Toyota introduced the 8-passenger Sequoia as the first full-size SUV from a Japanese manufacturer. The second generation Sequoia has grown in every conceivable dimension to match its domestic rivals. Powered by either a 4.6L V-8 or 5.7L V-8, the Sequoia boasts tow ratings up to 10000 pounds. The Sequoia is available in 2WD and 4WD models. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) enhances handling in poor weather.

A new 4.6L V8 replaces the 4.7L V8 offered on SR5 models. The new engine features a higher horsepower rating. The 4.6L V8 is now paired with a six-speed automatic. Standard features have been adjusted on most models with significantly higher prices to match.
