Update: got the truck, and thankfully it was exactly as described. So far very pleased with it and thought I'd offer some first impressions after a couple months of daily driving. General: drives/feels like a truck much more than I anticipated based on my experience with the new gen Sequoia...

Update: Did some more research on the trim levels/options/packages and found exactly what I wanted: 2024 Limited w/TRD OR package,14k miles, single-owner, from the southern US/clean, mesquite smoke, gas only 4x4, crewmax with short-bed. The engine issues may still affect a small % of the 2024...

It seems the recall for the troublesome engines covered pre-2024 models, but there still seems to be issues reported for the 2024, but at a low frequency. I'm prob going to go with a '24 Limited w/ TRD OR package -- comes in the color I'm after and checks all the other boxes. There's a few for...

Nice truck! And thanks for the feedback on it -- I've got a '23 sequoia and noticed the same thing regarding fit and finish unfortunately.. I'm going to prob leave the truck (once I have one) all stock until its time for new tires, then try to get the TRD 3" lift unless I talk myself into a...

I really wanted to go prior gen with a V8 but it's hard to find good ones with the configuration that I want also with very low miles, and since I typically keep vehicles for 20+ years, I decided on the newer gen for better or worse...

Hello everyone, I'm in the market to replace an old Lexus LS with a '21-24 lightly used Tundra and having never owned one or knowing much about Tundra configurations, I'm hoping to get some info and advice from anyone knowledge about them. Buying criteria: - 2021-2024 year model - Smoked...

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've had the new sequoia and wanted to provide some more feedback/updates on it. Overall, zero mechanical problems after 14k+ miles. Gas mileage once engine/drivetrain was 'broke-in' went up a little -- still awful in the city/hills (12-15 mpg) but good on...

THANK YOU! I just tried it and it worked as you said. I guess it wants to 'know' that the key is not at risk of being locked in the trunk, so it waits until the key is out of range before closing -- makes sense. Thanks again.

Follow-up to my previous post regarding feedback on the new Sequoia -- Really enjoying it still, if not even more, the longer I've been driving it. Here's a some more observations now that I've had a few thousand miles with it: - Gas mileage (as noted before, quite a bit lower than sticker...

Regarding the hybrid/gas-mileage -- exactly/agreed. Perhaps it was naive of me to believe the 20+ mpg rating. If it was only a couple mpg lower than expected it wouldn't be a big deal, but I'm seeing more than a few lower mpg, and the higher mileage expectation was one of the reasons why I was...

Hi everyone, I just joined the forum to provide some info/feedback on the new sequoias because I finally got one and this thread seems to be one of the only/best discussions about them that I could find online (I've been reading it for a long time while I was attempting to buy one). I hope the...
