That adjustable 3rd row is pretty cool.
Also, the sequoia has gone back to a solid rear axel.

The 2023 Toyota Sequoia Is Big, Brash, and Hybrid Only
Based on the same platform as the new Tundra and Land Cruiser, the Sequoia packs up to 583 lb-ft of torque from a twin-turbo V-6 with hybrid assist.

That's interesting, this article says it's a solid rear axle setup.
"...this generation Sequoia has dipped the second-gen’s independent rear suspension and reverted back to a solid rear axle."
On the MT article it says this....
"The Sequoia once again utilizes a fully independent suspension, though since 2008 more competitors have added this feature in place of a more traditional (and pickup-truck-like) live rear axle, including the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon."
It would make sense that it's a solid rear axle since it's based on the LC300 architecture.

I’ve always viewed the 3rd row as the kids row or the emergency adult row. If you need to use the 3rd row all the time get a Minivan, Suburban, or a Bus.

Watching it now. So far I'm impressed. I wonder what the price point is going to be?

Yeah, I like it. The video helped. Hopefully they have some nice color options. Our 2013 Sienna just hit 100k miles, wonder if I can convince the wife to drive one of these. 
probably $50-55K for the low end trims and $65-75K for the high end trims (TRD pro & Capstone). The 2021/2's started at 50K and went to $65K.

I've watched three reviews and Toyota nailed it. I went to the DC Auto show this past weekend and the 2022 Sequoia TRD Pro was underwhelming almost disappointing. I sat in a 1794 Tundra and then the Sequoia so that may have had something to do with it. But after watching the reviews they've course-corrected nicely. My wife wants a GX460 and I want something bigger like a used LX 570 / Land Cruiser or a new Sequoia. I love my 5th Gen 4Runner but with five people and all their gear, it was stressful finding a place for everything on our month-long road trip this past summer.

I feel like this is the reoccurring theme of toyota SUVs over the years- and again i have limited first hand experience, but, they sell on reliability not on accommodations. As was stated before, the domestic offerings are larger. My 100 series looks large at a distance but when you get up close, it really isn't that big of a vehicle in my opinion.
Or a vasectomy.

It's shown in the video, rear flip up window.

The videos I've seen it does not have the roll-down rear window, which is very disappointing. I was initially hoping for a redesigned v8 with more horsepower and torque but a twin-turbo v6 hybrid with more horsepower and torque is nice too.

I should add that I love my rear roll-down window on my 5th Gen 4Runner.
The pic of the cargo area setup posted above looks better but this looks pretty bad to me.
Does it not have fold flat 3rd row? Even the 300 has that now.

It doesn’t fold flat. This guys video shows how the 3rd row works.
I’ll have to see them in person, but if the cost of the Sequoia is getting close to a base LX600, the fold flat floor in the rear would be nice. I wonder what the sequoia looks like with the 3rd row removed?
