PLANO, Texas (Nov. 4, 2026) – Toyota is taking its flagship full-size SUV to uncharted territory for the 2027 model year. The 2027 Toyota Sequoia arrives with a bolder exterior, the highly anticipated introduction of the rugged Trailhunter package, and a massive leap forward in towing intelligence. Engineered for modern families who refuse to compromise on luxury, interior space, or genuine off-road capability, the updated Sequoia is ready to conquer your next escape, from the daily school commute to remote, off-the-grid campsites. The updated Sequoia will have a starting MSRP of $69,900 and is expected to arrive at dealerships in the fall of 2026.
A Commanding and Refined Presence The 2027 Sequoia makes an immediate statement with a refreshed exterior design that perfectly balances premium sophistication with undeniable strength. The SUV’s front-end geometry has been refined to account for wider, more planted stance that exudes hauling confidence. The updated lower bumper treatment enhances the vehicle’s rugged appeal while seamlessly integrating new rectangular fog lights. Depending on the grade, the Sequoia features distinct, bold hexagonal grille designs that give each trim its own unique personality, ensuring this full-size SUV turns heads whether parked at a luxury resort or a dusty trailhead.
The Overland Ready Trailhunter Catering to families who crave off-the-grid adventures, the 2027 Sequoia introduces the all-new Trailhunter package. Built upon the SR5 foundation, the Trailhunter package delivers factory-ready overlanding capability. It comes equipped with Old Man Emu® upgraded suspension, an underbody skid plate, front recovery hooks, and aggressive Michelin® LTX® Trail tires. Visually, the Trailhunter package stands apart with exclusive bronze-colored wheels and unique badging. Standard off-road technologies such as Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, and a locking rear differential to help it handle tough trails with ease.
TRD Pro Unleashed For those seeking exceptional off-road performance, the legendary TRD Pro grade receives a significant suspension upgrade for 2027. It now features newly designed Sequoia-specific FOX® enhanced QS3® adjustable shocks, helping to provide drivers with stability and customizable damping for high-speed desert running or rocky terrain. The TRD Pro also gains standard red tow hooks and introduces a striking new available signature color: Honeycomb.
Exhilarating Hybrid Power Under the hood, every 2027 Sequoia is powered exclusively by Toyota’s brilliant i-FORCE MAX® hybrid powertrain. By pairing a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 with a specially designed motor generator, the Sequoia delivers a breathtaking 437 net combined horsepower and 583 lb.-ft. of torque. This advanced hybrid system not only provides strong acceleration, but also enables the Sequoia to tow an impressive 9,520 pounds, making it a top-tier choice for hauling boats, heavy trailers, and campers.
Enhanced Towing Technologies Towing a large trailer can be intimidating, but the 2027 Sequoia helps take the stress out of the equation with the introduction of a suite of fully integrated Trailer Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (TADAS). The 2027 Sequoia features a full suite of the latest Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 technologies in addition to new trailer-specific active driver-assist systems.
The new Trailer ADAS suite makes towing convenient and more intuitive, featuring:
Automated Trailer Detection: Utilizes rear radar and camera to automatically detect the presence and measure the physical characteristics of a trailer, seamlessly inputting the information into Sequoia’s redesigned Trailer Garage menu. Trailer Garage has been relocated from the meter cluster to the multimedia system, allowing for greater visibility and improved functionality.

Trailer Blind Spot Monitor: Extends the standard blind spot detection zone beyond the vehicle’s body to cover the length of the trailer and its immediate surroundings, expanding the blind spot monitoring area based on the size of the trailer.
Trailer Lane Trace Assist: A towing-optimized version of standard Lane Trace Assist that provides automated steering support to maintain lane centering in certain conditions. Trailer Lane Trace Assist can actively compensate for when lanes split as well as help manage for uneven roads and certain wind disturbances.
Trailer Backup Guide: Improved for 2027, this system now features dynamic on-screen guidelines, a slider interface, and semi-automated steering support for managing complex maneuvers. It can guide a path to the trailer, while helping to detect jackknife risks.

Enhanced Peace of Mind New for 2027, Sequoia introduces Advanced Rear Seat Reminder , which uses a millimeter-wave radar concealed in the headliner that can, under certain circumstances, detect movement in the second and third row seats after the vehicle is parked, the ignition is off and the driver exits the vehicle. If movement is detected, it can trigger escalating warnings such as hazard lights, chimes, horn, and, with an active Safety Connect trial or subscription and 5G network, app notifications, SMS text messages and an automated phone call can be sent.
