2013 Toyota Sequoia - Review
Take even a brief look at the Sequoia, and you'll know what it is: a full-size SUV, and a brawny truck.

Toyota Sequoia size truck capability, with eight-passenger seating
The Toyota Sequoia can transport eight people plus some cargo in
comfort. Sequoia's interior is designed with generous seats, big
armrests, and lots of storage for passengers, plus an optional
entertainment system for long trips. A comprehensive combination of
electronic safety, stability and traction controls, Toyota's STAR system, is standard on all models, as are eight airbags. Properly
equipped, Sequoia is rated to tow up to 7,400 pounds.
Sequoia
offers two engines. The standard 4.6-liter V8 is rated at 310 horsepower
and 327 pound-feet of torque and an EPA-estimated 14/20 mpg
City/Highway. Sequoia Limited and Platinum models come with a 5.7-liter
V8 rated at 381 hp and 401 lb-ft of torque and EPA-estimated 14/18 mpg
City/Highway. Both come with a 6-speed automatic. With four-wheel drive,
it's 14/19 mpg for the 4.6-liter, 13/18 mpg for the 5.7-liter. A
flex-fuel version of the 5.7-liter engine is available that can run on
E85 (85 percent ethanol), dropping fuel economy to a dismal 9/12 mpg
City/Highway with E85 or 12/17 mpg with gasoline. We recommend the
4.6-liter. It's plenty, unless you're doing a lot of towing, in which
case we'd spring for the 5.7-liter.
The Toyota Sequoia was
completely redesigned for 2008, borrowing heavily in appearance and
running gear from the Toyota Tundra pickup, but with independent rear
suspension for better ride quality and third-row seating. In 2010
Sequoia got a new engine offering. Changes for 2011 are minimal.
For
2011, Sequoia gets revised tow ratings in accordance with a new
industry standard; its rated maximum is down by about a ton, to 7400
pounds. The 2011 Sequoia also gets the Tundra's new receiver hitch and
an off-switch for the now-standard daytime running lights. Packages and
standard equipment have been revised to simplify choices; there are no
more than three factory options and choice of two- or four-wheel drive
for any of the three models.
This second-generation Sequoia is
the biggest SUV Toyota has ever made and takes as much garage space as a
long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz S-Class. (Or maybe we should say an
S-Class takes up as much space as a full-size SUV.)
The Sequoia
represents a modern take on the traditional sport utility vehicle. It's
built to transport people and their gear, in comfort, across long
distances on North American super-highways, and it can tow a sizable
trailer or continue when the pavement ends and overgrown station wagons
don't look so tough anymore. It's all about getting people in and out
easily, keeping them comfy, and making heavy loads secure and
routine. It rides quietly, steers easily, and with three models, two
drivetrains, and a full complement of features, the Sequoia can meet a
variety of wants, needs and price points. We think the Sequoia SR5 is
the best model in the lineup for towing, with or without four-wheel
drive.
In Toyota's lineup the Land Cruiser is a more upscale
luxury vehicle with greater off-road and towing capability. If you don't
tow anything or need all wheels driven only for snow, the Highlander
and Sienna can be had with similar features and will drive and use fuel
more like that of a car upon which they are based.

TOYOTA SEQUOIA is.............?!
The Toyota Sequoia is a full-size SUV produced by Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana in Princeton, Indiana. It is derived from the Toyota Tundra pickup truck but differs in its use of an independent rear suspension. It is priced between the mid-size 4Runner and the full-size Land Cruiser.
The Sequoia is the largest SUV currently sold under the Toyota name.
Both the Sequoia and Land Cruiser seat eight passengers, however the
Sequoia is slightly larger than the Land Cruiser, with partially larger
leg room for the third row, and more cargo space behind the third row.
Another difference is that the Sequoia is available in 2WD and its 4WD
system is not the permanent 4WD system like the one featured on the Land
Cruiser. Lastly the Land Cruiser is more luxurious and upmarket, being
the basis for the Lexus LX. As of 2011, the Sequoia is sold exclusively in the United States, Bolivia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Middle East.
The Sequoia was originally shown in car shows in 1999 and 2000, with
full production starting in late 2000 as a 2001 model. Engine,
driveline, and some sheetmetal components are shared with the Tundra,
and shares the same basic chassis, with the exception of rear disc brakes and a more sophisticated multi-link live axle rear suspension. The Sequoia was nominated for the North American Truck of the Year
award for 2001. The Sequoia is slightly longer than the Land Cruiser,
however, it is barely noticeable. At introduction it was larger than the
Chevrolet Tahoe in most dimensions and similar in size to the Ford Expedition; its V8 engine was certified as Ultra Low Emission Vehicle. Frame assemblies and driveshafts are produced by Dana Corporation.
The Sequoia comes in two trim levels; SR5 and Limited. The SR5 starts at $32,820 while the more expensive Limited starts at $41,855. It is sold in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions. Vehicle Stability Control was standard on all models.[1]
Towing Capacity for the 2005 model year:
- 2WD: 6,500 lb (2,948 kg)
- 4WD: 6,200 lb (2,812 kg)
