2012 Toyota Sequoia Limited

The 2012 Sequoia is Toyota's full-size SUV, the one you pick when you need to carry eight people and their stuff without squeezing. It's a big, heavy SUV, so it doesn't dart around like a small car, but it has plenty of power to get up to speed and pass confidently. The ride is smooth for a vehicle this size, and the seats are comfortable enough for long trips. With three rows and a power-folding third seat, you can switch between hauling people and cargo easily. Stepping up to the Limited adds leather upholstery, heated front seats, a power liftgate, and a JBL sound system over the SR5, along with available four-wheel drive. The 5.7L V8 makes 381 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, and with four-wheel drive this Sequoia pulls strongly and handles light off-road trails without fuss. The Limited can be had with a rear-seat DVD entertainment system, which keeps the kids occupied on long trips.
