Toyota’s body-on-frame full-size SUV was recently overhauled and includes plenty of new technology. Chief among them is a new 3.4-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine paired to a hybrid drive system. It allows the big SUV to unleash an impressive 538 lb-ft. of torque.
Having this much thrust is great as these big SUVs excel in hauling people, cargo, and trailers. The Sequoia also features aggressive new styling that increases the vehicle’s truck cred.

Best Full-Size SUV: Testing 4 of the Biggest On Sale Today
Four big, body-on-frame SUVs enter the arena. Only one will win. It’s time to see which is the best full-size SUV.
Car hire services, ranch owners, extraordinarily large families, and those who tow small mountains pay attention—this comparison is for you.
We gathered four of the best large, body-on-frame SUVs currently on sale. These big sport utilities excel in hauling people, cargo, and sizable trailers. But more than that, the higher-end models are crammed full of luxury, technology, and comfort.
Managing editor Mike Schlee, freelance writer and photographer Jeff Wilson, and myself spent the week driving all four of this big-boned bruisers. At the end of the week, we were all in agreement about which SUV was best, but there were some surprises elsewhere in the ranks. Read on for the full story.
2023 Toyota Sequoia First Drive Review: Hybrid Power Makes For Big Improvement
Like the Tundra with which it shares its platform, the 2023 Toyota Sequoia was overdue for a new model.
Last time it had a full model change, the Large Hadron Collider hadn’t even smashed its first particles together. So here we are, a decade and a half later, with a ground-up redo sharing little more than the name with what came before.
This latest Sequoia is a very different redwood. A standard hybrid powertrain is very on-brand, though it makes for compromises no other vehicle in the large SUV space has to make. Can a classy interior and a suite of modern tech help break the Sequoia out of niche status? We spent a day with the lineup in Texas to find out.
