The ‘23 Sequoia has better fuel economy, but it’s a step backward in terms of cargo space, no more highly useful roll-down rear window, and a less useful transfer case. The 2nd gen Sequoia has the option of running 4Hi with the center diff unlocked, which basically gives you AWD on dry pavement. Highly useful feature. If you can afford the fuel and don’t care about updated aesthetics, the 2nd gen is the one.
I have my 2018 SR5 with the leather package and I love my truck!! It’s so comfortable and honestly the new one doesn’t justify the crazy price. That’s my opinion!!
I have a 2015 Sequoia and love it! I did look into a newer one a few months ago but the dealer was asking too much and offered me a laughable amount for my current one. So maybe Toyota would sell more if payments weren't the same as my mortgage! Who can spend 70K on a brand new truck right now?
The 2nd gen, although gas hogs, and hard to beat from a cost v. benefit prespective; especially in a market when new cars cost as much as a house . . .
The Sequoia works well for the late majority or laggard referring to innovation. Everyone loves the latest and the greatest until it stays in the shop for multiple days on end (while still making that payment) and driving a subpar rental. Then the Sequoia, with its outdated port injection, six-speed transmission, and outdated interior, starts to shine. Is the fuel mileage great? Absolutely not, but when you take the time to analyze other vehicles with a v8 and a 4.30 axle ratio, it’s on par fuel mileage-wise with those vehicles, and the second-generation Sequoia has about a 6-gallon fuel reserve. Regardless of the look of the exterior or interior. The interior room vs. length of the vehicle is impressive, and the reduction of body fatigue on long trips is fantastic. It is similar to the Lincoln Town Car, Cadillac Fleetwood, and Buick Road-masters. Lastly, for the people that want room, better tech/ interior, and fuel economy, it’s plenty of other options to choose from. However, for those of us that still enjoy a little naturally aspirated v8 growl and old-school character, this generation Sequoia gets the job done over and over again. Those owners will say the mileage isn’t great, but I love it, and I couldn't agree more.
I happened to get my hands on a 2022 sequoia 4x4. There is no better way to go on long trips. Very comfortable and it has averaged almost 21 mpg on 700 plus mile trips. Toyota has had 15 years to make revisions and correct anything that was once wrong with the Sequoia, and it is now at its best with its proven naturally aspirated V8 engine. Both engine and transmission have been proven to go the distance( 1,000,000 mile tundra) and pull( Space shuttle pulled by tundra in LA). Who now’s when the Sequoia will be this great again.
A 20 oz cup of coffee with a bagel breakfast sandwich costs 10 dollars plus tax. 💰 Let’s see what happens when you need to fix your hybrid battery engine and your turbo when it hits 125,000 miles. And enjoy you extra 5-10 miles per gallon btw 👍
At this point I’m looking for a clean 05-07 for preferably under 180k for around $7500. Wanted the 08 body style but not seeing anything worth it for me
I found mine 2018 SR5 with the leather package last November with 38k miles certified by Toyota for $44500. I’m ni NJ and I found it on a Toyota dealer from Michigan. After delivery and fees, I paid $48k. Very happy with it!!
The inventories are so low that you will pay through the nose for these new cars. When the MSRP is near $100,000 and gas is $7 to $8/gallon doesn’t help..
I like driving the Sequoia but I saw 10 mpg in the city with a 2014 and the engine & mpg haven't changed since then. At $5 per gallon, that's insane. You can go buy an older Toyota/Lexus V8 with over 100k miles on it for under 20k and it will still run great. You'll come out way ahead by buying that instead of a much more expensive and newer full size SUV of any make that gets better mpg. I don't know anyone that would pay 50-60k for one of these Sequoias only to pay another $400 or so a month in gas. Awesome to ride in, way too high total cost of ownership. Also, if you ever drive in the city, even a small/midsize city, trying to park this thing is aggravating. Seems like more and more parking spots are closer together these days. I'm a Toyota guy, have a family of 5, I'm big fan of these engines, but no way would I buy newer one. If a guy like me ain't buying...no wonder they're not selling. If you buy a Sequoia at all, buy an older one for cheap with higher miles for the lower TCO.
I drive a 2012 Sequoia Platinum which I bought new. They are bullet proof. My dealer has provided me the 2023 order sheet. Hence no more 2022’s. The fuel economy makes no difference to me. I have 255,000 km on it. It’s bullet proof. We are currently paying $2.05/Litre for fuel in central Canada. I also tow a 31’ Outdoors RV - Titanium travel trailer.
@@justinmartin8887 As an owner of a ‘12 platinum with independent rear and air ride I must completely disagree with you. Is your opinion based on experience with this truck? Or are you basing your opinion on general knowledge of live axle vs i.r.s.?
Everyman didn't do his research before posting this video. It's because toyota decided to stop making the 2022 model back in January. I tried to order one and I was told they aren't making them anymore.
In Canada they stopped taking orders in Q1 2022. They stopped manufacturing them this year in anticipating the fall release of the ‘23 Sequoia. There is no 2022 being made anymore.
I bought a 2013 Sequoia SR5 2wd on a whim, and it may be my favorite vehicle ever. I was searching for a 1/2-3/4 low mile pickup, and the Sequoia was priced significantly lower. It also had lower miles and MUCH less wear. With a few mods, it actually serves me better than a traditional pickup would have; and I have more internal locking storage. Blessings all.
Those trucks are indestructible. We drive them here in Europe on LPG. They consume around 13$/15$ on the city and 10$/12$ on the highway for 62 miles on LPG.
I'll tell you why... You can't find new ones. I live in Cincinnati and would need to drive 257 miles to Lincolnwood Illinois to find a new one. That's the closest new one per Autotrader. Right now I only see seven new ones on auto trader in the entire US. You can't buy what isn't there to be bought. It would appear Toyota isn't making them in significant volume.

In 2018 I was interested in purchasing a Sequoia but my local dealers did not have any new sequoia on the lot. I found one 1hr away but that dealership refused to give me any deal. "Take it or leave it" is how Toyota deals. I ended up getting an amazing deal on a 2018 Nissan Armada SL. I love that SUV. I still drive my 2010 Tundra, so I'll always have a soft spot for the Sequoia... So my point is, Toyota doesn't sell any Sequoias or Tundras because there are none available.
I drive an LS were having twins so I'm looking for a safe troop carrier SUV, a Sequoia. I like the truck bc it can be bought used with relative peace of mind, I think many Sequoia buyers are like me in that they don't want the latest hotness rather a tried n true vehicle thats why the used market is rock solid despite new car trend. I'm not sure on a year, anyone know a reason to prefer? looking '15 '16
As a patient, waiting buyer I have to say "LOOK OUT, HERE COMES THE NEW 4RUNNER, WITH MORE TOWING (than the old 4Runner)". I want to tow up to 8,000 pounds if I can and 7,000 will do. I think in 2023, with new 4Runner, Ranger, Grand Cherokee, etc. here or coming, there are more powerful smaller models to choose from. Gas matters, but as I do less than 5,000 miles a year, it's the desire to get something smaller for 1 person that motivates me.
People are downsizing again because of fuel prices. A new redesign is coming next year that offers better tech, new style, and better MPG. There is almost 15 years worth of used Sequoias that are largely the same as '22 Sequoias at a fraction of new car prices. Toyota no longer sells '22 Sequoias on their website.
All is wrong in 2022 old designs old Technology bored interior bad fuel economy but in the 2023 the game is changing the new sequoia is a big competidor
Nothing is wrong with it. Politics is driving it out. Theres no reason why gas is so expensive. Why would anyone buy a hybrid full-size suv? That's an oxymoron. Just buy a van at that point.

I would ask the question…….How many have been manufactured? Some manufacturers have stated the only reason for sales declines is lack of parts. Especially Honda. They’ve stated they can’t make enough to keep up with demand.
I feel like it could 100% be the gas prices. If you go V8 right now, that's a gas hog V8 to boot, it's because you half to have a Charger, Mustang etc before the transition to EV' s happens.
Fuel costs... Old school tech or lack of tech... New Sequoia around the corner... New one looks better/looks in general Cost is too high for the lack of features on an old platform... Lack of product... Lack of backing by Toyota...Sequoia has to be the least marketed vehicle they have... Fuel economy... Lackluster engine.... Better options for less.... Toyota relies too much on their name to sell product rather than design...tech...price....etc because they are always behind everyone else and people are less willing to overlook it now. Possible recession coming... etc etc etc Although with them messing up the new one you might see people buy the old one before its gone.
That’s actually a fairly easy answer. People will hold off for a new redesign Old one looks ugly and gets bad fuel mpg General cooling of the economy. It’s only going to slow down more Most other suvs are less expensive and offer more
Dude the fuel prices are insane. When I heard you mention the pandemic as the reason I almost died laughing. You can't seriously believe that! Biden got in office and day one stopped the keystone pipeline, stopped drilling, and refining of oil. We were leaders in energy and had a net positive, we could export energy, now we are energy dependent again. What trip.
Dude I was about to say the same, Biden pushing an Agenda that hurts the working class while pleasing the special interest groups that keep gas prices high in California, I'm just a hard working Hispanic, I'm just dumb and can't think for myself according to the Biden regime.
No one’s buying the newer 2nd gens because it’s basically the same as the ones they bought when the older 2nd gens first came out, but the newer ones costs more. And since they last forever, what’s the point on burning money on another one? 😂

Have had a v8 Durango Long ago, then now a v8 RAM. I think I can do a the V8 Sequoia. Already used to that mpg but would like to upgrade our travel comfort..
this is easy, the price...period....its overwhelmingly expensive for a non updated interior , features and such, plus why not spend 10 k more for a newer SR5 model
Not much major change between current generation and previous generation. People are keeping older sequoia because it last 200k. Why spend $70k or more on new one.
Yesterdays technology vs. tomorrows prices. The tech is tried and true, reliable for sure. But it is not a forward thinking vehicle; nope. Is that a bad thing, not necessarily; but is it bad for sales in a fast technologic segment, YOU BET!
well there are a few reasons it's not selling ancient platform gas guzzling V8 with no hybrid option new 2023 model, people are waiting for that fuel prices

I just saw the Nissan Z review from Sofyan Bey and thought who in the hell can afford a 55k without taxes? People are just broke rent is so high is taking peoples salary and imploding them. Then car and truck prices keep rising.
@@everymandriver no I haven't. To my knowledge, I only know about them & JD Power when it comes to car ratings & JD Power has become laughable. I recently saw that CR recommended a Chevrolet as it's alternative pick for an SUV & maybe the big corporations have got to them as well, which is a shame because they seemed to be the most trusted, independent products reviewer. I do also try to listen out for the other websites that you mention in your videos, it's nice to see some real information as apposed to relying on people like Scotty Kilmer, who only recommend Toyota or Honda. He does have huge experience but Toyota & Honda are expensive in the Middle East, so always need to be looking for cheaper alternatives. Really appreciate your videos, thank you.
The answer to poor sales is multi fold. I don’t trust consumer reports ratings and had a Toyota tundra that was highly rated and had been recalled for stalling problems and fuel pump issues. First of all there are few if any on the dealer lots. Second of all gas Mileage is horrendous compared to the other competition. The Toyota sequoias Design is butt ugly, as are most Toyotas. Great cars with excellent engineering but the designers use the ugly stick for the exterior. I was tempted to buy a 2023 Sequoia but I have been disappointed in the design and the pricing. There’s so many better opportunities, including the Jeep Wagoneer, the grand Cherokee hybrid 4XE, the Ford Expedition, etc. with gas prices at six dollars per gallon, $150 will fill up this large SUVs gas tank, And will give you a range of about 260 miles. I ordered a Jeep grand Cherokee 4XE plug in hybrid which has 58 mpg equivalent. I don’t need the extra towing capacity, 6200 pounds of towing is adequate and over 88 ft.³ of cargo space is sufficient.
they don't need a v8 to make power. in fact it doesn't even have much power. need to make the engines smaller and more fuel efficient. And this time instead of making it a plugin hybrid, they made it so that the hybrid powertrain provides more torque to make up for the v6. the 2023 redesign will finally kill the sequoia.

Its ugly. Little things matter. Trying to be posh and the new lights suck. And all the copycat stuff inside trying to look like fancy cars. Im looki g for the better looking older ones. will not get the overpriced wannabe fancy car.
Average peeps like me buy toyotas because their simple, easy to fix, easy on the eyes, with more space and enough seats. Take that away and put a higher price tag I might as well get a ford truck.
The 2022 Sequoia one thing that people want to avoid probably is the poor interior all the 2022 Toyota Sequoia as well as the best fuel economy and another big thing is space behind the third-row if you cannot have enough space behind the third-row this really no reason to buy a vehicle that big because it doesn't do his job
The ‘23 Sequoia has better fuel economy, but it’s a step backward in terms of cargo space, no more highly useful roll-down rear window, and a less useful transfer case. The 2nd gen Sequoia has the option of running 4Hi with the center diff unlocked, which basically gives you AWD on dry pavement. Highly useful feature. If you can afford the fuel and don’t care about updated aesthetics, the 2nd gen is the one.
And a proven v8!
I have my 2018 SR5 with the leather package and I love my truck!! It’s so comfortable and honestly the new one doesn’t justify the crazy price. That’s my opinion!!
I have a 2015 Sequoia and love it! I did look into a newer one a few months ago but the dealer was asking too much and offered me a laughable amount for my current one. So maybe Toyota would sell more if payments weren't the same as my mortgage! Who can spend 70K on a brand new truck right now?
I totally agree....I love toyota vehicles but not willing to sell my intellectual common sense for marked up prices and outdated vehicles...
The 2nd gen, although gas hogs, and hard to beat from a cost v. benefit prespective; especially in a market when new cars cost as much as a house . . .
I'll be buying a 2nd gen Sequoia soon. They can be had for under 40k and powertrain is good for over 300k miles.
The Sequoia works well for the late majority or laggard referring to innovation. Everyone loves the latest and the greatest until it stays in the shop for multiple days on end (while still making that payment) and driving a subpar rental. Then the Sequoia, with its outdated port injection, six-speed transmission, and outdated interior, starts to shine. Is the fuel mileage great? Absolutely not, but when you take the time to analyze other vehicles with a v8 and a 4.30 axle ratio, it’s on par fuel mileage-wise with those vehicles, and the second-generation Sequoia has about a 6-gallon fuel reserve. Regardless of the look of the exterior or interior. The interior room vs. length of the vehicle is impressive, and the reduction of body fatigue on long trips is fantastic. It is similar to the Lincoln Town Car, Cadillac Fleetwood, and Buick Road-masters. Lastly, for the people that want room, better tech/ interior, and fuel economy, it’s plenty of other options to choose from. However, for those of us that still enjoy a little naturally aspirated v8 growl and old-school character, this generation Sequoia gets the job done over and over again.

Inflation plus fuel prices. It’s simply not the time to be buying big ticket items. The new one is simply out of reach for most people.

I guarantee you the new twin turbo hybrid will only have half the reliability of the v8. Same with the tranny. The new sequoia is no longer as rugged. RIP.
Two things. 1. Gas mileage is horrible. Time for a hybrid? 2. Availability

People are waiting for the refresh too
Most likely yes.
Who wants to spend 80 k on new trucks this days???? The prices are ridiculous. We not all the people work for government making 400k a year??????
Have had a v8 Durango Long ago, then now a v8 RAM. I think I can do a the V8 Sequoia. Already used to that mpg but would like to upgrade our travel comfort..
this is easy, the price...period....its overwhelmingly expensive for a non updated interior , features and such, plus why not spend 10 k more for a newer SR5 model
The 2023 looks FANTASTIC
Cargo, no entertainment package, etc….gee let’s see
Not much major change between current generation and previous generation. People are keeping older sequoia because it last 200k. Why spend $70k or more on new one.
Yesterdays technology vs. tomorrows prices. The tech is tried and true, reliable for sure. But it is not a forward thinking vehicle; nope. Is that a bad thing, not necessarily; but is it bad for sales in a fast technologic segment, YOU BET!
Unaffordable, just like housing.
Maybe the looks, 1st gen >2nd gen in terms of looks.
well there are a few reasons it's not selling
ancient platform
gas guzzling V8 with no hybrid option
new 2023 model, people are waiting for that
fuel prices
Great information

I just saw the Nissan Z review from Sofyan Bey and thought who in the hell can afford a 55k without taxes? People are just broke rent is so high is taking peoples salary and imploding them. Then car and truck prices keep rising.
Nissan Z also requires premium fuel ! Forget about it 😂
He's a car blogger?
@@everymandriver The guy from RedLine Reviews on You Tube. Have a great day Dave.
What's wrong with consumer reports?
Maybe you haven't read the comments by previous viewers :-). People don't trust them.
@@everymandriver no I haven't. To my knowledge, I only know about them & JD Power when it comes to car ratings & JD Power has become laughable. I recently saw that CR recommended a Chevrolet as it's alternative pick for an SUV & maybe the big corporations have got to them as well, which is a shame because they seemed to be the most trusted, independent products reviewer. I do also try to listen out for the other websites that you mention in your videos, it's nice to see some real information as apposed to relying on people like Scotty Kilmer, who only recommend Toyota or Honda. He does have huge experience but Toyota & Honda are expensive in the Middle East, so always need to be looking for cheaper alternatives. Really appreciate your videos, thank you.
I think it may be the styling. It looks a little bloated and rounded off compared to the Land Cruiser and the 4Runner.
Buddy the new model is just out. Why make this video. The sales will pick up this one hasn’t been updated in a while.
The answer to poor sales is multi fold. I don’t trust consumer reports ratings and had a Toyota tundra that was highly rated and had been recalled for stalling problems and fuel pump issues. First of all there are few if any on the dealer lots. Second of all gas Mileage is horrendous compared to the other competition. The Toyota sequoias Design is butt ugly, as are most Toyotas. Great cars with excellent engineering but the designers use the ugly stick for the exterior. I was tempted to buy a 2023 Sequoia but I have been disappointed in the design and the pricing. There’s so many better opportunities, including the Jeep Wagoneer, the grand Cherokee hybrid 4XE, the Ford Expedition, etc. with gas prices at six dollars per gallon, $150 will fill up this large SUVs gas tank, And will give you a range of about 260 miles. I ordered a Jeep grand Cherokee 4XE plug in hybrid which has 58 mpg equivalent. I don’t need the extra towing capacity, 6200 pounds of towing is adequate and over 88 ft.³ of cargo space is sufficient.
Not just the gas but these cars are expensive used doesn’t make sense and the 2023 is 83k 😑
The Sequoia hasn’t had a good body design since 2004
$$$ is why
No can’t afford groceries mortgage and a 800 Toyota sequoia payment 😅
Few can.
I dont spend $100 on a tank of gas LMAO i use flex fuel and spend around 60 for a fullllll tank
It’s old without being classic or cool.
they don't need a v8 to make power. in fact it doesn't even have much power. need to make the engines smaller and more fuel efficient. And this time instead of making it a plugin hybrid, they made it so that the hybrid powertrain provides more torque to make up for the v6. the 2023 redesign will finally kill the sequoia.
Resell value.
Over priced ..They better get with the over priced economy

Why would someone would by the current outdated version when the new one is in view.
You talk toooo much but offer no good info.
People are waiting for the 2023 and all that ugly hard plastic.
Too old. That's why.
LOL
Toyota doesn't redesign any of their vehicles on the regular basis.
I love the car to spew out the smog to stick it to Californians and EV enthusiasts. This car gets worse gas mileage than my Porsche. It is awesome. I am driving my Toyota everyday in front of the Tesla. Let them liberals sniff my gas. I can drive with one spark plug missing with this car. I can absolutely decimate the environment with this car to irritate the Karens who are driving EV.

Its ugly. Little things matter. Trying to be posh and the new lights suck. And all the copycat stuff inside trying to look like fancy cars. Im looki g for the better looking older ones. will not get the overpriced wannabe fancy car.
Average peeps like me buy toyotas because their simple, easy to fix, easy on the eyes, with more space and enough seats. Take that away and put a higher price tag I might as well get a ford truck.
My 2010 Toyota Sequoia is the greatest truck I will ever own has 300k on it and funds like new
The 2022 Sequoia one thing that people want to avoid probably is the poor interior all the 2022 Toyota Sequoia as well as the best fuel economy and another big thing is space behind the third-row if you cannot have enough space behind the third-row this really no reason to buy a vehicle that big because it doesn't do his job
