Traded for a TRD Pro

100% I mean people talk about her being in her 80's and me being 30 plus years her junior, but she's super sweet and buys me anything I want. That's what its all about right?

Seriously though.....there was a guy at a bar that my ex and I went to one time and started talking to him and asked if that was his mom next to him......foot in mouth....nope that was his wife...... following Anna Nicole Smith in reverse huh?

@eltaco how are you liking the interior of the Sequoia and the infotainment system?

@eltaco how are you liking the interior of the Sequoia and the infotainment system?

Interior very much feels like a Toyota. They don’t try to wow you with fancy materials in the TRD Pro. It looks well built and rugged, but doesn’t scream luxury. I suppose their customers prefer it that way.

I really do appreciate the switch layout for things I typically operate in the vehicle. HVAC, seat heat/vents, camera, etc. I’ve gotten used to fumbling around for all of that stuff on my Uconnect, but truth be told I very much prefer a physical switch for those.

The infotainment layout to me is really good. I like the horizontal display and layout quite a bit, surprisingly. CarPlay works well and their navigation is also better than Ram, IMO.

There is WAY less vehicle customization in their infotainment. The cluster graphics are lackluster and super confusing why they make so many vehicle customizations accessible thru the cluster instead of the massive 14” screen. Those are mostly one time settings, so I have to pull out my manual or use some creativity to discern what LCA, RCDA, BSM, etc means. There’s absolutely no way my wife will know those acronyms.

Overall, I like it a lot. I’ve turned needy now that I have heated and vented rear seats and massaging front seats in my RHO. You can get all of that same stuff with the Sequoia but not in the TRD Pro package. This one feels much lighter on options compared to a Platinum or Capstone, which are pretty well appointed. We preferred the tougher look, suspension, resale, and lack of chrome on the Pro.

I spent my late 20s with a cougar. ZERO regrets.

Sounds like your wife and mine would get along. She wants the "badass" look....not the luxury. Although she owns 4 Louis Vuitton bags so it's hard to tell. She said she built one on the website yesterday, though, and loved it so it may be on the short list

On that note - from what I’ve read you can fit about 34.5” tires without modifying suspension. A lot of guys go with a 3/1 level and 35s… and they definitely look BA when you do.

Dude heck yeah, had me worried! LOL. This truck also brings that out of me, i cant stop driving it like a pissed off teenager. SO fast and fun. I need a radar detector asap!!! Local LEO would have an aneurysm if they ever saw me.

Bro, after that, your wife absolutely deserves that beast ! So happy she is okay, that is some extremely scary stuff. Cant put a price on happiness that is for certain! Cant take anything to the grave so spend that money baby. Enjoy every second of the precious time we have here on earth!

Just wait till you slap a diablosport on that bitch!

Cougar is very different than pushing around a depends wearing old lady

But it's more likely the Depends lady can remove her teeth at will...You're welcome!

haha, the ultimate click bait thread.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying the Sequoia! We’re in the market to replace my wife’s vehicle and are currently torn between the Sequoia TRD Pro and the GX550 Overtrail. We occasionally need to haul six people, so having a third row would be a big plus. But for the other 95% of the time, the extra cargo space in the GX550 would definitely be more practical. It's a tough choice!

Long as she's got the Vicky's on over the depends. I still need the show

Let us know how it goes! I haven’t been in the GX550, but I definitely considered it. My wife doesn’t want a “luxury brand” so that settled it on the Lexus… although truth be told I think I would have gotten the GX for less money than the Sequoia. I really like the look of the GX, but I’ve read the seats are more cramped.

So far, we like the Sequoia quite a bit. I probably prefer the Ram seats, but my wife and kids have been really happy with those, so I’ll keep my mouth shut to not enter those thoughts to anyone’s mind.

…. And before you all lose your minds, we traded in the wife’s Rav4 for it. It was time for an upgrade, and I sure as heck wasn’t giving up my one-of-a-kind trouble free RHO!

You really had me worried, thank you for staying wise!
