@@SamCarLegion The results from the videos are rather unclear then, cause like he said each race was different. Cool video but it didn't look like both the Toyota and the Defender were 100% every race.
That was so bizarre to me too. The initial races with the Defender had the Sequoia’s power appearing to fall off a cliff. But it performed as expected with the driver change.
I think the Yukon Denali and the Sequoia TRD Pro are the two best full size SUVs in the market. You can't get better than that. (not considering luxury ones like Escalade)
@@Weatherby406 It's true. A guy did a video on his 2014 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi and he did a couple mobs and he got 27 mpg on the hwy!! The Titan 5.6 v8 gets better mpg stock then a Ram 1500 5.7 hemi stock. It's very possible!!
Didn’t expect the Toyota to win anything but I was surprised. The Toyota shows the benefit of the hybrid system, while the Defender has to drop gears and spool the turbo, the Toyota can use its electric power to cover up those gaps giving it constant power from very low RPM’s
@@amarbinay6654 fr yeah, the V8 in the yukon would at least catch up more to the turbo engines if it didn't have that cylinder deactivation crap, i am a fan of gm, and I currently have a 04 trailblazer 4.2 I6 577k miles factory engine and transmission, cylinder deactivation in these newer stuff will help ur transmission blow up sooner and faster, my 2015 escalade had this and I removed it as soon as I bought the car, 147k and going strong! factory engine and transmission
@@socialmediaclips6011 according to consumer reports GM v8 with EPA norms and fuel saving technologies is rated worst among the reliability chart. Their dealerships r packed with new premature breakdown v8 vehicle line-up all thanks to the GM corporation to make good profit out of it
You get to speed very quickly but After 110 mph the toyota slows down due to the speed limiter, thats the only way there're catching up in the end...I know beause i got one! That twin turbo 6 is no joke!!💪🏾
Nice comparison! I looks like a matter of the shift down speed. Usually defender’s ZF 8 speed is the best in class but could be a unique setting for defender character. But the engine sound… what a lovely sound defender is!
It had me wondering if they were trying to make it a close race? Cause at first the Defender was catching up top, then when they switched drivers the Toyota pulled up top.
It might be yeah. However they might've switched 4wd/2wd. The limiter would've kicked way earlier and cut off the power in 4wd since it's only a part-time system
Worst technology was cylinder deactivation, put an afm disabler in the gm and keep all 8 running all the time and save your engine, your fuel mileage wont suffer much. I had a 2010 silverado with the 6.2 vortec that ran all 8 all the time and it averaged 12l/100km. Afm is all problems, wipe cam lobes and take out lifters like crazy.
did they conveniently leave out the fact that the sequoia is limited to 108mph from factory or did i miss that part? you can clearly see it in the roll races, why not mention it?
My daughter has the Hybrid Sequoia Limited and she said she gets 21mpg religiously. And it looked and sounded like you guys let off the Sequoia near the end of each race to make it look like the Defender kept it close.
You might have something wrong with the Denali. I was in market for big SUV and I drove as many as I could. I did like the Sequoia TRD Pro but it didn’t sound good and cargo space was amazingly compromised. I ended up getting Tahoe High Country and it was well above the Sequoia in luxury and performance. The 4 exhaust pipes and sound of 6.2l V8 is so much sweeter than the Toyota. Nothing sounds like GM 6.2l V8!
All hail the good ol' pushrod LS/LT V8 motor from GM. Forget about the rest - this is a pure NA V8 with none of those overrated gimmicks and us definitely less mechanically worrisome in the long run, proving to be more durable with the longevity of these 6.2L and 5.3L V8 engines. Rides better, better fuel economy and more comfortable overall.
Toyota Sequoia's initial launch seems much better than othe two SUVs. But all these 3 are heavy off-roaders. so it would be better to put these 3 vehicles hard off road terrain and compare the off roading capability 😉
Owned a sequoia and traded it back in. The vehicle is great but the cargo room is garbage. The hybrid battey is under the 3rd row so you cant lay the seats flat pretty much making all that space useless
I’d take the Yukon for reliability and looks. The sequoia is ok, but the TRD Pro just looks stupid to me. The Limited and Capstone are slightly better, but nowhere near as classy as the Tahoe and far more complex drivetrain. The Defender is a charactercher of itself and has legendary Land Rover “reliability” lol.
I've always been a fan of LR Defender styling. Just not their reliability...lol. If only I could get a Defender with Toyota engine and reliability. That will be a dream!
Launching in 4wd high and turning the traction control and stability control off provides the best results in the gm trucks. TCS and Stabilitrak on makes them sluggish in the first couple of gears.
Vehicles get more expensive due to technology used in them I'm sure a base model of any car is 15k less than the fully equipped version.. and a v8 charger in 2021 is still the same if it's a regular v8 in 2024 ..also depends on the state I've seen a new 2023 v6 dodge challenger foe 23000 ..woth 7500 rebate..
That Toyota got off the line like a rocket..everytime
I get 15.3 mpg in my Sequoia because it’s impossible not to drive it fast. It’s so peppy.
It’s a sleeper for sure.
@Charlie1821 nice I have a 2024 PRO as well will be doing a review soon. But yeah I get about the same MPG as you.
That hybrid electric motor assist launch in the Toyota is fantastic
So the Toyota ditches the V8 for a turbo six and then proceeds to get way worse gas mileage than a V8. 🤯
There are some trade-offs, now the Sequoia is actually decently quick and is tunable because of the turbo.
Do you have the stats to back that up? I'm too lazy to look it up.

Good to see the NA V-8 hanging in there….and got better gas mileage…and no turbos to worry about
I have the Escalade and it does around 11-15 mpg on normal drives but can go up to 17 on long road trips so it’s not exactly good gas mileage
Until they get over 5000 ft elevation...
I have a 23 denali xl with the 6.2 and live at 7k feet. I get 12 mpg..doesn't matter where I drive or how it gets 12.

since nobody keeps their cars stock, let’s get a twin turbo Tahoe vs a max effort ecoboost and see who’s the real winner 🤣
Sequoia all day vs lower quality less reliability of the other 2 ..
Yukon and suburbans are insanely reliable cars, probably even better than the new Sequoia tbh. Several over 400,000 miles.
Sorry, not paying $70k+ for a V6 that's juiced to the max and will be spitting out connecting rods in 5 to 10 years.
