Toyota Seqouia Review

2007 Toyota Sequoia Limited

2007 Toyota Sequoia SR5 w/ sport package

The Toyota Sequoia is at heart a truck with its towing capabilities and ability to carry cargo. It can carry up to eight people, but isn’t the best urban people mover. However, it isn’t bad for family road trips and is nearly the same size as a Ford Expedition, and slightly larger than a Chevrolet Tahoe. The Sequoia also maintains Toyota’s good name is reliability, customer service and fit/finish. Perhaps its only weakness is that it doesn’t come in many different trims and only one engine is available.
