2023 Toyota Sequoia
vs 2023 Ford Explorer® Hybrid in El Dorado, AR
Looking for a hybrid that doesn’t shy away from hard work? The all-new 2023 Toyota Sequoia was made for you. This powerful SUV makes a statement wherever it goes, thanks to its bold front grille, athletic stance and exciting body colors. The Toyota Sequoia charges head-first into exploration and errand-running alike, offering 21 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.1 This fuel efficiency is possible due to the combined power of this model’s i-FORCE MAX 3.4-liter twin-turbo V6 hybrid engine and its HV electric motor. The available four-wheel drive will allow you and your Toyota Sequoia to handle off-road trails with confidence, and for even more certainty on tough terrain, the available Multi-Terrain Select system gives you the ability to choose from five drive modes for precise and secure traction. The all-new 2023 Toyota Sequoia goes hard when it comes to power and performance while going easy on the environment (and your fuel budget).
While the Toyota brand offers some of the most popular hybrid models on the market today, other brands are bringing the competition with hybrids of their own. If you’re also considering the new 2023 Ford Explorer Hybrid, take a look at how it compares with the all-new 2023 Toyota Sequoia.

The new 2023 Ford Explorer® Hybrid is a good effort by the Ford brand, but if you’re curious about what a hybrid SUV can really do, we recommend the all-new 2023 Toyota Sequoia. With a slightly bigger hybrid engine, the Toyota Sequoia is able to easily surpass the Ford Explorer® Hybrid model’s maximum towing capacity and maximum available horsepower. As you can see, if you’re planning on towing with your new hybrid SUV, the Toyota Sequoia can handle much more weight than the Ford Explorer® Hybrid can. And when it comes to maximum passenger capacity, the Toyota Sequoia can transport one more of your family members than the Ford Explorer® Hybrid can — so choose the former and you won’t have to leave anyone behind. The Toyota Sequoia also stands out due to its massive 14-inch available touchscreen display, its standard sunroof and its standard trailer hitch. With its largest available touchscreen display measuring only 10.1 inches across, and with a sunroof and a trailer hitch that are only available as upgrades, the Ford Explorer® Hybrid just doesn’t offer as much as its rival does. And finally, since all new Toyota models come with ToyotaCare, you’ll enjoy no-cost maintenance for 24 months or 25,000 miles (whichever comes first) when you choose the Toyota Sequoia. The Ford Explorer® Hybrid doesn’t come with a no-cost maintenance plan, so you’ll be stuck with the bill for any maintenance at the beginning of your ownership if you choose that model.
Choose the hybrid SUV that gives you a better driving experience. Drive home the all-new 2023 Toyota Sequoia today and experience all this incredible SUV has to offer.

The maximum you can tow depends on base curb weight plus the total weight of any cargo, occupants, and added vehicle equipment. Installation of a tow hitch receiver or other accessories located near the rear bumper may require disabling or removing the kick sensor, and the sensor operation setting in your vehicle should be turned off.
