Pick your favorite trim. Please comment often as you watch the video. I want to know your thoughts on styling, front end, back end, PRICING, wheels, interior...everything! Thanks for watching! Jeff
Good content as usual this made it very easy to pick the trim. We knew we wanted the mid point in the lineup. However one very important question Jeff. Is the platinum trim comes with a bench seat in mid row?? I hate captain chair set up. 🥹
The Limited has the best front grill
Mpg of those cars won’t let me get them, fuel prices are high and I would not want to be on the merci of the government. 35 mpg like the highlander would be nice but 20 mpg is just to low. The highlander doesn’t has a useable 3 row unfortunately so that’s out of question as well. The same amount of people fit in a Mini Cooper like in the highlander. Only if the grand highlander would come through, I would think about it to buy it. With a spacious 3 rd row and 35 mpg.
Great Job Jeff!!! 🥳
The Capstone only has ONE interior color option???
The fact that he got all of em lined up and was able to achieve going through all of Em in the time slot he had. Respect!
Thanks I really appreciate it!! It was a lot of work but I had an awesome team helping me
The SR5 with TRD Sport package works for me. You indeed really did the heavy lifting comparing the different trims. Thanks Jeff for this content.
Thanks so much! I’m happy to help
Personally I would choose the PRO, but the wife would be happy with a SR5 with the TRD sport package just like the lunar rock …looks great for an entry level
It had better for that price. You could buy 6 , used low mileage 1st gen sequoia Ltds for the price of this base sr5, and they have leather, seat 8 ppl, full time 4wd Center lock diff, removeable 3rd row, 4.7l v8, and roll down rear glass. Think about that for a moment….
@@user-tb5ns7hc5i why would I need 6 old sequoias that may or may not have rust, mechanical, etc. issues that may or may not be reported. Not to mention the gas guzzling V8, lack of modern technology and safety. Sorry pal, you’re not really making a good case.
@@AA-vr8ez you must be a millennial. Lol. My point is that’s it super expensive. Sure it has tech and is luxurious, but it better be for this ludicrous price. An older used Sequoia is a fraction of the price, and in many ways, a more capable and still quite comfortable vehicle with a lot of still very reliable features. It’s a Toyota! Imagine what you could buy or invest in with the savings. Or some really nice vacations. Lol.
@@user-tb5ns7hc5i then u ll have 6 cars under the insurance and 6 vehicles which will require gas and maintance 🤣
Damn u must be rich!
Great review, I’m glad they made the sequoia basically a tundra with a hardtop 3rd row suv. I’m more into the Tacoma , rav4, 4Runner, but this suv is looking good.
Awesome review and great to see all the trims in one video 🔥I’m considering either the platinum or capstone when I’m due for a new car. Currently loving my 2017 Highlander limited platinum edition.
this video helped me decide that limited is for us!! thank you so much jeff!! SUPER helpful when we will probably be ordering our sequoia without getting to see it in person ourselves.
That’s a huge compliment Cait!
No other review is more convincing and comprehensive. Thank you you’re making choosing much easier than even visiting Toyota showroom.
Jeff, your presentation is superb!! I really appreciate your description of each trim. Thank you for not jumping into salesman format.
Very detailed and presented in a great way. Having the whole collection right there made it easy to see differences. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. Wondering how much does "TRD Sport" or "TRD Off-road" cost on top of the SR5.
Man, this was an awesome review. I haven’t enjoyed a review like this for a long time. THANK YOU
Fantastic and very informative video, Jeff! This side-by-side comparison is a must-see for any potential buyers. Limited seems to look the best (and balanced) to me. I know the prices are insane, but I will bite the bullet this time and get one. With the current inflation rate, it won't surprise me Tundra, Tahoe and Expedition will reach $100k soon.
Thanks Randy! I hope you end up getting one
Best and most information I’ve found on anything about the Toyota Sequoia. Thanks for making the video and putting prices and features. Good good job!
I absolutely love this comparison. No one does it, but it's so important to help making a decision.
😄 I liked this. It was funny and the first video I've seen with a comparison of all the models. Just what I needed. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video! Just what I wanted to see! Definitely going with the capstone, it is a show stopper for sure!!! Ordering mine just like that one, wind chill pearl with 2 tons seats 😍😍😍😍 Gorgeous!!!!
Thanks!! It was a lot of work to get this one set up and get all five trim levels together at the same time. But it’s so worth it to be able to help people. I hope you subscribe and follow along
Me too can't wait for the capstone to come out in my nearest dealer ..my wife and I are ready 👍
Awesome review and great to see all the trims in one video
Fantastic video! Love how you had each trim level lined up, very unique idea!
This is a great video Jeff. Many of us would like to spec a specific model (TRD Pro myself) but with high demand this may help buyers to choose an alternative model. Oh speaking of the TRD Pro I was told 1 - 2 years wait time.
Thanks Jeremy I appreciate it
Thank you so much for the video!!! Incredible and detailed comparison!
Woohooo glad you liked it!
No one else is doing this all trim level review, but you are. This is why you are great, that and the Adam Sandler reference. I get you.
This is a really good video Jeff. Do you know when they’ll be widely available at dealers?
does the TRD PRO come with power kick liftgate too ? or only the platinum and capstone?
Hi Jeff, Does TRD Pro have a large panoramic moonroof? I saw it with a small moonroof on the intro video.
Ik I’m a few days late but wow, what an awesome video Jeff!! Nice effort in showing us the new Sequioa and the 5 trims that it comes in. Personally I might go with a Limited but if I were super wealthy, I’d definitely go with either the beautiful Capstone or the tough TRD Pro!!
Thanks so much Vpattt! It was a ton of work and logistical planning to get this ready for you are but I’m so glad we did it.
Hey Jeff, is it possible to install TRD grille on other models? Thanks for the informative video.
Hi I haven’t researched it yet. I will ask around
Great review and love the way the new Sequoia looks. I’m sure it depends on the car seat brand but do you know if the second row bench in the SR5 is able to fit three car seats? I’m currently shopping around for a SUV that is able to. Thanks!
I have a 2014 SR5 4runner and can fit 3 car seats in my second row, the sequoia would fit them even better but I’d say it would definitely fit 3!
Great video! Do you know if you can get the white seats in a second row bench instead of captain chairs?
No that is not a current possibility sorry. Thanks for the compliment also and for watching
Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.
I appreciate that you got them all together !
I love the Platinum and Capstone . Thanks for the preview
Thanks, Jeff, for the detailed videos. So, the platinum does not have a DVD player like the 2016 Platinum? What is the tongue weight of platinum?
101% respect to dis guy. having dis all reviewed/ compared/detaile etc. awesome vid Bro! Keepitup.Godbless
Thanks so much Guian!!
Capstone is my choice. Thank you for this video. I have been debating which model I should choose. You just helped me . Can you add TRD off road package to the Capstone model?
TRD Pro was the only overall I liked but that Capstone back end definitely caught my eye. Loved the Happy Gilmore reference 😁❤
What is the wattage on the 110v AC plug in this hybrid truck?
If I could have them all, I would! All trims are very well put together. 👏
Is the SR5 available with the TRD Off Road Package or is the TRD Off Road only available on Platinum and up?
Great video sir! Appreciated! A quick question: is the sr5 reviewed in this video (4x2) 59000 dollar for the 14 inch screen and leather seats? Or it has a upgraded package comes with it, and how much that would be? Many thanks!!
No. It’s $59 without any packages.
Do they all come with heated steering wheel? The video was really nice. I liked the limited the most for me but I love the platinum-TRD grills the most
I didn't hear it mentioned but I may have missed it. Which trims come standard with the keyless entry button on the door handles? Which trims have it as an add on option?
Any info out there for the new tacoma and possible PHEV tacoma? If they do come out the a tacoma PHEV and more electric miles than the rav4 prime, Im definately getting one.
AWESOME!! So glad this video was dropped
Wow. That Capstone and TRD Pro is gonna kick some serious butt out there! 😂 Toyota has stepped up its Sequoia A-game BIG TIME!! 😳
Which one has the bottom metal cover?
First timer here, I like your detailed video Great sense of humor, thanks for sharing . I liked the cookie model it on my list of possible considerations 😱👌👌🏻👌😱
Hi I’m glad you were here watching. Thanks for the compliments I really appreciate that
Love it! Only thing I wish is that you could remove the 3rd row. But totally get it
I think I might go for the TRD PRO it just looks amazing and awesome I wanted to get the Capstone Version but the TRD PRO just Blew Me off with the Exterior front, the Wheels, and the Interior feels Special!
Love your effort man. Good work sir
Are you able to get a bench in the 2nd row for the capstone model?
Hey Toyota Jeff, do you know or can you find out if dealers will have a factory lift option for larger tires like with tundra?
Very rad video Jeff! Such a great comparison!
Thanks everyone subscribe to TRD JON
Great video. Very informative!!!
Great job! Like you you set them up one after the other, just maybe would like to know gas milage
Love the.platinum. Retractable running boards?
I want trd pro but I want the bench seats for 8 passengers not the captain chairs. I wonder if there is a way to select as option...
I love the Capstone trim level!
Does the platinum have ambient lighting?
Will the TRD Pro have a 7 seat option, or just the Captain Chairs?
Honestly the SR5 with TRD Sport package is best value 👍🏾
They're all lovely Jeff.. I like that the TRD OR and PRO packages don't have the front air dam/diffuser. Looks silly with it. Great video!! Keep it up. Still waiting for that 6th 4R :D
Thanks Vincent! I think we all are :/
Is there any way to get the Limited with captain chair 2nd row?
Awesome video. Thanks this helped me pick
I like the Capstone interior, but would prefer a Tan/Black combo instead of White/Black on those seats/arm rests. That White will show dirt/oil over time.
Do we know why there are front mud flaps on the lux trims and not the TRD and SR5? can you choose to not have them on the platinum and Capstone? My struggle is when you live in the north with a lot of snow, you end up "ploughing snow" with the front mud flap, as it just doesn't give a lot of road clearance.
Wonderful overview. Great job.
Can you get the capstone with 2nd row bench seat if not which is the highest model with 2nd row bench seat.thanks
Does the tow package have the electronic trailer braking system?
Is it correct that the limited, platinum, and capstone do not have TRD package add ons? Only the SR5
Awesome video. Is it possible to buy direct from Toyota (bypass dealer)?
Bench seat on 2nd row. Is it only available in sr5 and limited? Is that an option for Trd-pro at all? Also, when do you expect to begin ordering process?
Yes that’s correct per the build sheet. No pro option. I’m seeing sometime in fall.
Love the Platinum! Will they come out with a Nightshade Edition? I’m trying to decide if it’s worth trading in my 2020 Nightshade, but I don’t want to give up my all black! 🖤🖤🖤
Can you get a bench in the other trims if we don’t want the captain chairs ?
TRD Pro best looking front end but that Capstone luxury and wheel package is everything 🥹
Was wanting a Platinum but with the black interior, 7 seats and price I'll be getting a limited.
Thank you so much, this is best video about the new Sequoia.
Thanks!!
Hi Can I get leather seats on the limited one?
I'm looking to upgrade my 2016 4runner limited in a year or 2 thinking about going with the 2023 limited with the wheels from the capstone one 🤔
I like the limited. However, I wanted the 2nd row captain chairs to make it easier for kids to climb in back...but it looks like the cup holder and storage is in the way anyhow. How are the little ones going to get back there, stepping on that stuff?
Just remove them, bro
I like your review video, 1st time in your channel!! love it!!
I under stand that the rear axle is a solid axle as opposed to a multilink independent suspension. Is that right?
Dude you are hilarious, enjoyed all of these Sequoia Reviews.
Amazingly detailed descriptions. Having three dogs to Travel with and be comfortable, the eight passengers Toyota Limited should be the right choice.
Thanks for the compliment!!
The pricing is outrageous.
Is there any difference between Capstone vs Platinum as for as technology?
Beautiful designs not crazy about the turbo engines! Time is the teller of all truths
I loved the Capstone but which one would you recommend is the best one ?
You didn't mention which trim gets the heated and ventilated seats in the back; Can I order build the TRD PRO with bench seats that includes heat and ventilated seats or is that only with captain seats. Does TRD Pro gets this option because I didn't see the buttons there on the one there. Please we need a clarification because am thinking to order one. Thanks for the review
No ventilated seats in the back. Hate to say it but Trd pro only Captain chairs for now (I’m in the same boat)
tnx for the content man
Glad to do it appreciate you being here
Disappointed that it doesn’t have a roll down rear window. Praying that doesn’t disappear on the 4Runner. Favorite trim level is the Capstone….by far!
that Capstone interior blows me away it's so luxury and unique
It’s absolutely gorgeous and that windchill pearl paint is superb.
I love the obsidian blue premium.i love the inside and outside .it's beautiful in and out.i will wait it out and buy it after 5yrs.
Personally looking at the TRD Pro but I'm gonna wait and see what the next Tacoma redesign will look like and the price point will be. Good vid of all the comparisons.
This is really good way to compare apréciate it
this dude is doing great job reviewing.. props
Thanks Mainman!!!!
Great review Jeff !!!
Thanks Min!!
Great job 👏🏾
We need this same comparison video for the Tundra
I must say that was an Awesome Review🤗🤗 No comment on The Running Man dance😂😂. My pick is the Platinum.
Thanks!! And yes it’s best not to even pay attention to my dancing. It’s distracting even to me ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Tell me if I’m wrong but if I get a limited 4x4 with the trd off-road package, panoramic sunroof, tow technology package, and JBL premium audio… wouldn’t I be very close or over the price of a trd pro? The trd pro has all this standard with the exception of the panoramic. All this to get a 2nd row bench seat... Toyota I may just wait till you make a 2nd row bench in the PRO to buy.
