The Next Big Thing: New 2023 Toyota Sequoia

All 2023 Sequoia’s feature the powerful twin-turbo V6 hybrid i-Force Max powertrain which will produce 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque. i-Force Max isn’t just big on power, as this cleverly engineered powertrain features a unique motor generator within the bell housing between the twin-turbo engine and the 10-speed automatic transmission. This design helps to provide both maximum performance and superior efficiency. The 2023 Sequoia comes available in 2WD or the available part-time 4WD on the SR5, Limited, Platinum and Capstone grades. The part-time 4WD system relies on a transfer case, controlled via a lever on the center console to elect between 2WD, 4WD High and 4WD low. TRD Pro is only be available in 4WD.

Hitting the Open Road

The 2023 Sequoia features an independent front suspension that adopted a new rack-mounted electronic power steering system for improved steering feel. A modern multi-link rear suspension is employed to offer a smooth ride and create opportunity to add the available Load-Leveling Rear Height Controlled Air Suspension and Adaptive Variable Suspension for those who tow regularly. Since full-size SUVs need to be able to do it all, towing trailers, boats or RVs is high on the list of demands! The all-new 2023 Sequoia delivers in that department too with an impressive 9,000-pound maximum towing capacity. That is nearly a 22% increase over the prior generation! If towing is an intimidating thought for you, don’t worry! Towing becomes less daunting thanks to impressive technology available on the Sequoia. The Tow Tech Package, available on all grades but standard on TRD Pro and Capstone offers a suite of features that include Trailer Backup Guide to aid in backing up the SUV with a trailer, and Straight Path Assist which helps provide steering control to keep the trailer straight on its intended path when backing up.

A range of seating and cargo configurations add to the versatility of the 2023 Sequoia. Depending on the grade, second-row passengers get bench seating or captain’s chairs, either of which recline for added comfort or to accommodate larger cargo items. The third-row passengers benefit from a spacious reclining backseat with available power folding, but the third row also gets on of the most noteworthy new features on the all-new Sequoia: the exclusive Sliding Third Row with Adjustable Cargo Shelf System. This segment first feature allows the third row to slide with 6 inches of adjustment range. The third row can also fold down to allow for the different storage positions of the new system. The view around this impressive new SUV is also improved due to the plethora of cameras which display multiple exterior angles that are all viewable from the available 14-inch touchscreen or the available digital display rearview mirror. Those trailering will appreciate Panoramic View Monitor, which displays a top-down view of the SUV and the area around it. Multiple viewing options give even more peace of mind when pulling a trailer.
