    Practical and luxurious. Great family car...room for friends, too. Teenage daughter also enjoyed driving it even though it’s a large car, it’s drves easily, not like a truck.

  • Great SUV, but lacks technology

    Pros- comfortable, roomy, drive is smooth, feels well built Cons- gas guzzler, lacks standard tech features such as push to start I didn't buy the Sequoia expecting reasonable gas mileage and for the latest tech packages. I needed a large reliable well built vehicle thats going to last me for many years. I made the right choice.

  • Fits our need perfectly.

    This car fits our needs perfectly. With 5 grandkids that we keep 1-2 days a week, the 3rd row seat is a requirement. The DVD keeps them occupied while we try to get them to all of their activities after school. Love the car

  • Best SUV I've owned

    I am a previous owner of a Chevy Tahoe, and I thought that the GM made the best trucks and SUVs. Boy was I wrong! Toyota is known for making some of the most reliable cars in the industry, and I must say that their Trucks and SUVs have come a long way. The Sequoia with the Platinum Package is a dream come true. I especially love the numerous storage compartments and the back privacy glass, as I live in Florida, and those options make this the perfect vehicle for visiting the beach in! Amongst other features, I also love the Blind Spot Monitor, Radar Cruise Control, and the premium sound system.

  • Sequoia, overpriced

    Of course, all the new vehicles are amazing, but for the price, I feel this vehicle is overpriced. Has the power, not extremely uncomfortable, but not all that plush either, and after having Suburbans, will go back to Chevrolet Suburban.
