Like its namesake tree, the 2022 Toyota Sequoia is massive, stout and may last 100 years or more. And with its dated interior design and rudimentary modern tech, today's model actually feels ancient when compared to more modern rivals. Even so, exceptional utility, V8 brawn and Toyota's stellar reputation for durability give the Sequoia timeless appeal. And with its upgraded suspension and tough exterior styling, the TRD Pro offers a bit more stability and a lot more attitude.

2019 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 4dr SUV (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
Having looked at Yukon and Expedition options...very nice vehicles, when it came to a decision, I opted for tried and true. There's a peace-of-mind that accompanies the 2019 Sequoia Platinum precisely because it's old-school rock-solid dependable, has a smooth and powerful V-8, owns time-tested engineering in important places (a simple transmission and low axle ratio). Though it doesnt … have advanced much of anything like cylinder deactivation, turbos or a variable transmission, what it does have just works. 150-200k miles plus is the norm not an exception. The safety updates, functional cargo space and overall comfort just work. It's simple, not flashy or particularly attractive and doest stand out in a crowd. But years and miles from now, i'm guessing it will still be doing what it does without much complaint. That said, it would be nice to get 4-5 mpg better fuel economy, another 1000lbs of towing capacity, less sensitive steering and a larger info screen.
Outdated?

2019 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
I have read several reviews from automotive journalists as well as customer reviews calling Tundras and Sequoias outdated. That is exactly what makes them so spectacular (Toyota could definitely update the electronics and minor interior improvements) Toyota has made subtle improvements and changes to these models almost every year. Toyota does reverse engineering which means they are … trying to perfect what is already there. Sequoias and Tundras are the undisputed champions when it comes to durability, longevity and overall toughness.
Update: Sequoia is not invincible after all, we had to replace the belt tensioner at 181,000 miles at a cost of $209.00 with labor. Disappointing but not bad compared to my last 5 fords which ALL needed transmissions under 140k
Built to last, over built and bullet proof

2019 Toyota Sequoia Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
My first experience with the Sequoia was a used 2005 with 40,000 miles. Since it was assigned to me while I owned a 2004 Tundra purchased new, I whipped it like a government mule to see what it would take to break. 65000 miles later, a set of tires and some oil changes we auctioned it for $6500 while missing the back two rows of seats. My new 2019 Limited is an unbelievable value. The … look is solid while the ride is luxurious. Six speeds and they all work. Small screen? I have a large screen at home. So far I am averaging 16.7 mpg with the powerful V-8. This is a Land Cruiser solid as a Stryker and both the Land Cruiser and the Sequoia own the 300,000 plus mile club. Not by chance either. Crawl underneath this 6000 pound tough guy and observe the over built frame, suspension, drive train and ten inch clearance and you realize the competition is not even close. A gorgeous interior with all the latest and the minimum of things that don't and won't stand the test of time. I am most impressed with the quiet, comfortable ride sitting above it all while seeing everything on all four corners. My wife has never been happier. She stated a recent three hour drive went by without once shifting around the spacious captains chair to get comfortable.
Very Impressive

2019 Toyota Sequoia Platinum 4dr SUV (5.7L 8cyl 6A)
I totally disagree with the previous review. I love my Sequoia. We test drove almost every SUV on the market before deciding to purchase ours and we haven’t had the slightest bit of buyers remorse. The resale value is incredible. The interior is very comfortable. I highly recommend!
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2022 Toyota Sequoia, so we've included reviews for other years of the Sequoia since its last redesign.
