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.

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.

Actually, according to the EPA, it gets 22 mpg combined, which is much better than the old V8. And I don't care what Sam got. I'd trust the EPA and manufacturer's testing more. All of my vehicles have gotten very similar to the EPA ratings.

Rides better, better fuel economy and more comfortable overall.

@@Weatherby406 “with great power comes great responsibilities “ Turbos have never been reliable from the start. Especially in SUV’s , where it tackles obstacles and high or low temperatures. Turbo’s compressed power can wear out overtime. Currently 850,000 Toyota tundra and sequoias are being recalled due to a part failure in the engine. So yeah as I quoted earlier great power and great responsibilities. By increasing the power the reliability of brand such as toyota has declined since 2 years. They are not able to maintain reliability in the Land Cruiser and LX600 in the middle east too. The TTV6 engines seem to have a flaw in which Toyota themselves don’t know. I am from Middle East and prefer natural breathing as a stock vehicle. I drive a LX570, yukon Denali and a Sierra primarily for off roading.
