With few exceptions, the 2008 Toyota Sequoia Limited 4x4 appears to be the best all-around eight-passenger SUV available.


Glad to hear they liked it...

Wow, I am very pleased to hear so many positives about the Sequioa. I thought it was a tundra when I first opened the page...lol

Faster then a Range, and a Benz!!!! Now that sounds like a winner

I saw a new Sequoia in person this afternoon, it really caught my eyes, it was outstanding amount all SUVs in the parking lot.
It's really good in shape and size. Good work Toyota.

Wow, props to the Sequoia...although it is kinda hit and miss from this site. Interesting vehicle, there are billboards for it in SoCal.

Lots of very positive points.

Did notice their comment about the nav being so far over from the driver. You're gonna need a stick to touch the touch screen.

I like the interior. It's got alot of cool options and isnt sluggish at all for its 276HP. 0-60 in 6.7 That's impressive...must have a nice torque curve.

6.7 sec is the 5.7 tundra engine, oddily enough the bigger engine makes better mileage than the smaller one

The bigger engine has a 6 speed auto, vs 5 speed with the smaller engine. Lower cruising rpms. Also newer technology.

Also, I'm sure the 4.7L has to work a bit harder to move that weight around vs. the 5.7L

I heard Toyota is working on a new Engine in the 4.7L range based on the new 5.7L architecture/technology.
