We needed a full size SUV to pull a travel trailer. Finding the new Toyota Sequoia to test drive proved impossible, but we found one we could sit in. That did it. We found all of the problems others have mentioned about lack of cargo space. But for us, the clincher was sitting in the drivers's seat with the door closed. Neither of us was comfortable seeing out! It felt like sitting in a hole and craning to see the road. We are both medium height and build, and yes, we each adjusted the seat. That and the fact that there is zero space in the back for any cargo made this an easy choice to abandon. We would never be able to carry our kayaking gear, or any additional camping gear. Luggage, even groceries would be a problem. Plus folding down the 2nd row seats gives very little additional room. There are very few vehicles that meet our criteria. We had looked at the Lincoln Navigator and the Infiniti QX-80 but really needed to try out the new Toyota Sequoia as well. After calling several dealerships and driving all over southeastern Louisiana, we could not find anything to drive. Everyone one wanted $$ to hold "the next one" for us. Finally we found one that was reserved for someone else, but the dealership let us sit inside the car. Thank goodness! Just sitting in the driver's seat proved this to be a bad choice. We are enjoying our new Infiniti QX-80 (though not the gas mileage) and pulling our new travel trailer. Between bad gas mileage and safe driving ability, safety wins!

I waited for this?

Front seats are the least comfortable I have experienced, will have to get extra cushion for long drives. A/C must be turned EACH time car is started and if you want blower on high you also must turn on auto a/c and then turn ac on again. My 3/4 ton pickup gets better fuel mileage. Had to get front windows and sunroof ceramic coated for car to stay cool enough. Fake exhaust noise thru audio speakers is uncalled for. Rear seat arm rest FELL OFF first month. Ordered and waited 8 months for this.

For a vehicle this size and weight the performance is great. The intermittent hybrid works seamless and would benefit from more battery to allow for more use in the city driving. Don't be fooled there is plenty of horsepower and acceleration when you want it or need it... but if you are more gentle with the throttle then you can really maximize the mileage and exceed the ratings given expectably in the city driving situation. Highway the hybrid doesn't seem to add much to the mileage but the V6 still provides about 22mpg on highway... much more than the older V8. Reliability is still TBD and after seeing the recall on the Tundra V6 (not hybrid) will make me more cautious of any signs this Sequoia exhibits and I will bring to dealer immediately.

It gets attention

I have a 2023 Toyota Sequoia platinum edition. There’s a lot more cons than I thought there should be for a vehicle that cost this much. Obviously one of the major cons is the price I don’t think it’s worth the 90,000 I paid for it also, I think there should be certain conditions that need to be met to be classified as a hybrid the main one getting at least 30 miles to the gallon. I get around 15 the whole reason I bought a new Sequoia, instead of keeping my old one was I wanted better gas mileage but I didn’t get it. Also, the second row seats should be able to slide forward and backwards. They are so far back that the third row seat is pretty cramped. If they could be slid forward a little bit it would make much more room for the third row when the second road doesn’t need so much room. Also, if you’re using the third row, don’t expect to take anything with you. There is no luggage or cargo space if the third row is up. I liked the back cargo area of the older sequoia much better than this new one. The old ones had a completely flat rear when the third row was down. This one is very inconvenient with the seats sticking up out of the floor making multiple levels for groceries and things to fall over. I’ve also had a few glitches with the engine specifically, the hybrid side I have pushed on the gas before from a stop for it not to move and had to let off and try again. When you’re in the middle of an intersection trying to make a left-hand turn, this can be a little nerve-racking if there’s other cars coming and your car is not moving. A lot of other newer vehicles have apps that you can start and control your vehicle with so does the sequoia. However you have to pay $15 a month to use it with the sequoia, other brands have it for free. On top of the already outrageous price of these I think that that is unacceptable. But on the pros, I like driving it the camera system the adaptive cruise control and smooth drive All very nice. It also gets more attention than any other vehicle I’ve ever driven, including sports cars. I’m amazed how many people come up and ask me about it. And the only reason I haven’t traded it in is because of the amazing towing on it. If I traded it in, I’d have to get an suv fir around town and another vehicle to tow my quads this one I can tow my 9000 pound cargo trailer with all of my toys in it.

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.
