2026 Toyota Sequoia 1794 Edition: Airmont Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: The 2026 Sequoia 1794 Edition
1794 Edition starts at $82,550 MSRP including the $2,095 destination charge, 4WD-only. It's the western-heritage trim, named for the 1794 land-grant date of the Texas ranch where Toyota builds the Sequoia and Tundra, and it shows up as Saddle Tan leather-trimmed seating and real American walnut wood trim with an open-pore finish rather than a printed woodgrain look. New for 2026, massaging front seats join the standard equipment list. Same i-FORCE MAX hybrid as every Sequoia: 437 horsepower, 583 lb-ft. Interstate Toyota carries 1794 Edition at 411 Route 59 in Airmont.
A trim built around a specific interior, not a badge
Most trim ladders differentiate mainly on tech and convenience features; 1794 Edition differentiates on material and story. The name comes from the founding date of the JLR Ranch in San Antonio, Texas — the same property where Toyota's Tundra and Sequoia plant sits — and the interior leans into that with Saddle Tan leather-trimmed seats and genuine American walnut trim finished with an open-pore look that shows the actual grain of the wood rather than a glossy printed finish. It's a distinct aesthetic from Platinum's more conventional Toyota luxury cabin or Capstone's chrome-heavy presentation, and it's the kind of difference that reads far better in person than in a spec sheet.
Mechanically and on price, 1794 Edition sits almost identically to Platinum — both 4WD-only, both around $82,000 MSRP, both picking up massaging front seats as new-for-2026 equipment. The choice between them comes down almost entirely to which interior a buyer wants to live with, not which one is "better" by any measurable standard.
4WD-only, same as the other top-half trims
1794 Edition doesn't offer a rear-wheel-drive option — part-time 4WD comes standard, the same as Platinum, TRD Pro, and Capstone. EPA ratings land at 19 city / 22 highway / 20 combined mpg for the 4WD configuration, identical to every other 4WD Sequoia regardless of trim, since the drivetrain and powertrain don't change with the interior finish.
What Interstate Toyota buyers say
No review at Interstate Toyota names 1794 Edition specifically yet, and it's worth saying so plainly rather than manufacturing a quote that doesn't exist for this particular trim. The dealership's broader Sequoia feedback speaks to the buying experience across trims, including the top of the range: Richard Mancini's 2026 Sequoia Capstone purchase — a similarly-priced, similarly-equipped trim — described a process handled almost entirely by text and email: "Gianna provided exceptional customer service... The vehicle was exactly what we were looking for and Gianna made sure that the vehicle was serviced and ready for us to pick up. Glenn, the finance manager, was also extremely professional and made the whole 'money' part of the transaction seamless."
