We take a quick look at the 2024 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro with iForce Max. Despite being a hybrid, it won't give this Cro Mag fewer abilities. The TRD Pro trim level fixes some of the issues with had with the upper trims. Which would you choose, Ford Expedition, Jeep Wagoneer, Chevy Suburban, or Mazda CX-90?

    Cant wait to drive this full speed into my local BBQ joint for not cutting my cornbread into isoscoles triangles
  • @nevv8581
    Great review. As much as I love this Sequoia, the floor not being flat is a dealbreaker.
  • @AmericanDuck
    For those of us that use our SUVs like a truck sometimes, the flat load floor is a must. I have a 2003 Suburban that I’ve taken overlanding with a 4L transfer case, towing 9000lbs, a people carrier, yard work, vehicle recovery, and more. It just does it all. Sure I’ve had to repair things and rebuild the transmission and transfer case, but in terms of cost to own, it’s cheap. I rarely have to spend more than $1k on a repair. Many things I can do myself. The engine is always solid, the ride is smooth, on the highway the mpg is still in the mid 20s, there is so much glass you don’t need cameras to drive it. I just don’t see why they stepped away from designs like that? The efficiency they preach about is minimal for all the complications they’ve introduced. It makes no sense.

    No rear flat folding cargo area: check. No front tow hooks :check , hybrid only: check . Over priced: Check.

    The rear packaging compromises made to install the battery pack is a killer for me.
  • @JM-nz8gw
    I still haven't seen many of these on the road, I think the price tag has scared away cuatomers.
  • @KealeyOnCars
    So many incredibly engineering feats accomplished on this truck, but they really couldn’t come up with a better solution for packaging that battery?
  • @kalashnikov1343
    The screen needs to be bigger. Maybe just get rid of the front windshield and replace it with a screen. The fake exhaust sound isn't loud enough. They should have just downloaded an mp3 of a straight piped Ferrari and played that at max volume instead. The trunk is too big. What am I going to do with all that space?
  • @agirlnamedjewels
    My husband and I test drove this against a Yukon xl. I love the way it looked and it had an actual gear shifter! However the third row, cargo area, overall comfort is why we went with a Yukon xl duramax. When we come over the pass in the duramax we get average mpg of 30, it is amazing. We do drive half way up a mountain so we needed something that was capable but we are not truly driving off-road, I think if we doing true off roading we might have looked more at it.

    No one covers serviceability. I love this channel for that! When I buy vehicles I keep them until they completely die. 15-20 years. I cannot deal with something this complex. GMC Yukon at4 / Suburban z71or even the Nissan Titan with that NA V8 for me
  • @Nurdaholic
    With all the complexity of the drivetrain, it would’ve been far nicer to see 30+mpg to justify the shear level in making it so complex.
  • @james2042
    Honestly that rear cargo catastrophe still makes this vehicle a nogo for me, no matter what flavor they add. I use my suv as a pseudo truck, and their commitment to the solid rear axle plus the battery makes that loadfloor unusable. A burb is not only flat, its load floor is way lower and it can fit 4x8 sheet goods and close the rear hatch. Its actually a truck. This thing is a toy for soccer moms who are too good for minivans
  • @TacticalStrudel
    The third row and cargo area just don’t seem big or useful enough to justify its exterior size vs say a 4Runner. I’d get the new GX over this.
  • @3ducs
    I hate start/stop! I turn it off first thing when I start my car.
  • Traded in my Mazda CX-90 for this! Payed cash and boy do I love it!!!!
  • @kennyx6796
    I’m a Toyota “fan boy” and I’m skipping turbos on large vehicles. I work for Toyota HQ too so I’m not a hater.
  • I don’t understand why Toyota does not build a non hybrid version of the sequoia therefore lower price and better third row packaging.
  • @Yeroc357
    It's criminal how much Toyota is charging for these
