The full-size, eight-passenger Toyota Sequoia is available in two trim levels -- SR5 and Limited -- with either two-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive traction. The base Sequoia SR5 is well equipped with amenities like power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, full power accessories and a CD/cassette audio system. Sequoia Limited’s come fully equipped with 17-inch alloys, running boards, a sunroof, heated leather seats and a premium 10-speaker JBL audio system; many of these features are available as SR5 options.

Under the hood of all Sequoias rests a 4.7-liter V8 rated at 273 horsepower and 314 pound-feet of torque. This engine lives up to Toyota's tradition of smooth and seamless power plants, and it's hooked up to an equally competent five-speed automatic transmission. Properly equipped, the Toyota Sequoia offers low-range 4WD capability but has a maximum towing capacity of only 6,500 pounds. The Sequoia comes standard with antilock disc brakes with brake assist, stability and traction control, front side-impact airbags, and side curtain airbags for first- and second-row occupants.
