| 2013 Toyota Sequoia |
In a world where there seems to be fewer big SUVs than there
were 15 years ago, there is a premium on large, truck-based SUVs that can not
only hold a lot of people (and stuff), but tow anything your heart desires. The
2013 Toyota Sequoia is just that vehicle.
“The Toyota Sequoia is a big SUV that can do big things,”
said Nathan Ayers of Burien Toyota. “In Western Washington, there a lot of
people who want to be able to easily tow a camper or boat because there are so
many places to do that in Puget Sound area. The Sequoia can do more than haul, it is also easy enough for the soccer moms to drive around without
feeling intimidated. It’s a very smooth and responsive ride.”
The 2013 Toyota Sequoia provides comfortable seating for
eight people (not just child-sized people), including a middle row of seats
that moves forward and backward to create more leg space (more on that later). Or
you can fold down all of the seats to get 120 cubic feet of cargo space-perfect
to move a drum set or home improvement materials.
Edumunds.com, the premier “car people” website, had many
positive things to say about the 2013 Toyota Sequoia, including aspects that
make it a cut above others in its class, including the Chevy Tahoe and Ford
Expedition.
- “If you do have towing needs or other heavy-duty uses, however, nothing but a truck-type SUV will get the job done, and the 2013 Toyota Sequoia surely is one of the most comfortable ways to do it. The Sequoia rides better and has a more sophisticated interior than the stalwart class choice, the 2013 Chevy Tahoe, while its beefy V8 outshines the power available from the Ford Expedition.”
- Edmunds.com testing revealed the Sequoia hustled from zero to 60 in an impressive 6.7 seconds. Not bad for a vehicle that is big enough to haul 7,000-7,400 pounds.
- Front and rear parking sensors and a back-up camera are standard on the Limited and Platinum trims.
- “The second-row seats in particular not only recline, but slide fore and aft for extra legroom: a rare feature among full-size SUVs."
- “The center section of the 40/20/40-split second-row bench also slides forward to put little ones within easy reach of mom and dad."
- “The Sequoia's interior is well set up for carrying stuff, too, with 66.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second-row seats. While the popular Chevy Tahoe requires you to remove and stow its heavy third-row seats in order to maximize cargo space, the Sequoia's independent rear suspension allows its 60/40-split third-row seats to quickly fold down into the floor to create a vast 121 cubic feet of cargo space with all the rear seats folded. In the Limited and Platinum models, they fold with the touch of a button.”
- Independent rear suspension and “quick” hydraulic power steering, “there’s a nimbleness” to be found in the Sequoia’s handling.
Of course safety is important and the Toyota Sequoia exceeds
the safety expectations of a large SUV with its six-point Star Safety System
that includes: Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control, Anti-Lock Brake
System, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, and Smart Stop
Technology.

The 2013 Toyota Sequoia is the stuff that family memories
are made of. “And to help make your adventures possible, it offers a powerful
V8 engine and genuine all-terrain capability. In short, this vehicle does much
more than merely simplify trips to the local big-box store. Sequoia gives you
the ability to show your family the original meaning of “remote.”
