The 2024 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro, a North American creation designed by American engineers for the North American market, is a beast of a truck-based SUV. And let me tell you, this thing means business. With its 3.4L V6 engine churning out a staggering 437 horsepower and 583 ft-lbs of torque, it's a force to be reckoned with. They call it the I-Force Max, and boy does it live up to its name. This turbocharged V6 is a powerhouse, and when combined with the hybrid setup and electric motor, it delivers impressive efficiency.

But let's talk about what really sets the TRD Pro apart. The package includes all the goodies you'd expect from a truck of this caliber. Fox shocks, forged upper control arms, skid plate, BBS wheels, off-road tires, a light bar to blind your neighbors, multi-terrain select, locking rear differential, TRD suspension tuning, and a sway bar in the front. This thing is built to take on any off-road challenge you throw at it. And let me tell you, it delivers. I've taken it off-road myself, and it can handle anything you throw at it, as long as you can handle its sheer weight and length.

Now, let's talk about the interior. The TRD Pro comes with some nice upgrades, including heated and cooled TRD Pro seats, TRD badging throughout, and all of Toyota's cameras to keep you informed of what's happening around the truck. However, there are still some downsides to the Sequoia. The interior storage is not as plentiful or deep as its American counterparts, and the third-row storage is a bit of a mess due to the battery pack. But hey, at least the overall cargo capacity is still impressive.

When it comes to the driving experience, the Sequoia TRD Pro doesn't disappoint. The drivetrain is smooth and powerful, with the 10-speed automatic transmission shifting seamlessly. It may not be the sportiest gearbox out there, but it gets the job done. The ride quality is surprisingly good, thanks to the Fox dampers and the 18-inch off-road tires. It handles well for its size, and while it may not be as nimble as some of its competitors, it doesn't feel like a hindrance in day-to-day driving.

In conclusion, the 2024 Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro is a formidable truck-based SUV that excels in its drivetrain, off-road capabilities, and overall performance. It may have some packaging constraints and compromises, but if you can live with those, you'll be rewarded with a beast of a vehicle that can conquer any terrain with ease. So, if you're in the market for a three-row body-on-frame SUV that can tow, go off-road, and deliver a smooth and powerful driving experience, the Sequoia TRD Pro is definitely worth considering.

Mini Countryman Review: Pricing, Features, and Performance Analysis

Savagegeese reviews the Mini Countryman, starting at $38,000. The John Cooper Works model, priced over $52,000, offers more power and unique features. Despite its customizable exterior and interior, the car falls short in practicality. Issues include a reflective plexiglass HUD, a laggy infotainment system, and a rough stop-start mechanism. The Mini Countryman JCW, a larger SUV, shares similarities with BMW X1/X2. The JCW variant boasts optimized engine components, wider wheels, and enhanced braking. During the test drive, the team praises the car's power and all-wheel-drive performance but criticizes its narrow power band and abrupt stop-start system. Despite lacking adaptive dampers, the Mini Countryman JCW impresses with its engine and handling. The car's unique character and customization options may appeal to those seeking a distinctive SUV experience.
