The Toyota Sequoia. Will It Rally?
Ойын-сауық
It's big, it's bouncy and Wyatt does not like it. But will it rally? What time will this 2012 Toyota Sequoia set on our mountainous rally stage here at Team O'Neil?

They are more worried about breaking the raptor than an old Toyota
For cars that cut throttle when you try and left-foot brake, if you reach up and disconnect the brake light switch connector near the top of the pedal that will usually prevent the ECU from taking your throttle away when you left foot brake. 350Z guys have to do that to stop their cars doing the same thing.

Idk how normal sprinter vans work, but in the ones we use for FedEx, as soon as any slippage is detected, traction control kicks in and cuts the power big time. It's a delivery driver's biggest enemy in muddy/snowy conditions and causes us to get stuck in situations that no other vehicle would get stuck in

I LOVE my Sequoia. Big, comfy, reliable as hell, and the best road trip vehicle we've ever had. That being said, it did rally better than I expected. I thought it would have rolled halfway through the course. lol
Toyota really leaned into the brake pedal/throttle cut after the floor mat unintended acceleration issue in the '00s.
That is genuinely terrifying. LOL

I watched that F450 video and although it is a beast, it looked cool, Wyatt said it was fun, it looked fun. The sequoia just looks unstable everywhere and looked scary from the inside camera and probably worse watching from the outside. It constantly looked like it wanted to catch a small rut and do 17 barrel rolls through the trees LOL.

The f450 is also designed to tow a billion lbs and probably has super stiff leafs that don't flex. Like driving one unloaded would be awful, but it being way oversprung when not loaded definitely helped it be way more stable than this boat.

Back in 2012, I believe the Limiteds had an air suspension in the rear that likely was shot, exacerbating the "wallow" you're feeling. Converting to regular springs is a common mod for these. I run LT E-rated tires on ours (SR5 so no air suspension) and it's a pretty firm ride.

If it was on air, it's obviously not shot. You can tell by the ride height. When air is shot, you will know just by looking at it. There is no in between with air. If it's inflated, it's working.

We've built out our Subaru Ascent for offroad/overlanding, but I considered upgrading to a 2018 or 2020 Sequoia recently. Can't convince my Wife though, she likes driving the Ascent too much...but I like the idea of the extra space for our family of 6 in the Sequoia for overlanding (plus all the extra power and automatic transmission vs the CVT in the subaru). We've done skid plates, rear diff locker, 2" lift, wheels/tires, winch, recovery points, rock sliders, and roof rack on our Subaru Ascent. Recently broke 2 rear axles and it gets easily bogged down in snow because the engine won't put the power to the wheels, it protects the CVT too much (it has more than enough power, just can't use it).

I don't know what you're talking about - that was beautiful.
I just watched a car roll over at our last rallycross event here in Texas, watching this was terrifying! Especially the e brake turns
I have a 2011 Platinum. I seriously love this thing. Capable enough offroad for my needs with a basic tire/suspension upgrade plus almost 0 maintenance at 215K. I got it airborne in Moab. It was awesome to launch a 6k pound vehicle. I broke a few things inside when I did, but that was because my tools bounced and broke some pieces of plastic. The vehicle was fine!!!
These have an IRS rear end. Always wanted to cut a SWB tundra for this rear end for a swb wild dirt beater with the 5.7... Maybe do a swb 4wd F150 5.0. becoming popular hot rods, and light for a truck
I love that this vehicle bounced so much one of the cameras fell off 😂😂
Pretty incredible time considering the factors against it, excellent driving! It looked pretty cool coming out of the hairpins. Hope to see a Jetta or FWD Golf tested someday.
Good lap and nice to hear you get a little scare!

I used to rally drive my fwd 02 Beetle in the snow. I haven't driven a car that fun in the snow since.
Damn I have a 2017 Platinum. I wonder how much the adjustable dampers in the Platinum would change the offroad performance? Pretty impressive that the old dinosaur can handle a beating like that.

2020 ford transit will it rally? For the delivery drivers :)
you should do another charger pursuit with the hemi but AWD I bet that thing would flyyy
If you got the engine to do it... when in doubt? POWER OUT! Biggest beast I ever hooned in was a '92 Ford E150 conversion van. It had the legendary 351W (5.8L) v8 and weighed in at a terrifying 6200lbs with my fat ass in it! LOL It was a blast playing with it on a fairly windy AZ desert road but I have to agree with you Wyatt, anything will rally if you are brave enough to do it!!
I would love to see them do a suburban or Escalade just a massive heavy vehicle
Yesssss
are snow tires better for rally or all season tires ?
Please please please do the 3rd gen rav4 (2006-2012) with awd and the v6. Thing seems like it has the genetics to rally?
An 05 Nissan pathfinder will be fun
you need to try to rally a chevy expolore convertion van, that had been so fun to watch. and surley you cant rally that
I was behind a Sequoia when I lived in Japan, and they look like a building on wheels over there.
yoooo can you try a subaru crosstrek eventually??!
I just needed new shocks on my tundra at 180k miles, it was doing the same mega wallow bouncing. probably just needs new ones and it would have been a few tenths quicker even!

Would you try it again with modded tires and suspension?
we need this format with a jeep liberty lmao
My 04 explorers throttle will cut out when I do left foot breaking. Power returns when I lift off the breaks. Is it different than that for other manufacturers?

you should get a explorer back out for a summer time
how long does Wyatt take in order to get used to the car before he attempts to do the actual time lap? Does he daily the car for a few days or practice for a few days to get used to the dimensions and weight of the car? I can't imagine how someone can quickly get used to how long and heavy some of the cars/trucks he has whipped around the track. I still can't believe he was able to clear that tight hairpin with the F450 King Ranch using a pendulum turn at that too. That was pretty amazing to watch.

Did you pull both abs fuses becauses that will disable 4wd and the speedo. I believe pulling only the red abs2 40a disables abs and does not effect 4wd. thats how it is on my tundra so hoping its the same on the sequoia

You'd get a more satisfying result with the right tires, don't you think?
