Horrible gas mileage

We get 13mpg. Fill up every 2 to 3 days. No trunk space. On the good side, it looks awesome, fits all 4 of my kids, 2 car seats fit well and have room enough to walk around to get passengers in the back.
What was Toyota thinking?

While waiting for my wife's Lexus to get serviced I took the opportunity to drive an almost-new 2023 Sequoia Limited. The dealer had it on the lot because a very disappointed customer traded it in for a new Lexus with only 2000 miles. After driving it for a few miles, I keep asking myself what was Toyota thinking when they designed the new Sequoia. First, the outside. It's huge. Wider, taller and longer than anything else Toyota offers with the exception of the Tundra. Yet, it has less ground clearance than a 4Runner, and barely the same as a tiny Subaru Crosstrec. Now the inside. Front seats space is ample, and the distance between passenger and driver sit is huge. One could easily fit a 3rd person there if Toyota offered a bench sit. But head and leg room isn't any better than a compact SUV. The width is actually an inconvenience because of how hard it is to reach some controls. Second raw is even worse. Yes, it's Wide (maybe Toyota was influenced by the fact that the majority of American population is obese). But again leg and headroom are barely adequate, less than my 2018 Highlander. Finally, the 3rd row is totally inadequate. About the same size as the Highlander, much smaller than a Telluride, and much much smaller than any other full-size SUV. The interior is full of cheap, clunky plastic. Cargo space is another "what were they thinking" moment. With the 3rd row up It's tiny. With the 3rd row down it's about the same as an average midsized SUV but nowhere what one would expect based on exterior dimensions. The cargo floor is high making loading of heavy objects difficult. The primitive part-time 4WD system is inadequate for safe highway driving in snow and ice conditions. The driving experience is equally disappointing. Acceleration is good. Buy handling and ride are terrible. Actually with such a poor handling and powerfull engine it is borderline unsafe. The engine is noisy, and the general noise level is what you would expect from the cheapest of the cheapest of the cheap compact SUVs, not a vehicle in this price range. Bottom line, the new Sequoia resembles something designed by AMC in the 1970s, and is utterly uncompetitive in 2023.

A great looking car that's horrible inside

I test drove this car along with Tahoe and Expedition. The huge upgrade to the dashboard from previous Sequoia along with the nice sleek look gave us a chance to put it against the other two and maybe switch to Toyota considering that we had a Highlander and liked it about 7 years ago. Let me just say this. This car is so loud inside it feels like your driving without a roof and engine is right next to you. The road noise is unbelievable. Not sure if it was a defective model or what but none of the cars I ever test drove were this loud. The car is spacious upfront but there is not trunk space. There is nothing you can haul and even if you lower the third row the space is smaller than my Pilot. Forget this. I guess it's Tahoe for us.

Monday we returned from a 3000 mile trip to the east coast. The past two trips we made were in our Yukon XL, so I thought I’d do a little review of our Toyota. We were a tad bit worried about the size of the gas tank size prior to leaving, but she proved to do pretty damn good. We got 300-350 miles per tank (which cost us about $60 to fill). The Yukon had a HUGE tank but the gas mileage was wayyyy worse, so we ended up filling up about the same amount of times, for about half the cost. Not to mention, we were towing extra weight. In terms of comfort, the seats in this car are wider and softer. The third row has way more room and we still had plenty of storage with one side folded down. The biggest down side to this car in my opinion, would be the cheap plastic they used in the third row. The plastic closures on the head rests holding the leather and padding on also kinda suck. I grew up with a Land Cruiser (that’s what I learned to drive on) and have had such an affinity to Toyotas after working in the automotive industry for so long. This is by far my fav large suv I’ve driven, including the Land Cruiser. If you are in the market for a new large fam vehicle, I highly recommend.

We have a 2008 platinum one with all everything. We kept holding out to upgrade until the new body style came out. They hide all the terrible features when viewing the vehicle on their website. It is very loud. It is very small. My husband is tall and we have always used it like a truck to haul stuff. Well, you can’t with the new version. My family can’t even fit in it comfortably, like before and there is no hauling because there is a hump behind the third row when you lay seats down. We have always hauled heavy tool boxes, appliances, lots of groceries, etc. You can’t even haul suitcases with the new one. Another thing that made us not buy one is that there is NO console between the captain seats in the upper models. This is also a must for us. Our kids want to be comfortable and need a place to store things. So disappointing!!
