Sequoia--classical and luxuriant cross-country
The Sequoia, Toyota’s full-size SUV, offers plenty of features to keep Toyota loyalists interested. The sole powertrain is a 4.7L DOHC i-FORCE V-8 engine that makes 217 hp and 314 lb.-ft. of torque. The V-8 is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission with shift logic that analyzes driver input and adjusts shift points accordingly. The Sequoia comes in two flavors: SR5 or Limited, with both available as either two- or four-wheel-drive models. The body-on-frame construction features fully boxed frame rails for strength and rigidity. The available hydraulic load-leveling rear suspension allows owners to load cargo and passengers while still keeping the vehicle level, a plus for fuel economy as well as on-road safety.
With the same exterior design it's had since 2001, Sequoia is Toyota's largest SUV. The Sequoia is capable of carrying up to eight passengers or 128 cubic-feet of cargo and is a true competitor to the industry leading twins from Chevrolet (the Tahoe and Suburban), the Ford Expedition and newcomers Dodge Durango and Nissan Armada. Toyota's big SUV is not perfect though, ranking near the bottom of the pack in terms of horsepower and torque. Then again, concerns about shortcomings under the hood may be offset by the assured integrity of the Sequoia's impressive resale value.
