    They screwed up the Tundra's rear seat as well. No flat floor, no underseat storage in the Hybrid. This seems like an afterthought, throwing a rear end on the platform for as cheaply as they could. Doesn't seem like Toyota is too serious about full size trucks anymore. Either that or they are confident Toyota fanboys will buy whatever they make.

    Despite the major improvements in terms of luxury and aesthetics the old sequoia seemed to a lot more room compared to this new generation. This has a smaller look and feel even considering its 3 inches longer than the older sequoia. Even the wheelbase is the same and the old sequoia feels larger. They definitely chopped some space off in the cabin. i think this is something the Americans are really good at. The GM triplets and the expedition those are all stellar products because they are very cavernous. Not saying that this is bad or anything but Toyota seems to have prioritize aesthetics over space. I mean reliability is the only thing this has going for it. Cuz the class is pretty much equal on features and comfort.

    Honestly, I do not agree with the opinion of the third row. It seems that it is enough for an average adult and has several amenities. Also the second row can be pushed forward a bit and still have more than enough space. For more serious space, buy a minivan a Kia Carnival or I don't know, a Chevrolet Tahoe, the biggest, yes, a Toyota is not going to be in the workshop all the time, nor is the gearbox going to overheat as soon as it sees a little effort outside of the road
