Показать описание
We review the new 2023 Toyota Sequoia standard with the iForce Max Hybrid System. We work to determine if this is a legit replacement for the old V8 SUV. We discuss the pros and cons and all of the technical details and why the chase for Premium does not add up here. Would you choose this over the Ford Expedition, Jeep Wagoneer and, Chevy Suburban

This channel is brutally honest and this is what separates them from every other auto review channel. They don't sound like they are paid by the manufacturer to make their videos positive. Thank you for creating awesome videos.

It's wild how much more honest this review sounds vs so many other youtubers. Thanks as always for the candor!

It seems small, but honestly the 3rd row not folding down flat is 100% a deal-breaker.

I was really planning on buying this… After hearing Mark’s driving impressions I am certainly not anymore. I was willing to living with the weird cargo floor but the suspension tuning being so bad is a deal breaker. I really appreciate Mark and Jack’s honesty!

Enjoyed every minute. This is what a car review should be. Too many so-called "reviews" are just advertisements.

Mark's complete disinterest is hilarious

Third row is a deal killer for me. I bought a 2016 sequoia two years ago and absolutely love it. Ya it has a school bus interior but it's durable and easy to keep clean with having 3 kids under 6. But having the ability to fold the 3rd row flat is huge for me because I'm able to stick full size appliances in there no problem (own a few rentals so I do this fairly frequently). Plus the roll down rear window is incredibly functional as I can fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood or drywall through the window and run it across the top of the child seats in the second row, so it kind of allows it to function like a truck. Hell I even picked up a 10 foot dining room table and stuck it through the rear window. Having the ability to haul that stuff without having to take out all 3 child seats is so awesome it can't be ignored. However with this 3rd Gen, they got rid of the fold flat 3rd row and roll down rear window and for me personally, thats a huge loss of functional capability for the things I need it for. That being said, I will never sell my second gen, I'm more than happy to hold onto it until the sun crashes into the earth 😂

I’ve been able to drive both the iFM Tundra and Sequoia and ended up ordering a TRD Pro that I’ll hopefully see sometime soon. The Tundra rode well but the Sequoia felt genuinely broken. I’m glad to know I’m not the only person who felt like this truck rode like garbage.

I think Mark nailed it on the reliability being a big unknown. We bought a Lexus GX last year and the biggest factor over another large SUV was the reliability. When we watched the GX review and Jack said you could pass it on to your grandkids grandkids I was totally sold. That being said, it did not have the ride quality of the Expedition, Pilot, or handful of other models we cross shopped.

Mark is now just Turbowski in newer videos lol

The problem with Toyota is they wait much too long between updates, so when they do release a product, it has to be great...and this clearly isn't. The long update cycle allows the competition to set the terms and nature of the marketplace.

Sat in a Tundra recently, and the interior quality felt incredible chincy. Cheap-feeling plastics and rickety center console. I’m a 4Runner owner, and when purchasing, I overlooked it’s lack of tech and efficiency in large part due to the reliability. The government standards that are forcing the automakers into these incredibly complex power trains have me thinking of trading for a new 4Runner before they make the model change. Had the Tundra kept the V8 but gotten an updated transmission, I would have been in the market. But all feedback says the drivetrains have been made infinitely more complex, with minimal efficiency gains. At this point, I would probably choose the Titan for a full-size truck. It’s the most Toyota-like option at this point for those not wanting to brave Big Three reliability. For a large SUV, I’d probably be looking for a lightly-used prior-gen Sequoia.

I love the honesty on this channel. It takes a lot to put out content that's honest to the bone. Great work guys!! Thank you for doing what you do and putting out original honest content. It really sets you apart from the herd.

These guys are straight to the punch. I was contemplating of purchasing a new Sequoia. But, as of now no. I purchased a 2022 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy edition because of these guys. No regrets. Thumps up to their observations.

I (my wife) have a previous gen Sequoia, absolutely love that beast. This isn't better, but it sure looks like it may be appealing in the future when there's more and more less appealing vehicles. It's like a slow race to the bottom.

If you remember on a competing Youtube channel one of the lead engineers for Tundra said, they were forced by Japan to use fully boxed frame. He said, he wanted to use "C" channel frame. He felt the fully boxed frame was too stiff. I think this is one of the reason for the poor ride quality. Again, Toyota trying to have one system work for multiple products. It seems they have failed.

Thanks for keeping it real. You guys are the best in the biz.

I’ve always been a fan of the Sequoia. I feel imposing on the road looking down upon everyone else, and I can fit all of my wife’s children thanks to the three rows.

I have been waiting for this review. Glad you guys did this one. I was about to get a Capstone in black... Well, glad I saw this review before ordering one. I was looking for an actual unbiased review, and this is it! Thanks a million for your work!

When I test drove the Tundra TRD Pro, the first thing I noticed were the rock-hard seats.
