At $81,720, the Sequoia Capstone cedes the affordability argument — the Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition both start lower and offer more configurations. Its counterpunch is a 437 hp hybrid drivetrain none of them has, semi-aniline leather and walnut trim, and Toyota's durability record.
Comparison with Rivals
Key competitors include the Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Expedition and Jeep Grand Wagoneer.
The Tahoe and Expedition offer more configurations and lower entry pricing. The Sequoia Capstone counters with hybrid efficiency, Toyota dependability, and Land Cruiser-grade luxury at this trim.

Overall Rating
4.3 / 5 — hybrid muscle, 9,000 lb towing and a genuinely luxurious Capstone cabin; a big price, no 8-seat layout and less cargo behind row three than the GM and Ford giants are the counts against.
