Update 6/1/2023...4 years of ownership and over 50,000 miles put on the Sequoia. Nothing to report other than normal maintenance (fluid/filter changes as recommended in service manual and new tires). We have taken this rig on several long road trips and it has proven to be a great vehicle for doing so, even when fully loaded. The reduction in cargo capacity and 3rd row usability make the new 2023 Sequoia a tough sell for me to consider. I plan to keep this vehicle a while longer. Fuel mileage would be the only complaint, but I knew that prior to purchasing. Update 6/1/2021...2 years and 30,000 miles on the Sequoia and no issues experienced other than the wind noise, which was fixed under warranty. Took it on a 2,500 mile road trip through the Rocky Mountains last fall, including some off road trails, and it was awesome. If you are looking for a reliable, spacious, body on frame SUV with a usable third row, not sure there is a better option available. It will be interesting to see what they do with the next generation expected in 2022. Update 5/25/2020...Only issue experienced after 1-year was wind noise on driver's side door. Dealer adjusted the door seal under warranty and have had to other issues. Really enjoy this rig and plan to keep it a while. Original review...I just traded in a 2012 Sequoia (156,000 miles) for a 2018 Sequoia and am pleasantly surprised by the updates. LED headlights are wonderful. Toyota Safety Sense (adaptive cruise, lane departure, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot monitoring) are a great addition, especially due to the size of the rig. Ride is smooth and handling acceptable. Powertrain has proven reliable. The competition is utilizing cylinder deactivation and turbos to boost fuel mileage, but at what cost to maintenance & reliability? Dashboard and technology update is a significant improvement. The slight styling change to the grill looks great. I'm very happy they didn't change the interior like the Tundra as it is less functional and you lose the second glove box. Overall, this is a great vehicle and still outshines most of the competition despite not having a significant redesign since 2008. The only thing that I wish it had is the 8 speed transmission that they are putting in the Land Cruiser.

Capable and comfortable - hilariously bad mileage

I’ve had my 2018 SR5 for a year now. Absolutely flawless reliability. Tows a 7,000 lb trailer like a dream. Surprisingly capable off-road. I’ve driven through several creeks and done some super thick muddy roads and fields while out hunting. It’s planted and confidence inspiring on icy mountain roads. Incredible for long road trips loaded up with the family, pup, and camping gear. Big enough to sleep in comfortably with the middle seat folded down and a piece of plywood to bridge the gap between the second and third row of seats. It’s shockingly fast for an SUV this big. The engine and transmission combo really work well. The adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitors, and corner sonar indicators make it really comfortable to drive for such a big vehicle. The turn radius is really shockingly tight. The gas mileage is just terrible. Really comically bad. I usually don’t even get to 15 mpg on a tank. Usually 14mpg combined. Maybe 17 mpg on a road trip with all highway use. Update: I’ve now owned the Sequoia for 2 years and have put 50,000 miles on it, bringing it to 70,000 miles total. I love my Sequoia! No maintenance problems, it’s the road tripping king! With a roof cargo rack and trailer hitch carrier, I got 6 people, a 50lb dog, and gear for a week packed into it. We dropped off our luggage and headed up the mountains far past a “turn around you’ll get stuck” sign. Edit: 2023 - still loving it.

I knew this car would get bad gas mileage but I didn't expect it to be horrible. I drive normal around town, even make a concerted effort to not jump on the gas, maintain 75 on the highway, and I am averaging 11 MPG's. I have had trucks before, SUV's, and have never experienced this. 3800 miles, owned the car new since Sept 2018. If fueling up a concern for you, do not buy this car.

The technology of today has not caught up to the Sequoia. Gas mileage is crazy bad! The ability to load a 4x8 sheet of plywood can't happen. The price is out of line.
