2008 toyota sequoia review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. All-new suv bigger, stronger, and more versatile. introductionall-new, completely redesigned and re-engineered, the 2008 toyota sequoia is bigger and more capable than last year's model. This is the biggest suv toyota has ever made, and it has the most capability. it can tow up to 10,000 pounds and transport eight people, plus cargo. The optional engine, a 5. 6-liter v8, makes more than 400 pound-feet of torque, so the sequoia rarely breaks a sweat in ordinary driving. An available six-speed transmission allows for smooth, low-vibration cruising on the biggest roads. The interior is designed with generous seats, big armrests, and lots of storage for passengers, plus an optional entertainment system for long trips. toyota's comprehensive suite of electronic safety, stability and traction controls, the star system, is standard on all models, as are advanced airbag systems. the new sequoia represents a state-of-the-art rendering of the modern sport utility vehicle. It's built to transport people and their gear, in comfort, across long distances on north american super-highways. It's all about getting people in and out easily, keeping them comfy, and making heavy loads secure and routine. It rides quietly, steers easily, and with three models, two drive trains, and a broad selection of options, the new sequoia can be configured in a variety of ways to meet specific wants, needs and price points. the sequoia differs from the premium land cruiser in that the sequoia is larger, can carry and tow more and is designed specifically for north america. The sequoia is more about practical utility and comfort. It is built alongside the tundra pickup at toyota's princeton, indiana, factory and shares many components with the tundra. lineupthe 2008 toyota sequoia is packaged in three grades: sr5, limited and platinum. Sr5 and limited come standard with the 273-hp 4. 7-liter v8 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. Platinum comes standard with the 5. 7-liter v8 and six-speed automatic. Eight-passenger seating is standard; platinum seats seven. sr5 34,150) is the entry grade and it comes standard with tri-zone air conditioning, power windows locks and back window, keyless entry, and eight-speaker am/fm/cd audio system with a plug for ipod compatibility, tilt steering, cruise control, spare tire, and mud guards. limited 45,225) adds heated, leather trimmed seats, upgrades the driver's seat to 10-way adjustable, and adds leather trim to the steering wheel, seats, and gearshift knob. The rear 60/40 third row seat is power operated. The dash is upgraded with brighter optitron gauges and a multi-information display, and the jbl synthesis audio system includes bluetooth capability. Outside, the limited includes a roof rack, fog lamps, running boards and parking sonar system. Second-row seats are heated buckets, converting the interior to seven-passenger capacity, and the navigation system with backup camera is standard with platinum. The exterior also includes a rear spoiler, power back door, sunroof, and headlamp cleaner. Also available on the limited are 20-inch, 10-spoke alloy wheels with p275/55r20 tires 920) and captain's chairs for the second row. toyota's star safety system comes standard on all models. walkaroundobviously larger than the previous model, the toyota sequoia is now definitely full size in the domestic american sense. compared to the chevy tahoe, the new sequoia is longer and wider with a longer wheelbase. It's actually designed to look tall and oversized, so as to project strength from a distance. the windshield angle is lower than before, accentuating bulk below the hood line, and larger high-mounted headlamps add an alert look to a cabin-forward design. Exterior mirrors are large, because they have to be, but careful smoothing has reduced wind noise, as does the use of partially hidden wipers that likewise, must be very large to sweep the large front windshield. The rear doors now open 10 degrees wider for easier child seat and passenger access and have three detents, instead of two. from the front bumper to the b-pillar, the sequoia shares a lot of design features with the tundra pickup, along with numerous drive train components. parking sensors enable easier parking and the ability to avoid people or toys lurking in the driveway. interiorthe toyota sequoia cabin is built for passenger comfort, with generous legroom and headroom. Seating is designed for long days of driving, with a comfortable, unusually wide driver's seat with power lumbar support. The seats have soft, wide bolsters and the kind of adjustability that allows a driver to shift around during long drives. the interior is conspicuously wide. With a body longer and wider than the previous model (or a current chevrolet tahoe), more legroom and shoulder room becomes available for people and cargo. the dash is simple and focused, with two central gauges, speedometer and tachometer, flanked by fuel, temperature and voltage gauges. The hvac system is designed to define and maintain three different climate zones, two in the front, and one in the back. We think toyota does a good job when it comes to switch feel and operational consistency when it comes to dials and other touchpoints. two overhead compartments are suitable for sunglasses, and the control strip has sunroof controls. An electrochromic rear view mirror is standard except on sr5, and the mirror contains built-in garage door opener buttons operating on three different frequencies. the sun visors are huge, and they slide on their hangers, providing effective shade for driver and passenger all day long. To that end, the third row seats have almost as much leg room as the second-row seats, and have adjustability features rarely seen in eight-passenger suvs. When the seat is folded flat, large baggage or cargo can be loaded without removing the seat. It is a well-organized cargo area
