Newest Model Toyota Sequoia

[bowhuntercoop]

I’m not impressed by anything after 19’

Nothing from anyone.

Put well over 500 k on Toyotas, it’s all we own.
It’s going to be hard to trade in these 06,15,19s

I’ve had ever gen Tacoma and this 4th gen is by far my favorite. Engine and drivetrain are amazing coming from a tuned 18 pro with ott tune and king shocks. They knocked the 4th gen outta the park imo.

We are also looking at full sized SUVs after I hit 3 deer with our 2020 expedition. We have looked at them all and are leaning towards another Expedition or a Nissan Armada. If you think you want a Sequoia I would look at that Armada as well. They seem like a much nicer vehicle and have a lot more room due to not having the hybrid and solid rear axle taking up all the space in the rear. The Armadas are made in Japan as well.

The 2020 expedition was great. Bought new, did all my own maintenance and never had any issues in 120,000 miles. We were ready to drive it another 120,000 miles if I had not totaled it.

We had a first gen xk40. I miss it.

Former GM refugee. I sold my last Yukon XL/Suburban last year just before the 6.2 recall. I looked at the newest Sequoia. I ended up with a 2022 Land Cruiser. Capable but less space which is ok since it's just me now.

Unless you are outside of the US, there are no '22 LC's. 2021 was the last year of the 200 series imports, The 250 series came out in '24

Co-worker has a 22 tundra with just over 100k on it, drives like a real jerk, and the truck seems to ride very smooth IMO.

You are absolutely correct. It’s a 2020. Thanks.

The Toyota GH has more interior space than the Sequoia which is crazy. The Sequoia also only comes with the tiny tank so range is pretty bad. I have heard the battery takes up a ton of 3rd road space as well.

Then there is the main bearing issue. I have a 2024 Tundra so I keep on top of it (also chat with someone who has a real close person pretty high up in Toyota). The v35 has been spinning main bearings since it came out in 2017. Both Alabama built and Japan built V35's have the same main bearing issue. Hybrids get the shaft due to having motive power if the engine fails (Toyota's words, not mine) so I would avoid a hybrid like the plague. They changed the main bearings and the cleaning process sometime in 2024 I think. However, Toyota found out their new cleaning process made the engine debris issue even worse... So now they are trying to see if the new bearing design can handle the worse debris problem. Not sure how they did that, but they did.

I got my 7yr/75K miles Toyota Platinum warranty for $780 just in case mine decides to go out down the road. Never have paid for a warranty before until this truck. However, mine is now part of the newest engine recall so I may be getting a crate engine no matter what.

I really do enjoy the truck, but it will be gone before my Platinum warranty is up. No way i am gonna pay out of pocket for a new engine down the road.

Go on the tundra forums and read up…..the 1 percent is pure bs.

Just in march alone there were numerous guys who 26 spun a main. The 1 percent doesn’t even included recalled engines, totally made up number.

I owned at 25 for less than a year and put 3100 miles on it, took the 1500 loss and got outta it and boy I’m glad I’m did! Build quality for a 70k truck was bad to say the least. My Tacomas build quality is leaps and bounds better, sad what the tundra turned into.

You are correct. We are probably on the same forum ha Although the percentage is probably very very very low, the below 1% being taken as gospel is false based off the numbers Toyota gave us when they announced the first recall block of 102K. Again, its still pretty dang rare to have this happen (I just knocked on my wooden table ha) and it should be getting better each MY based of Toyota being Toyota, but I would at least go non hybrid over hybrid to be safe. You cant do that with the Sequoia so that would be a no from the start for me.

As a Toyota owner...Id go with an Expedition for a newer full size suv presently. The newer renditions of the 3.5l ecoboost have been pretty solid to 150k or so. Cam phasers arent that bad to do if needed and replacing a 10r80 trans is less than 1/3 the cost of a '22+ tundra engine and the ecoboost is WAY easier to work on.
From what I've seen of the rest of the newest tundra/sequoia, build quality isnt too bad, but they've had enough issues from the engine to give valid concern in that area.
Can you imagine buying one of these trucks/suvs second hand, out of warranty for $30-40k...just to get smoked with a $30k+ engine replacement shortly after due to a known defect that there is no telling when or if it will rear its head???
Id loose my mind. I cant see that doing any good for resale values. Toyota took the one thing they had over the other truck and SUV makers...rock solid mechanically reliability...and threw it out the window with these new full size offerings. That engine is so utterly overcomplex. I thought ford was out of their mind with a twin turbo v6 truck engine, then Toyota said "hold my beer...We can make it worse"...
However Im also old, grumpy and in the camp that just gets sick and angry getting in newer cars with all the screens and tech and bullshit buttons and features most dont need, wont use or end up being more distraction to the driver in the end.
I guess in the end it doesnt really matter much, they are all junk these days. Form trumps function across the board it seems.
Buy whatever you like driving the best, keep a cheaper back up vehicle and buy the best extended warranty you can and roll on. Redundancy is great peace of mind these days when it comes to vehicles. Best of luck.

I’ve had a few expeditions for rentals 0 out 10 I’d buy one, granted I’m hard on them but 2 out 3 had slipping trannys by the end.

Yeah...I mean...they were rentals .
Im no ford fan boy by any means, 10r80 been dropping like flies, ecoboost has had its issues for sure but not typically major bottom end problems requiring short block/engine replacement.
Im just saying $9k or so for a ford transmission that seems to hold up somewhat decent after an couple updates beats $30k+ for a Toyota engine that appears to be suspect even after supposed updates
More room in expedition...and its not a GM product, so it's got that going for it as well.
I wouldnt happily buy one, but if I needed a new/newer full size suv...thats the way Id go.

Based on my experiences owning both ford and Toyota, I’d take my Toyota experience over the bull I’ve taken from ford dealers and dodge any day of the week.

0 out of 0 would recommend any stellantis product.

No argument on Stellantis...my 2011 cummins packaging crate is the newest/last thing I'll own from that bastard child company.

2 years ago my wife drive a new sequoia and said she'd like an older model. Found a 2020 platinum with around 50K on it. It's been a good vehicle. Loves gas stations, but reliable. My only minor complaint is that the seats aren't that comfortable on long road trips. But again, minor.

To summarize what I have learned while shopping for a new full-size SUV:

They all suck. We are not in the good old days of vehicles.
