Arriving in 2001, Sequoia was Toyota’s first mainstream, full-size sport-utility vehicle. It was developed to fill a key product and price position between the 4Runner and Land cruiser. Larger and roomier than the Land Cruiser, Sequoia filled out Toyota’s SUV lineup with the size, features, performance and pricing that was the rage with upscale buyers.
Sequoia was built alongside the Tundra pickup at Toyota’s assembly plant in Indiana. Although based on the Tundra’s platform, extensive changes were made to better suit the needs of a full-size SUV. Sequoia was available in a very well equipped SR5 version or the more luxurious Limited trim, both powered by a modified version of Tundra’s 4.7-liter engine with an output of 240 horsepower.
