Why the Sequoia is hybrid-only
Toyota retired the 5.7L V8 after the 2022 model year and ships every Sequoia with the i-FORCE MAX 3.4L twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain shared with the Tundra. The hybrid system pairs the V6 with a single electric motor mounted between the engine and the 10-speed automatic, producing 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque — more than the outgoing V8 in both metrics. EPA combined fuel economy lands in the low-20s, a meaningful improvement over the V8 it replaces. Towing capacity tops out at 9,520 lb when properly equipped, on par with full-size body-on-frame three-row competitors.
