Your correct Ben, along with the 2024 and under 4Runner.

Glad I purchased a new 2nd generation 2021 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro employing that bulletproof naturally aspirated 3UR-FE 5.7 liter V-8 engine and reliable 6 speed Aisan transmission

A truer title has never been made. Their quality has been down the toliet lately. Tacoma, Tundra, Lexus gx

Man I love those old Toyota V6 and V8 start ups. fucking music to my ears. These new ones sound like hair dryers.

Amazing how much that Sequoia is like my 2007 Tundra SR5 with the TRD package. Same 5.7L V8 with the same plastic cover on top. Same little compartments in the door arm rests, same shape and location of the A/C controls and shifter and 4WD switch (although with different textures and finishes) same "secret compartment" between the shift lever and cup holders (lift up the cover from the latch toward the front), same double glove compartment, same center console. That was the first year of the newly redesigned Tundra and I bought it new for $29, 250. 18 years and 257, 000 miles later, still running strong.

Hey just a quick note - there is a button on the outside of the rear hatch that you can open the rear hatch, it's just that the power hatch doesn't engage if you do it that way, but you can certainly open it that way. Just thought I'd mention that because your vid seemed to suggest you can't open it from the outside without either the keyfob or interior button (which isn't the case). We owned a sequoia (in this gen) for 5 years and absolutely loved it - so much room inside, leg room was amazing. Ours wasn't the TRD Pro, it had standard suspension, however we upgraded to Bilstein 5100 shocks, which was a HUGE upgrade in handling etc. Far better, crisper handling and made towing way more stable. Ours had rear airbags as well (Factory) but not the adjustable shocks. I found the engine note (5.7L) very noisy compared to our 200 series (as you also mentioned) - way less sound deadening etc.

Simplicity is the key to longevity..No cylinder deactivation, no stupid stop/start, analog gauges, real HVAC controls..

Great looking Truck! 318 miles of range on a full tank?? Ouch!! 🤕 These Sequoias needed a bigger gas tank.

Ben’s murdering it this weekend man, got my head spinning on what to get next.

This thing is a beast. Performance capabilities may not be the best on paper but the durability and reliability combined with the ease of repair make it a road-going tank that can survive 3rd world country conditions. They just go and go, and 'drive like new' more than any other brand. Go drive one with tape over the odometer and see if you can guess the mileage.

Great buy Ben, keep it for a good while I have an 18 Platinum

Best truck I ever owned. 2020 sequoia trd pro

[KenMcCune-wbjp]

It's still good looking suv for a Toyota love the V8 engine

[DBRB]

Ben what in the hell 😮it's only been a couple months since I saw a video but you look like a gym bro wizard now... crazy. Clearly you've been putting in a ton of work with the iron.

Thursday: I'm selling my Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro

[youarerightboss]

Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro, simply the best

[youarerightboss]

The 2nd generation possesses the V-8, flat folding 3rd row seats and rear sliding window

[GoingFar]

You have to own one to understand. It isn’t winning any beauty contests, but it will last forever, it’s very capable on and off road, and it has a great third row that is usable by actual adults. I disagree with Ben on one thing- the Platinum with the air suspension is definitely as smooth as the TRD Pro with the Fox. It’s the smoothest riding BOF I’ve ever been in.

[youarerightboss]

Enjoy your Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro, Ben. It's like riding on a cloud.

[ellerybice]

With the Zest like color, and the shape of the body, I cannot resist comparing your Toyota to a Bar of nicely scented bath soap.
