1) Safety issue.

1) Safety issue. The PCS of my Sequoia capstone did not function properly. There was no brake after the audio and visional warnings when my vehicle was at 34mph approaching the front car, which couldn't avoid the collision on 4-30, 2026. The vehicle was made in 2023. I bought in 2024 as a Toyota certified. 2) Poor performance in impact. The cost ($19,174.30) to fix the damage in a low speed impact (34mph) is 1/4 of a new one. 3) Disappointing customer service of Toyota legal department. My claim was irrationally denied by Toyota legal department, and my follow up emails and calls have not been answered by far.

We bought this with 21k on it.

We bought this with 21k on it. It's a really stylish looking ride. We understood the rear cargo issues folks are having when we bought the vehicle. It works fine for us. The car came with a tow hitch and we have a carrier for that area to hall extra luggage. The fuel economy doesn't compare to the ratings given by the manufacturer, but for the size and power of the car it's quite good. We average 18 to 19 all the way around.. The car rides great for it's size and is very comfortable and the seats are very spacious. So far we are very pleased with this car. One note. Every person in the reviews talks of wind noise at 55MPH. It surely is a problem Toyota needs to look into. We like the car so much that we are willing to overlook this one issue. BUT it is a real issue. This is where the luxury of the car disappears.

Loving My New '24 Platinum

2024 Sequoia Platinum.....We love it!! ( although not necessarily the hefty price tag!!!!) It has Plenty of power, lots of bells and whistles and very comfortable and safe. Advertised Gas milage advertised seems a little deceiving, but all in all a great vehicle!! Lots of fun to drive.

From your everyday cranky mechanic

My issue with this car is not the car itself. It’s the Toyota dealers that have them. (WHEN) These ROACHES think they found a Diamond they have no disgrace. They add 10k to the already overstimulated price tag. A Toyota (doesn’t matter which kind) should not cost $80k, $85k, $90k, $95k dollars! It’s disgusting. When paying nearly $100 thousand dollars. I’d rather a S class. I really would, I’m sorry. These prices are just absurd. And the reliability on a twin turbo hybrid engine? You gotta be out of your mind. After 120k miles. Run for your lives. Toyota is no longer Toyota. I am sorry to say.

Overall amazing, and I love my Sequoia... now.

Well, its been 3 months and I finally love this car, my black TRD Sequoia called 'Dahkness'. There are a few frustrations, and I am still overwhelmingly and increasingly thrilled. At first I was a little 'whatever' or 'its okay', but now I am actually pumped. She's grown on my despite some of her silliness. I have read a bunch of reviews and this is my first Toyota, so I have no basis for what other vehicles in their line-up handle like, but I'm overall happy with the handling, acceleration, and style in general. It drives like a truck, which I expected and can't complain at all. Although I have the TRD, I still think she is a much more family oriented car than an off-road legend. This thing does have an epic driver's screen that makes every other car you drive seem puny. I came out of a LWB Range Rover so I lost my massage seats and a couple other cool bells, so anyways, I don't think the seats are very posh for a really expensive car, but I suppose they aren't uncomfortable. Also coming from a Range Rover, a way more expensive vehicle that everything breaks on, this Sequoia is going extremely smoothly. No issues of any kind. The bad: -WHY THE xxxx did you all ditch the rear gate window that everyone loved! Now we have a glass hatch... horray - Mileage economy is criminally overstated - the 3rd row seat is completely useless and makes the rear storage also dismal and dysfunctional - The 'amazing' JBL system... actually stands for Just Below Lousy. Cranked alllllll the way up you can clearly hear the person next to you speaking softly. That shouldn't happen. I ripped it out the 2nd week I owned it and now I LOVE my sound system. - Dealer got 10k over sticker - I still don't have my second key in the mail yet, because somehow Toyota couldn't keep up with the key demand for new vehicles and new cars only come with one until supply recovers Don't buy this car if you have 4 or 5 children, don't get this vehicle because of it's advertised MPG economy, and don't get this because you think the JBL sound system will be impressive... Get this car because it is easy to drive, safe, reliable, and because you want to spoil yourself a little every time you start the car, without driving something as garish as a Range Rover. I'd change a couple things, but nobody gets everything. I love it.

Luxurious

It’s been an amazing SUV to own. It makes great power while still driving like a luxury vehicle! The seats are incredibly stylish and comfortable. The safety features also make me feel very safe behind the wheel of such a large vehicle. But it’s not hard to drive and the lane keeping assist works very well. Overall I’m very happy with my Sequoia!

7 Reasons it’s a bad time to buy a Toyota.

1. Dealers do not have any cars/trucks/SUVS to sell. 2. Dealers do not know what they are getting in the future. 3. Dealers do not know when they are receiving any cars/trucks/SUVS. 4. Dealers do not know what a vehicle is going to cost. 5. Toyota is raising prices 15% 6. You cannot order a Toyota. 7. Going to a Toyota Dealer is becoming an unpleasant experience. I wanted to buy a Toyota, however the above is what I ran into.

Where my dogs at?

This vehicle while impressive to drive, is not useful if you have large dogs. The rear hatch opens fine, but the 3rd row is a nightmare for a dog to jump in or out of.

A large SUV that’s functional and fun to drive.

Big and powerful, but responsive and fun to drive. Gas mileage is very good for this class of SUV. Cargo space, though limited by the size of the hybrid battery, is ample for normal family needs. Multimedia display is great. Plenty of towing capacity for a 23 foot Airstream.

I love my Sequoia

The first SUV I've ever had. I'm also a salesman, so I've driven a lot of SUVs. In my opinion, it's smooth and roomy with enough tech to satisfy 99.9% of people. Also, it's going to hold its value very well which made stomaching the massive MSRP a little easier.
