While the new 2023 Ford Explorer Hybrid has some notable features, the all-new 2023 Toyota Sequoia exemplifies what a hybrid is capable of. Its hybrid engine is slightly bigger than that of the Ford Explorer Hybrid, which allows the Toyota Sequoia to achieve higher maximum towing capacity and maximum available horsepower. Plus, with room for eight passengers, the Toyota Sequoia will allow your large family or group of friends to travel in one vehicle, rather than splitting up. When it comes to features, the Toyota Sequoia continues to shine, offering an available 14-inch touchscreen display, a standard sunroof and a standard trailer hitch. In contrast, the Ford Explorer Hybrid's largest touchscreen display only measures 10.1 inches, and the sunroof and trailer hitch are only available on higher trims.
On top of all of this, the all-new 2023 Toyota Sequoia comes with ToyotaCare, a plan which provides no-cost maintenance for the first 24 months or 25,000 miles of ownership.5 You won’t get a plan like this with the new 2023 Ford Explorer Hybrid.
