About Toyota Sequoia
The full-size Sequoia, Toyota’s largest SUV, is designed to accommodate families who require three rows of seating, a reasonable amount of off-road capability for finding campgrounds, and the capacity to tow a boat or horse trailer. In truth, only a small proportion of Toyota Sequoia owners use their vehicles for such outdoor activities, but with its manageable proportions, sophisticated road manners, and comfy inside, this giant SUV has long been a gratifying minivan substitute.
The 2007 Toyota Sequoia, now in its sixth year of production, is still a viable option for buyers looking for a large, comfortable SUV who don’t mind spending extra money on gas. Just keep in mind that a larger, more powerful Sequoia will be released in 2008.
The Toyota Sequoia, which is based on the previous-generation Tundra full-size truck platform, is around the same size as domestic sport-utes like the Chevrolet Tahoe and Ford Expedition, as well as its main import-brand competition, the Nissan Armada. It does, however, ride on a somewhat narrower track, resulting in significantly less hip- and shoulder room in the cabin. Nonetheless, there’s enough space in all three rows to make the Sequoia a viable carpool vehicle. The 50/50-split third-row seats do not fold into the floor like the Ford and Nissan models, which might be inconvenient when reconfiguring the vehicle for hauling cargo.
Toyota claims that the Sequoia has the biggest load capacity (128 cubic feet) among these competitors, however the firm inflated this figure slightly by measuring with the second-row seats unbolted from the floor (an operation that requires hand tools and elbow grease). That doesn’t change the fact that the Sequoia is a roomy and practical SUV, and while the inside is starting to look dowdy, it still has the best build and materials quality in the large SUV class.
If you’re looking for a full-size SUV this year, the 2007 Toyota Sequoia is worth considering. Its competitors, on the other hand, have substantially bigger towing capacities, so if this is a priority for you, one of them will definitely suit you better. Furthermore, the Armada and Expedition are likely to be better choices for purchasers who often utilize the third-row seat, although the Tahoe has a more elegant look both inside and out.
