The fuel economy on this new Sequoia comes nowhere close to the EPA ratings for the vehicle.

Wonder how they got the EPA to accept those fuel mileage numbers? Missing them by 50%!
So much for Focus Groups for the interior lay-out.

Few tidbits I caught:

The TRD Pro has a larger turning radius than the normal trim levels. In fact it's 2 more feet. The Cadillac that they compared it to, is only 3" tighter than the non TRD Pro models.

Second, don't need to climb over the seats to get into the back row. They fold forward.

Third: I'm seeing close to 19-20mpg in a US Spec driving pretty normally. I can easily see the TRD package hurting that. I can also see the cold weather affecting the battery capacity, or making the engine always run for heat, which may also contribute their their numbers -- But I am seeing almost double what they are saying.. 🤷

Toyota claims 18 city / 24 highway mpg for the new Tundra, which shares the powertrain with the Sequoia. Real-life mpg reported on Fuelly is 16.8 mpg, and Consumer Reports got 12 and 23, respectively. So it does appear that Toyota's estimates are on the happy side.

Ain't no wonder they only got 10 mpg, they were flooring it every chance they got just to hear the exhaust. That is not driving gingerly like they claimed.Not to mention that the TRD runs on 33 in tires.

It's a heavy car. Of course it's gonna DRINK gas lol. Get a Prius or Tesla if you are not happy with the MPG.
