While the new 2023 Ford Explorer® Hybrid has some impressive features, we wouldn’t recommend it as your next hybrid SUV. The all-new 2023 Toyota Sequoia is a better example of everything a hybrid SUV can do, offering a slightly larger engine, a higher maximum towing capacity and higher maximum available horsepower than its rival. Want to bring along the entire crew? Choose the Toyota Sequoia, since it can be equipped to carry one more passenger than the Ford Explorer® Hybrid can. When it comes to features that provide comfort, convenience and entertainment, the Toyota Sequoia stands out again, offering an available 14-inch touchscreen display. You’ll also find a standard sunroof and a standard trailer hitch on the base Toyota Sequoia trim. In contrast, the Ford Explorer® Hybrid only offers a touchscreen that’s 10.1 inches across. Its sunroof and trailer hitch are only available as upgrades on more expensive trims.


With all of this in mind, we’re confident that the all-new 2023 Toyota Sequoia is the better choice (especially since it comes with ToyotaCare, a no-cost maintenance plan that lasts for two years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first).5 Visit us today to test-drive this model and see for yourself all it can do!

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. Follow all instructions in your Owner’s Manual.
