Toyota introduced the 8-passenger Sequoia as the first full-size SUV from a Japanese manufacturer. Powered by a 273-bhp 4.7L V-8 mated to a 5-speed automatic, the Sequoia is available in 2WD and 4WD (with center differential) models. A load-leveling rear suspension and hitch receiver improves towing capability (up to 6,500 lbs.). Skid plates are standard on all models. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) enhances handling in poor weather. Popular options include a rear seat DVD entertainment system, DVD navigation, and a JBL® 6-disc CD audio system.
