Atlanta drivers who haul pick the Toyota Tundra; big families, the Sequoia

If your week includes lumber runs, mulch or a trailer, the Tundra is the one to drive. Toyota rates the Tundra SR5 (RWD, 77.6-in. bed, 145.7-in. wheelbase) to tow 12,000 pounds, more than any Sequoia trim on Toyota’s list. The open bed carries the long, wet and dirty loads that would foul an enclosed cabin.

Big families are a different question. The Sequoia puts passengers and gear in one enclosed cabin with three rows of seats. Choose the Sequoia when the people count matters more than the bed. Choose the Tundra when the bed is where the work goes.

How many seats and how much cargo space do the Tundra and Sequoia have?

The Sequoia carries its passengers and cargo in one enclosed cabin, with a third row behind the second. Toyota lists 41.2 inches of first-row legroom, 39.2 inches in row two, and 28.1 to 33.7 inches in row three for the Sequoia SR5 (RWD). Cargo space is 86.9 cubic feet with every seat row behind the driver folded, 49.0 cubic feet with the third row folded, and 22.3 to 11.5 cubic feet with all three rows up.

Cargo room is also the test Consumer Reports uses. It requires a three-row SUV to have 46 cubic feet or more of usable cargo room to qualify for its “most cargo room” rankings (Consumer Reports, 2026). Toyota’s 49.0-cubic-foot figure behind row two is the number to weigh against that bar.

The Tundra seats five in every trim Toyota lists. The Tundra SR (RWD, 77.6-in. bed) gives its front seats 41.2 inches of legroom and its rear seats 33.3 inches. Its cargo sits in the open bed, not behind a row of seats.

How much can the Toyota Tundra and Sequoia tow?

The Tundra’s rating runs from 8,300 pounds on the SR to 12,000 pounds on the SR5 (RWD, 77.6-in. bed, 145.7-in. wheelbase). The Sequoia’s runs from 8,980 pounds on the Capstone to 9,500 pounds on the SR5 (RWD). Both are Toyota’s maximum ratings for the trim named.

Illustrative example: a loaded trailer weighing 10,000 pounds is past every Sequoia rating. It falls within the Tundra SR5 (RWD, 77.6-in. bed, 145.7-in. wheelbase) rating of 12,000 pounds. For that load, the Tundra is the pick.

What are the Tundra and Sequoia’s engines and EPA fuel economy?

The Sequoia is a hybrid in every configuration Toyota lists. The 2WD Sequoia is rated 21 mpg city, 24 highway and 22 combined by the EPA.

Tundra fuel economy depends on the powertrain. The 2WD gasoline Tundra is rated 18 city, 23 highway and 20 combined, and the 4WD gasoline model is rated 17, 22 and 19. The EPA’s combined figure is a weighted average, with city weighted at 55% and highway at 45% (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2026).

Traffic adds to the fuel bill here. Auto commuters in the Atlanta urban area burned 19 extra gallons of fuel apiece in 2024 (Texas A&M Transportation Institute, 2025). Engine output matters too. The Tundra SR (RWD, 77.6-in. bed) makes 358 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. The Tundra SR5 makes 389 horsepower and 479 lb-ft. The Sequoia SR5 (RWD) makes 437 horsepower and 583 lb-ft.

What does a new Tundra cost compared with a new Sequoia?

Toyota’s 2026 starting MSRP is $41,260 for the Tundra SR (RWD, 77.6-in. bed) and $65,725 for the Sequoia SR5 (RWD). The most expensive Tundra on Toyota’s list is the Capstone at $80,800. The Sequoia Capstone lists at $86,135.

Two Georgia charges come on top of the sticker price. Georgia’s Title Ad Valorem Tax is 7.0% of the vehicle’s fair market value, a one-time tax paid when the vehicle is titled (Georgia Department of Revenue, 2026). Illustrative example: a vehicle with a fair market value of $41,260 would owe $2,888.20 at that rate. The license plate registration or renewal fee is $20 for a regular passenger car or lightweight pick-up truck, and other vehicles follow the MV schedule (Georgia Department of Revenue, Motor Vehicle Division, 2026).

What do the Tundra and Sequoia offer on seating, towing, mpg and price?

The Tundra starts at $41,260 and tows up to 12,000 pounds. The Sequoia starts at $65,725 and seats passengers in three rows. Toyota’s 2026 figures for four models, one from each line’s range, are below.

A buyer who needs a bed and a high towing rating will find both in the Tundra’s SR5 trims. A buyer who needs a third row will look at the Sequoia’s price range first.

When is the Tundra or Sequoia the wrong Toyota for your garage?

The Tundra SR (RWD, 77.6-in. bed) stands 78.0 inches tall and measures 233.6 inches long, per Toyota’s specifications. The Sequoia SR5 (RWD) is 75.4 inches tall and 208.1 inches long.

Ground clearance runs the other way on length. The Tundra SR has 9.3 inches of ground clearance, against 8.6 inches on the Sequoia SR5 (RWD). The Tundra carries 1,830 pounds of payload, and the Sequoia SR5 (RWD) carries 1,730 pounds. The Sequoia is heavier, with a curb weight of 5,635 pounds against the Tundra SR’s 5,205.

The Sequoia is the wrong pick when the bed is the job. The Tundra is the wrong pick when passengers need a third row inside an enclosed cabin.
