There have been two generations of the Toyota Sequoia.Current Toyota Sequoia
The Toyota Sequoia is a full-size SUV available in three trim levels: SR5, Limited or Platinum. Even base SR5 models are well equipped, with alloy wheels, a 40/20/40 second-row bench seat, triple-zone automatic climate control, a CD stereo with iPod connectivity, Bluetooth and full power accessories. The Limited adds leather upholstery, power front seats and an upgraded JBL sound system.
All Sequoia trims are available in either two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
Thanks to an independent rear suspension (unlike its Tundra pickup platform-mate), the third-row seat folds flat into the floor, a welcome departure from the previous-generation Sequoia. In our reviews of the current Toyota Sequoia, we've been impressed with its massive power (in versions powered by the 5.7-liter V8), surprising maneuverability and overall refinement. For a truck-based, full-size SUV, the Sequoia is an excellent choice.
Used Toyota Sequoia Models
The current Toyota Sequoia represents the second generation, which debuted for 2008 with a base 4.7-liter V8 and five-speed automatic that were essentially carried over from the previous-generation Sequoia. The first-generation Toyota Sequoia full-size SUV debuted for the 2001 model year. Initially, its standard 4.7-liter V8 produced 240 hp and was mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Limited models were decked out with luxury items, but even base SR5 models had a decent collection of standard equipment.
