How many miles can a Toyota Sequoia go on a full tank?
The Toyota Sequoia typically covers roughly 470 to 520 miles on a full tank, with the exact figure depending on model year, drivetrain, and driving conditions.
Tank size varies by generation
Knowing the fuel tank capacity helps set expectations for range. Here are typical tank sizes for recent and older Sequoia generations:
- 2023 and newer Sequoias: 24.6 gallons
- Earlier generations (2000s through 2022): 26.4 gallons
In practice, newer models carry a smaller tank, but advances in efficiency can offset that difference.
Fuel economy and estimated range
Range is calculated by multiplying the tank capacity by the vehicle’s miles-per-gallon (MPG). EPA figures vary by drivetrain and trim, but the following ranges reflect typical values:
- 2023–present Sequoia: about 19–21 mpg combined
- Older generations (with the 5.7L V8): about 15–18 mpg combined
Using these numbers, expected miles per tank are roughly:
- 2023–present: 24.6 × 19 ≈ 467 miles; 24.6 × 21 ≈ 517 miles
- Older generations: 26.4 × 15 ≈ 396 miles; 26.4 × 18 ≈ 475 miles
In short, modern Sequoias typically offer about 470–520 miles per tank, while older models fall in the higher 300s to mid-400s range, depending on fuel efficiency and tank size.
Real-world factors that affect range
Actual miles per tank can vary widely based on driving conditions, cargo, towing, terrain, and driving style. The following factors commonly influence range:
- Highway driving tends to yield better MPG than city or mixed driving.
- Towing heavy loads or climbing grades reduces efficiency.
- Vehicle load, tire condition, and air resistance affect fuel economy.
- Fuel economy is often lower in winter due to engine warm-up and other factors.
For planning purposes, estimate a buffer below the EPA figure and consider current conditions that could reduce efficiency.
Summary
Across model years, a Toyota Sequoia typically covers between roughly 470 and 520 miles on a full tank in normal use. Older generations with larger tanks and lower MPG can dip into the 390s to mid-400s, while newer models with smaller tanks but improved efficiency often land in the 470–520 mile range.
