2027 Toyota Sequoia Starts at $69,900 With a $3,500 Trailhunter Package and Smarter Towing Tech
Toyota’s biggest family SUV just got a whole lot more interesting. The 2027 Toyota Sequoia starts at $69,900, and it arrives this fall with a sharper look, the first-ever Sequoia Trailhunter package, an upgraded TRD Pro, and a suite of towing tech that should make hooking up the camper a lot less stressful.
Plus, for Texas families, this one hits close to home. After all, Toyota’s North American headquarters sits in Plano, and the Sequoia is built alongside the Tundra in San Antonio. So, here’s everything new, what each grade costs, and what we think after our own time in the Trailhunter.
2027 Toyota Sequoia Pricing by Grade
First, every 2027 Sequoia comes with four-wheel drive (4WD) and the i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain. Here’s how the lineup stacks up:
| Grade | Starting MSRP | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| SR5 | $69,900 | Standard 14-inch screen, i-FORCE MAX power, and the available Trailhunter package |
| Limited | $75,500 | SofTex-trimmed seats and heated and ventilated front seats |
| Platinum | $83,400 | Leather-trimmed seats, second-row captain’s chairs, a panoramic moonroof, and 14-speaker JBL audio |
| 1794 | $84,400 | Western-inspired design with saddle-brown accents and open-pore wood-style trim |
| TRD Pro | $85,925 | FOX QS3 adjustable shocks, red tow hooks, and a heritage grille |
| Capstone | $87,900 | Semi-aniline leather, 22-inch wheels, acoustic glass, and power running boards |
Additionally, a few key options are worth knowing about:
- Trailhunter package: $3,500 (SR5 only)
- TRD Off-Road package: $2,185 to $2,690, depending on grade
- Tow Tech package: $820 (SR5 and Limited)
- SR5 Premium package: $1,050
- Panoramic roof: $500 (Limited)
- Premium paint: $475 ($695 on TRD Pro)
The First-Ever Sequoia Trailhunter
Above all, the headliner is the Trailhunter. Unlike the Tacoma and 4Runner, where Trailhunter is its own grade, the Sequoia version is a $3,500 package on the SR5. As a result, a Trailhunter-equipped Sequoia starts at $73,400, making it the most affordable way to get a factory overlanding Sequoia.
Specifically, the package adds:
- Old Man Emu upgraded suspension
- An underbody skid plate and front recovery hooks
- Michelin LTX Trail tires on exclusive bronze-colored wheels
- Unique Trailhunter badging
- Crawl Control, Multi-Terrain Select, and a locking rear differential
In fact, we already got a taste of it. During our Sequoia Trailhunter speed date at the Texas Truck Rodeo, it made easy work of an obstacle course that Holli has no plans to ride again. If you want the backstory, we also covered the moment the Sequoia first got a Trailhunter package.
A Sharper 2027 Toyota Sequoia and an Upgraded TRD Pro
First of all, the 2027 Sequoia gets refined front-end geometry for a wider, more planted stance. In addition, a new lower bumper adds rectangular fog lights, and each grade gets its own bold hexagonal grille design.
Meanwhile, the TRD Pro gets a meaningful suspension upgrade. It now rides on Sequoia-specific FOX enhanced QS3 adjustable shocks, which let drivers tune the damping for high-speed desert running or slow rock crawling. It also gains standard red tow hooks and a new signature color, Honeycomb, which we first spotted when Toyota’s 2027 TRD Pro lineup went Honeycomb. Overall, with 9.1 inches of ground clearance and a 23-degree approach angle, the TRD Pro remains the most capable Sequoia off-road.
2027 Toyota Sequoia Powertrain and Fuel Economy
Under the hood, nothing changes, and that’s a good thing. Once again, every 2027 Sequoia uses the i-FORCE MAX hybrid, which pairs a 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 with an electric motor generator. Together, they make 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft of torque, sent through a 10-speed automatic.
- EPA-estimated fuel economy: 19 city / 22 highway / 20 combined MPG
- Recommended fuel: 87-octane regular
- Maximum towing capacity: 9,520 pounds
New Towing Tech Takes the Stress Out of Trailering
Admittedly, towing a big trailer can be intimidating, especially with the family on board. That’s why, for 2027, the Sequoia adds a suite of Trailer Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (TADAS) on top of Toyota Safety Sense 4.0:
- Automated Trailer Detection: uses rear radar and a camera to detect a trailer and measure it, then fills in the details in the redesigned Trailer Garage menu, which now lives in the multimedia system
- Trailer Blind Spot Monitor: stretches blind spot coverage to the length of the trailer
- Trailer Lane Trace Assist: a towing-tuned lane centering system that helps compensate for uneven roads and certain wind gusts
- Trailer Backup Guide: now with dynamic guidelines, a slider interface, and semi-automated steering support to help avoid jackknifing
So if you tow often, the $820 Tow Tech package on the SR5 and Limited is worth a close look.
A 14-Inch Screen and Smarter Safety Tech
Inside, every 2027 Sequoia now gets a 14-inch touchscreen running the latest Toyota Audio Multimedia system, along with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster. On top of that, the system adds AT&T 5G connectivity, a configurable home screen, and a built-in Drive Recorder dash cam, Toyota’s first with playback right on the touchscreen. Plus, Arene, the new software platform from Woven by Toyota, supports over-the-air updates.
Also standard is Toyota Safety Sense 4.0, which includes Pre-Collision with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, Proactive Driving Assist, and the Emergency Drive Stop System. Every grade also gets a 5-year Connected Services trial for Remote Connect, Safety Connect, and Service Connect.
Family Features Inside the Three-Row Sequoia
As parents, the new feature we appreciate most is the Advanced Rear Seat Reminder. Specifically, a millimeter-wave radar hidden in the headliner can detect movement in the second and third rows after the Sequoia is parked and the driver walks away. Then, if it senses something, it can trigger hazard lights, chimes, and the horn, and with an active Safety Connect trial or subscription, it can even send app alerts, texts, and an automated phone call.
Otherwise, the Sequoia keeps the family-friendly layout we like, including its sliding third row and adjustable cargo shelf. For example, behind the first row, you get 86.9 cubic feet of cargo space, and behind the second row, you get 49.0 cubic feet with the third row folded.
Our Take
In the end, Toyota didn’t need to reinvent the Sequoia for 2027, and it didn’t. Instead, it gave buyers smarter towing tools, a standard big screen, and better ways to go off-road. For our family, though, the Trailhunter package is the standout. At $73,400 to start, it’s a lot of factory overlanding hardware without jumping to the TRD Pro.
