  • The redesigned Toyota Sequoia got a whole lot of off-road capability thanks to a new TRD Pro model, so we decided to put it head-to-head against another three-row off-roader: our long-term Chevy Tahoe Z71. Will the Sequoia and its hybrid powertrain hold up against the Tahoe’s rumbling V8? Join Edmunds’ Brian Wong to find out the results.

    The Sequoia TRD Pro proved to be capable and shockingly fun to drive without a doubt, but opinions on its bright orange paint job were more divided. What do you think about the Toyota's loud styling? Let us know in the comments below!

      Ok, so sad Duramax 6 cylinder isn't available on Z71 trim. Regarding offroad abilities (medium and heavy offroad use), the Toyota seems to be above Z71/AT4 GM twins and Ford Expedition Timberline.
      Rear IRS arms on GM twins are way too exposed to damages very bad design.

      About 2 yrs ago, we gave up on the big 3. This is not a good comparison because the tahoe has a pathetic 5.3L. And the way it was climbing that hill. It didn't look like it has the RPO code of G80... being a rear lsd/locker. Being a Z71 it probably does and didn't appear very well on camera..... I was hoping better interior for the Sequoia. The purpose of a large vehicle is for more comfortable seating options along with storage. I have a 120lb dog. And for him to have to jump that high above that stupid shelf system. And it's also further for him to jump down, especially when he gets old....overall great video....For those Toyota engineers... Make a Suburban size Sequoia.... you'll have more room for the batteries, and give us more cargo storage

  • @martinmcintyre7623
    @martinmcintyre7623 Před 7 měsíci +17

    The compromises to the third row and storage behind the third row are due to the rear solid axle, more so I think than the battery pack. What you have here is a 4Runner for people who think that the 4Runner isn't big enough. That solid rear axle provides much better articulation than an independent rear suspension, and is more durable and reliable. This vehicle is for people who simply want the biggest truly off road capable SUV. It isn't the nicest full size SUV nor the cheapest. The competition sells because the biggest adventure for those buyers is the trip to Costco. It is funny to note that the last generation Sequoia actually had an independent rear suspension. The current Sequoia actually was never going to happen, and Toyota made a decision late in the development of the Tundra to morph an SUV out of that platform.

    I understand there were supply chain issue but this comparison would have been more fair had the Tahoe been equipped with the 6.2 and off-road package which includes ELSD, air ride and magnetic ride dampers. Would have made a big difference in the Tahoe’s off-road capability and ride. Still undercuts the Sequoia by a few thousand dollars with those options.

    Tahoe all day every day! I’d option it with the 6.2 and the G80. Then I’d go aftermarket with the fox shocks and get some 17s with bigger off-road tires. I love the way those trucks drive with the 10 speed and that v8. Plus you can always upgrade the engine with a cam, supercharger/turbo, or even just a tune and customize it any way you would like. Seems as if it would be hard to do that with the Toyota.

      Fox doesn't offer anything for the Tahoe/Suburban so you're stuck with King (not that that's a bad thing, but they're having inventory issues it seems) and the G80 is dead. They replaced it with an electronic limited slip unit that's only available if you get the package with air suspension.

    Toyota decided to phone in the Sequoia after developing the new Tundra and basically just put a third row and an enclosed cab on the Tundra. However, GM, Ford and Jeep all learned a couple of generations ago that customers demand more than that from their full-size SUV. They demand a unique interior, spacious and uncompromised seating and cargo area, an automatic AWD system and an independent rear suspension. All things the Sequoia lacks. The Sequoia's powertrain and off-road chops are very good though. However, if you do serious off-roading, you'd probably prefer something smaller and more maneuverable like a 4Runner or Tacoma.

      Yeah, when it comes to Toyota's hybrid power train that should be the least of your concern. They are essentially bulletproof at this point. Many people still drive 10+ year old Prius just fine. Only thing we have to wait and see is how this 3.4L twin turbo holds up after 10+ years, 87 Octane, and being pushed hard for extended periods of time. As well as to mention oil change frequency by its users. It is Toyota so I am sure they factored this. I don't doubt them either since its Toyota after all.

  • @mobregonjr
    @mobregonjr Před 7 měsíci +12

    The only reason to buy an suv is to carry more passengers. If it can’t do that it efficiently it becomes impractical. The sequoia is over $10,000 more expensive which would easily allow you to option up the Tahoe with the larger engine and off road capability package and have the sequoia beat in comfort and off road capability.

  • @zellodavis8453
    @zellodavis8453 Před 7 měsíci +17

    This almost isn’t worth watching. They failed to mention that this Tahoe clearly doesn’t have the off road capability package, which includes an electronic limited slip differential that is excellent. TFLOffroad demonstrated this in several episodes, with the Tahoe and Yukon AT4.
    The off road capability package also included air suspension. The air suspension is t just air suspension, it’s magneride, so adjustable and intelligent. It would have been a much better off road ride.
    Tahoe/Suburban are great in the sand, I’ve had mine with the eLSD and air suspension in the sand a few times. These guys are biased as fuck.

    However, The TRD is known as work horse. The Z71 for me is for those who don't want to spend too much on the Premier. If I had to spend $80k on an SUV, it will stay on paved roads for the most part and the occasional snowy roads in urban areas.
    I'll take the cheaper , spacious, comfy and beautiful Tahoe Z71 for the duration of its warranty. Thank you.

  • @WeekendWandering
    @WeekendWandering Před měsícem

    Team Tahoe here! We went for the Z71 package for when we want to take it off road and into some more technical areas for camping. We do have the magnetic ride and air suspension which is an upgrade that I'm glad we opted for. Its only been offroad twice and it was VERY mild, but I'm hoping we will really get to put it to the test when we go on our mountain trip this year.
    The main use for our tahoe is for traveling and road trips and the interior of this thing is a dream! Its nice to know we have decent off road capabilities though should we need or want to use it for that.
    Great video!

    As a parent of a family of five, the cargo limitations as well as the less than adequate passenger space in the Sequoia would be a deal breaker for us. Granted the Sequoia is an attractive SUV with undeniable off-road capabilities, but it is just not the right SUV for a larger family. The Tahoe on the other hand offers more than enough cargo room , performance and comfort for road trips, ski weekends and the unavoidable weekly Costco run. Tahoe for the win.

    So far I haven’t had any issues with the suburban, it has a been amazing to have the amount of space I have. It is pretty like having a truck but with the ability to carry more passengers.

    I'd be curious how the Expedition Timberline and Wagoneer compare. I agree the Tahoe should have ACC at that price, and I would've assumed a Z71 came with a rear locker. The Sequoia seems overpriced, but everything does these days. I haven't been in one, but I've been in a couple of new Tundras, and was disappointed by how cheap the interior felt and how harsh the ride was compared to my Ram.

    I recently bought a 2024 Tahoe RST (didn’t have a Z71 available). I traded in my 2022 4Runner for it. I really like the Sequoia, but the Tahoe is bigger and I prefer the naturally aspirated V8. I think it’s more than capable to get families to their camping site and more. Less than 1% of sequoia owners are climbing steep hills or rock climbing with it. You’re paying the “Toyota tax” too on it. I’ve owned 2 5th gen 4Runners so I like Toyota, but I won’t pretend they are gods in auto manufacturing. They used to do powertrains really well - jury is still out on the new hybrid setups in their trucks and SUVs.

That system causes nothing but problems especially when you get to higher mileage. Valves, valve guides etc are all different. Personally would not buy the redesigned Sequoia for lots of reasons.

    For my family looked at the Tahoe, Expedition and Sequoia. Kept going back and forth since the Sequoia is so much nicer to drive, but definitely a bit more cramped in third row. Strangely my 14 year old 6 foot son thought the Sequoia with the bench style second row was the most comfortable. The Tahoe he had less leg room behind the driver myself at 6’4”. As well as the Tahoe driver’s seat did not go far enough down or steering wheel far enough out or up for my legs to be out of the way of the steering wheel. So I wound up buying the Sequoia, the Expedition was better driving than the Tahoe but overall my two kids and even my wife liked the Sequoia better.

    I’m a Toyota guy, but it would be hard to imagine a twin turbo hybrid being as reliable and durable as a standard v8 in the long run.

    I love Toyota, I own a Sienna ( looking to trade it😂), but South East Toyota is price gouging all their vehicles. I would definitely get a Tahoe over the Sequoia, just based off the price difference. Chevy's engine (V8) are also tried and true, vs the hybrid V6 which is brand new!

      Hybrid is by no means new to Toyota, the pioneers of the Hybrid. Note a 15%-20% fuel savings over Tahoe and see which ends more efficiently; lastly if you don't spec Toyota, price won't be this significant.

    I'm tired of manufacturers adding the electric motor output with the ICE output to get total output. You can't get to that number because the motors don't provide any assistance under full throttle when the ICE is revving out.

  • @kaivonmortazavi8656
    @kaivonmortazavi8656 Před 6 měsíci +1

    I drive a 2nd generation Sequoia. I understand you were using the Z71 you already had but for a more valid comparison you should have compared the Tahoe with 6.2L and adaptive air suspension for a more valid/closer comparison as the TRD has everything you can get on one and your Tahoe lacks some features. It will be more interesting next year when the Z71 is equipped with the LZ0 diesel and all that low end torque plus all the updates to the suspension and steering and the tech inside. I think it will blow the sequoia away in most categories. Where you lost me is when you said the Toyota is more refined on the road - WHAT? Sequoia with its solid rear end now just simply sucks in terms of ride comfort as compared to the 2nd generation and has a jittery pickup truck ride (great for towing though), and very,noisy. Again, you need to ride Tahoe 71 with adaptive air suspension. I do agree that the Sequoia third row seat and cargo space is just a total disaster……. They try to pass it off as flexible cargo configuration and I have to wonder how much the marketing people were laughing when they came up with that term….and I have driven a Toyota for over 25 years and love the overall brand but I think the Sequoia was a swing and miss (and I wanted a new one so badly). I haven’t had a GM for over 40 years and will be eagerly waiting to test the 2025 Z71 with LZO option.

    Was initially going to buy a 2023 Sequia TRD Pro but the rear cargo setup made me go with a 2023 Suburban 5.3L RST. I should have followed my heart and stuck with Toyota as the Suburban has been a nightmare and I haven't even hit 1000 miles. The entire driver side paint has failed, it appears an issue with the clearcoat. GM is pointing the finger at the dealership and the dealership is pointing the finger at GM. No one wants to take responsibility for the issue. Needless to say, once I get out of it, I am going to purchase a 2024 Sequoia. I have had nothing but horrible luck with American automobiles. Don't get me started with Dodge/Chrysler. Junk. I have owned countless Toyotas, not one has ever given me an issue!

    I think the #1 thing that people buy these big SUVs for is passenger space and cargo space. Yet the new Sequoia failed in this area. I can’t believe Toyota chose this design. Independent rear suspension, longer wheelbase, longer body, non-hybrid iForce MAX 6 cyl, would have enabled them to build in competitive passenger and cargo space. At least they’re still still selling a few of them. Some XL SUV buyers don’t need the third row or a ton of cargo room, and instead buy them because they need to tow something big and don’t want a trailer or just simply prefer the way Full size SUVs drive (like me).

    I feel like the Tahoe could've made the uphill. I get it, the point is the Toyota's better, but still. The Tahoe got a raw deal here. The video ultimately feels like an ad for Toyota's hybrid powertrain, and it isn’t that big a deal. Ford already has a twin-turbo V6. It was only a matter of time before someone tried a hybrid, and it was probably going to be Toyota. It's probably perfectly serviceable. Really didn't need a test to confirm. Probably doesn't save enough gas to be worth it, but will serve owners well. Make your choice. It's a full-size SUV either way.

  • @Jassman3536

    The Ford Timberline is a better option when compared to the TRD Sequoia off road. The Sequoia is a let down on a few items such as cargo room and height of rear floor. The driving experience overall was good but just not as impressive as the Timberline.
