Don't Sleep on the Sequoia
When you have legendary off-road siblings like the Toyota Land Cruiser and Toyota 4Runner, it's difficult to get a word in edge-wise. But the Toyota Sequoia does an excellent job creating its own way in the world by blending overland capability with family-friendly ride comfort and interior appointments.
The Toyota Sequoia was first released for the 2001 model year, filling a gap in Toyota's lineup as a more mainstream full-size SUV that could compete in function and price-point against the likes of the Ford Expedition, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and others. This behemoth was largely based on the recently-released full-sized Tundra pickup, including the engine, chassis, and many of the cosmetic elements.
The 1st Generation Sequoia could be had with either 2WD or 4WD, and was equipped with either the Limited or SR5 trim. It quickly earned consideration from buyers, taking home NAIAS's Truck of the Year award.
The 2005+ Facelift Is the Sequoia You Need
In 2005, a mid-generation facelift resulted in several cosmetic upgrades, including light casings and grille. However, the major change was under the hood. While the 2UZ-FE, 4.7L V8 engine was already earning regard for its longevity and its ample power-on-demand, the VVT-i upgrade for 2005 increased horsepower from 240 hp. to 282 hp., and torque from 315 lb.-ft. to 325 lb.-ft. Additionally, the 4-speed transmission was replaced by a 5-speed,
All-in, the improvements yielded better economy, better performance, and increased reliability. For those seeking an early Sequoia for daily or weekend duty, the 2005+ model years are in high-demand.
