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.

Okay it is an excellent car to go offroad with unlike the 2020 nissan armamda. It has better cargo space and for a vehicle this big it is quite smooth

Disclaimer, I just got out of a 2013 Jeep Unlimited Rubicon. It was loaded with all the options for the model at the time. But why get rid of it you ask? Family is expanding is my answer and the Sequoia delivers! My Jeep was heavily modified, so the gas was surprisingly better in the Sequoia ... Winning!!! More room with both reclining Captain’s Chairs and third row seats ... also winning. Toyota’s legendary reliability (over Jeep’s, but my Rubicon rocked!) and the 5.7 .... Mic Drop! The ride is fantastic and this has all the bells, whistles, and technology I need or can shake a stick at. IMHO, makes Edmund’s ratings and commentary seem ... welp, snobbish? This is may not be for everyone ... but it’s a fine vehicle indeed. Nice Job Toyota!

Toyota hog ties you from modifying the engine for any kind of performance upgrades. They also withhold critical computer information. They just don't want you to change the perf. of the motor. I am surprised there is no altimeter warning that shuts the motor down if you raise the suspension, changing the CG. Maybe that will be on next years model.
