2025 TOYOTA SEQUOIA TRD PRO FAMILY REVIEW WITH CHILD SEAT INSTALLATION

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro is presented as a capable, off-road-ready family SUV. Reviewers highlight its aggressive styling and robust TRD Pro features, including FOX shocks and TRD running boards, which translate well to on-road comfort, offering a surprisingly smooth ride over rough surfaces with minimal interior noise. The hybrid V6 powertrain delivers strong performance with seamless shifts, though real-world fuel economy falls significantly short of EPA estimates, averaging 11.8 MPG during testing. Interior practicality is a mixed bag: while there's ample space and thoughtful features like ceiling-mounted rear vents, sunshades, and a flexible third row, the cargo area behind the third row is notably compromised by the battery placement. Child seat installation is manageable, but access to third-row top tethers can be awkward. The reviewer notes a lack of premium features like a head-up display compared to competitors at its as-tested price of $86,772, suggesting it appeals most to those prioritizing ruggedness and off-road capability over luxury amenities.
