Great truck and comfortable ride.

I loved the utility of the sequoia. It had PLENTY of space. I'm 6' 5" and I fit PERFECTLY even in the 3rd row. The sequoia platinum was a perfect combination of power and performance (towing and acceleration) and comfort and luxury. With the platinum, you are given a host of helpful features and extras. The Sequoia, although trimmed very nicely in the platinum edition, still feels like a truck. From the huge, rugged looking dash, to the way it drives, you know what they're trying to accomplish by making this car. The platinum's addition of air-ride suspension definitely helps to lessen the truck-feel, however. Overall, great car. We've owned several sequoias from this generation and have loved them all.

awesome

Toyota hasn't made any significant changes in this vehicle in years. With good reason. Don't fix wait ain't broke. The engine is incredible. Match with a great transmission. When you need to accelerate it will move out. Great family car. Lots of room. Great looks and comfort.

Certified Used Purchase

Rick solid truck, power galore...maybe too much. Great room for family of 5. Toyota quality throughout. Opted for the SR5 over a Limited model and love the seats much better. Navigation system is great with voice commands.

Little to Complain About

We have owned a Suburban and a Tahoe in the past. We bought a 2013 Sequoia SR5 about 6 months ago because it was priced well below the GM products. We are very pleased with this SUV with two disappointments - the gauges are very difficult to read during the day due to the deep setback in the dash; the feel of the steering is not as good as the GM product and really takes getting used to on two-lane, curvy highways. If the money were the same we would opt for the Tahoe. Reliability comparison is yet to be determined.

Not perfect, but pretty close

I love this automobile. As someone who's 6'2" with long legs I am only comfortable in large vehicles. I've owned a Lexus LS460L, an BMW 750L and a Suburban among others. I'm very particular about 2nd row seating and the Sequoia absolutely has it. Your taller passengers will be VERY comfortable in the second row. Third row is full size with average room. Only problem I've had is the 3rd row seat (right side) stopped folding. They had to replace the seat frame. Otherwise it's been great. 25K miles on it so far after 15 months and still smells relatively new.

Love the Sequoia

My wife and I have been looking and researching for a new car to replace our 8-year old Honda Pilot for about 6 months. With three boys who are all active in sports, we needed a larger vehicle and test drove or reviewed all the usual suspects like Suburban, Tahoe, Expedition. We settled on the Sequioa for several reasons. First, it is a bigger SUV but not overwhelmingly long or wide like some of the other ones we considered. It has all the amenities that we wanted like auto seat fold, auto rear hatch open and close, rear camera, et al. Lastly was that we wanted something different from what everyone else was driving...our town has a poliferation of Suburbans and Tahoes. The only reason we don't give it a higher grade is that it does seem pricier than other similar class vehicles and the gas mileage is a bit of a bummer, but we knew that before we purchased. Overall I am happy and my wife is thrilled!
