2023 Toyota Sequoia, TRD Pro Priced — Prepare to Pay a Pretty Penny
The 2023 Toyota Sequoia is going to remain atop the brand’s SUV ladder, with a planned sticker price based at $58,300.
The TRD Pro version, which is top-of-the-line and off-road-oriented, will start at $76,900.
Should you opt for a TRD Pro, you’ll get 33-inch Falken Wildpeak all-terrain tires, 18-inch BBS wheels, skid plate, dual exhaust, locking rear differential, Fox shocks, a LED light bar, and LED marker lights.
In between these trims are the base SR5 (includes LED lights, flip-up rear window, 18-inch wheels, privacy glass, black grille with chrome surround, heated front seats, 12.3-inch instrument screen, power moonroof, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), the $64,700 Limited (20-inch wheels, chrome accents, gray grille, cooled seats, heated steering wheel, power third row), the $70,900 Platinum (premium LED lighting all around, 20-inch wheels, chrome mesh grille, panoramic glass, digital rearview mirror, and premium audio), and the luxury-oriented Capstone trim, which includes 22-inch wheels and costs $75,300 to start.
TRD Sport and Off-Road packages will be available, depending on trim. The TRD Sport package will be available on the SR5 and add Bilstein shocks and 20-inch wheels, while the TRD Off-Road package will be available on four-wheel-drive SR5s and Limiteds and it will add a skid plate, off-road Bilstein shocks, and a locking rear differential.
Toyota’s Safety Sense 2.5 suite of advanced driver-assistance systems is standard. It includes radar cruise control, lane-departure alert w/steering assist, and a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection. Other driver aids include automatic high beeams, road-sign assist, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
The sole powertrain choice is a hybrid system that pairs a twin-turbo, 3.5-liter V6 engine and an electric motor with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard on all but TRD Pros, which come with four-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is a $3,000 option otherwise, and the destination fee is $1,495.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- Pete Skimmel I can see drivers ed teacher as a third career for Tim Walz.
- Lou_BC How about mandatory driver's Ed for anyone under 100 years old? I'm all for mandatory retesting and recertification.
- Burnbomber GM front driver A-bodies. They are the Chevy Celebrity, Pontiac 6000, Oldsmobile Ciera, and Buick Century (5th Generation). These are a derivative from the much maligned Chevrolet Citation, but they got this generation good. My 1st connection was in a daily 80 mile car pool,always riding in the back seat, in a stripper Pontiac 6000. It was a nice ride, quiet and roomy. Then I changed jobs and had a Chevy Celebrity as a company car. They were heavy duty strippers with a better than average GM feel (from F40 heavy-duty suspension option). I bought 2 ex-company cars at auction--one for my family and one for mother-in-law. They were extremely reliable, parts dirt cheap (especially in u-pulls), and simple to work on. It was the most reliable GM I've ever owned; better than my current Chevy Equinox, which will take a miracle to last as long as they did.
- Slavuta Drivers in Bharat are better. Considering that rules are accepted as mere suggestions and a mix of car, bicycle, motorbike, pedestrian at the same place and time, these guys are virtuosos.

I'm not sure how people justify the prices on these things, or the similar GM or Ford versions.
So, its $158,300 then?
