That’s probably coming!

@Brian Lee it will be interesting to see what they will do.

That would almost compete with a suburban

That's a good one

After seeing the 3rd row review, it was already positioned back as far as it went. There in NO space for teens/adults if they’re 5 ft 7+. I was really trying to convince my wife that we could make this work for our family of 6. But dang, can’t seem to stretch it out. Unless they were to extend this Toyota “Grand Sequoia”! We would undoubtedly make it our family purchase! Hopefully Toyota is listening and knows that families want to truly adventure. NOT in a “Highlander” either.

Thanks David for taking the time to say that! I am so glad that i could share my car passion with you!

He never answers his own questions, it’s a click bait bait. In this case, is the Sequoia better than the Tahoe? Crickets!!!

@@soaringeagle7571That actually bothers you?😂😂😂

@@crumbsburner250 Apparently it bothers you so much that you had to comment on it 😂

@@soaringeagle7571 Far from it lil bro

I sell them and believe me bro, they look way better in person 🔥🔥

I saw one in person at it looks the same. I don't like the new front.

now he is...lol

Most won’t have it

🛑 complaining and go buy a Grand highlander, this is targeting a different set of audience and your most definitely not it.

​@@ronaldschwartz1856small hands? Lol

@@ronaldschwartz1856not really

That's a triple zonk. They go from an independent rear suspension, to a solid rear axle, so now you can't lay the seats flat. All this for $80k. Lol

One of the best too

What is a ghl?

@@mtbwolf7368 Grand Highlander, which for us, based on the video's and reviews will be a better fit for us. Now if the rumors are true (Dropping the Hybrid version of the Sequoia which will give it a fair amount more space, then we'd have to consider trading the Grand Highlander for one of these, I just really like the looks:)

Major screw up, they went with a solid rear axil, which the reason for the raised floor.

If they can make the shelf stronger it would be fine

For real. Was considering this as a replacement for my Volvo XC90 but the cargo area is terrible. Doesn't look useful for stacking heavy items (bags of top soil, etc).

My dogs won’t like it

Asian are small then us fat ass Americans

Thanks Sarah for letting me share the laughs and the SUVs with you. I totally understand your dilemma .

2nd row headroom for me was pretty bad.

this vehicle makes no sense, Captains chairs on already constrained platform in useable space? Better make it a 5 seater and delete the third row. Seems like you're better off with a 4runner in that case. This thing has 2 extra seats with all the compromises. I don't think people are going off-road and overlanding with a family of 7. Else you need something bigger anyways.

@@PWCDN I think they're just doing what toyota does best. Ride on old platform coat tail. Must have thought that making this look closer to 4R and Tundra to Taco will bring in more buyers without actually thinking about the fundamental of full size

@@PWCDN Agree with you. 2 rows with a full bench would be perfect.

@@omarcortes5754 While I do agree that the overall space in the trunk is not that great but I'd have to commend Toyota for introducing those different shelve levels. It should always be kept on the highest level which will not only make it easier to reach for stuff through back glass window but will also make it anti-theft since you'll be able to put important stuff underneath the shelve, hiding them from thieves.

Curious how much of the car is built in Japan? I bought a subaru and the window sticker said 99% of it was made in Japan. What about these?

@@jerm_ those are built fully here in San antonio, TX & the tundras. i build them. its 100% built here

@@Juliannn.n I believe it's close to 80% built in USA correct? Some parts are manufactured in Japan are shipped to US and are assembled here, but those parts originated in Japan. Still very impressive at 80%. Last time I checked a number years ago, Tundras had the highest percentile made in the US than any other manufacturer to include; Ford/Chevy/GMC.

@@THANOS_Disciple yeah correct the parts like bolts etc are sent from Japan and we manufacture it here & build them here. But yes I’d say 80% as well

Thanks Tom! Let’s go places.

@@RaitisRides ;D

You are not lying!

How do we know its reliable right now?

it's crazy to own something that big and it only sits 7 max (and not 8, anything sedan or bigger can sit 5 for perspective) and also have limited cargo space with or without 3rd row passengers because the seats are bolted on and are 3 inches thick folded down and stays above the floor. Just horrible design with extremely limited use case useless use case is compromise on everything 24/7/365.

​@@PWCDN You do realize that this is a common trend with higher-end trim levels right? Most of the time the lower-end trims in any 3 row comes with 8 passenger set up. Once you get into the mid-level and above they come with 7 passenger as option then standard on high-end trim levels. The Tahoe, Suburban, Expedition, Explorer, Armada, Highlander, the new Grand Highlander, Traverse, Durango, Yukon, Palisade, Telluride, CX-9, CX-90, Pilot, Escalade all follow this trend. I can keep going but that would be redundant. 7 passengers is fairly common in all of them when you opt to pay for one of the higher-end trim levels.

​@@PWCDN You have brought up a salient weak point in the Japanese product mentality, which is to tread the compromise path for characteristics. No sharp corners, no unreliability, no leaks, good solid engineering but always being bland. If you want a bland, compromise vehicle, you will end up with a Tesla or other skateboard Chassis EV, as it has the fewest moving parts, and simplest structure. For an ICE vehicle going forward, it better be very tailored to a purpose, like the Ford Bronco or Jeep; it pushes out into a set of uses very far, and it isn't compromised. This Sequoia is going to be a very expensive product, and i think you are right that it will not dislodge the Tahoe at $70k price point.

The hybrid setup ruined the new Sequoia. Same with new v6 two turbo replacing v8 in Lexus line up. Hardly Toyota's fault since it was force upon them by our tyrannical government.

another foot longer in the cargo area would be nice

Exactly they want it to stay but all the full-size suvs have more cargo space the new Lexus lx600 has no cargo space at all u gonna have to take the third row seats

Just buy a minivan!

Exactly! We're buying a Land Rover because of that!

Why not a Mazda G-90 or Honda pilot trail sport?

@@curiosityredpill7030 CX-90 isn't available yet .... soon - I do like them a lot and hope it is a successful model. Stopped by my Honda dealer yesterday and they only had new Pilots to drive with no stock. Everything requires an order. Getting a great deal on a GX460 for a vehicle that will last as long as I keep it or want to have it. If I go to sell, I will get more money back on a percentage basis vs just about any other vehicle on the road except a 4Runner and Tacoma.

@@BrickyardPowerMan okay np

Good choice. I would have done the same thing

Yeah dealers need to go bye bye, I want the freedom to buy direct from Manufacturers.

The msrp is ridiculous as well

Exactly! Before 50-60k could buy almost anything. Now, it is barely enough to get a mid-level luxury car.

You are so very welcome Wade

I agree with you 💯

I agree. I want a 4Runner badly but the interior needs help

Thanks for the extra info! I appreciate you tuning in!

Grand highlander is smaller

@@RaitisRides 👍

It is called an ESSENTIAL QUESTION. I pose the question, you the viewer watch the review and then at the end YOU answer it.

@@RaitisRides We watch for your opinions! You answer first and then we answer if we agree or not! Don't be neutral, ON THROTTLE NOT ON NEUTRAL !!!!

Live Q&A should be March 14th

@@RaitisRides Thank You

I am so glad that you like this one.,

I hope it was worth the wait.

You better believe it!

Yeah but that Twin Turbo V6 really pulls some torque and keeps pretty good fuel economy

power in the TT V6 is way better than the V8..trust me

It's more offroad oriented I feel like

@@issavibez394 so the 2020 trd pro isn't?

@aarlo11 it is just doesn't look as good and it's looks femininish

I said the same thing and DID IT! Got the Platinum. Love it.

@@earlychris124 congrats!!

You are so very right about that.

So a truck then..

@@RF-dw8ms Negative, useful cargo area that is covered and climate controlled. Unlike a truck
