As a native Texan, the longer I live in Arizona, the more I see similarities between the two states. Both have extreme heat, rugged terrain, and people who love trucks and outdoor adventures. How fitting that this week’s review vehicle is a 2025 Toyota Sequoia 1794 Edition (the founding year of the Texas ranch that eventually became the grounds for the plant that makes the Sequoia) with the TRD Off-Road Package.
According to its window sticker, our Lunar Rock Sequoia 1794 Edition press loaner has a starting price of $80,135. Standard equipment includes the i-Force Max twin-turbo 3.4-liter V6 hybrid powertrain, 10-speed automatic, and part-time four-wheel drive.
Inside, you’ll find Saddle Tan leather seats, heated and ventilated first- and second-row captain’s chairs, power folding and sliding third row, three-zone climate control, 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and 14-inch infotainment touchscreen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
For $2,135, the TRD Off-Road Package adds 20-inch TRD Off-Road wheels with all-terrain rubber, an off-road suspension, and a rear locking diff. The software to go with that hardware includes Multi-Terrain Select, Crawl Control, and Downhill Assist Control. Other options on our test vehicle are a 10-inch heads-up display, TRD front skid plate, wheel locks, and a trial of Toyota’s Connected Services. Do the math and you’ll see our Texas-made rig retails for $85,630 (which can buy a lot of BBQ, boots, and beer).
Over the next week, my colleague Luke and I will be putting miles on the 2025 Toyota Sequoia 1794 Edition. If you have any questions about our experiences behind the wheel, ask us in the Comments section below.
