2026 Toyota Sequoia Capstone: Trim, Features & Inventory in Tustin
The 2026 Toyota Sequoia Capstone comes standard with 22-inch dark chrome and machined-finish alloy wheels, Shale Premium Textured leather-trimmed seating, Dark Gray American Walnut wood-grain trim with a backlit CAPSTONE dash badge, automatic power-extending running boards, acoustic laminated front side windows, a 10-inch color Head-Up Display, a 14-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, a 14-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system, a power tilt/slide panoramic roof, and the i-FORCE MAX twin-turbo V6 hybrid powertrain with standard part-time four-wheel drive.
The Capstone is the top grade in a six-trim lineup that runs SR5, Limited, Platinum, 1794 Edition, TRD Pro and Capstone. Every Sequoia shares the same hybrid powertrain, so what separates the grades is equipment — and the Capstone is where Toyota puts everything it offers.
What’s New on the Capstone for 2026
The Capstone’s headline change for 2026 is its seating material. Toyota replaced the grade’s previous semi-aniline upholstery with Shale Premium Textured Leather-trimmed seating with contrast stitching, a finish offered on no other Sequoia grade.

Fuel Economy by Drivetrain

|---|---|---|
| Rear-wheel drive (4×2) | SR5, Limited | 21 / 24 / 22 |

Towing and Payload by Trim
Every Sequoia carries the same Class-IV towing hitch receiver and 7-pin/4-pin wiring harness, so the differences come down to weight. The Capstone’s added equipment makes it the lineup’s lightest-rated tow vehicle.
| 2026 Sequoia grade | Drivetrain | Maximum towing§ | Maximum payload§ |
|---|---|---|---|
| SR5 | 4×2 | 9,500 lbs | 1,730 lbs |
| SR5 | 4×4 | 9,120 lbs | 1,555 lbs |
| Limited | 4×2 | 9,300 lbs | 1,565 lbs |

Driver-Assist Features by Trim
There is no trim upgrade to make here. Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 (TSS 2.5) is standard on all six 2026 Sequoia grades, and so are Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Merge Warning, Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking, the Panoramic View Monitor surround-view camera system, an Integrated Trailer Brake Controller and Trailer-Sway Control. An SR5 and a Capstone carry the same driver-assist equipment.¶
The one Capstone advantage is that the Trailer Backup Guide system with Straight Path Assist is standard on the Capstone, Platinum and 1794 Edition, where the SR5 and Limited need a package for it.¶
¶ Driver-assist and safety systems are supplemental aids and are not a substitute for safe, attentive driving. Their effectiveness depends on weather, road, and traffic conditions and other factors. Always obey traffic laws and stay attentive to the road. See your owner’s manual for system details and limitations.

How Does the Capstone Compare to the Platinum and 1794 Edition?
The Platinum and the 1794 Edition are the Capstone’s closest relatives in the lineup. All three are four-wheel-drive premium grades built on the same powertrain, with massaging front seats, heated and ventilated seating in the first two rows, and the 14-speaker JBL system standard on every one.
The 1794 Edition is the closer comparison of the two, because it already brings American Walnut wood trim. What the Capstone adds over both is a narrow, specific set of upgrades — and two of them can be optioned onto the other grades rather than requiring the step up.
| Feature | Platinum 4×4 | 1794 Edition 4×4 | Capstone 4×4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wheels | 20-in. machined-finish black alloy | 20-in. machined-finish alloy | 22-in. dark chrome and machined-finish alloy |
