2017 Toyota Sequoia review

1. High horsepower under the hood

SUVs are built to haul people, trailers, campers, boats, and anything else that you might need to carry. The Sequoia can tow up to an estimated 7,400 lbs, when properly equipped, with the standard 5.7L V8.

2. Large amount of entertainment options

The 2017 Sequoia would make a good substitute for a living room as it deploys a plethora of entertainment options. Naturally, there is an AM/FM stereo and of course, it is satellite ready. A CD player and Blu-ray Disc^® video system will keep the kids entertained on long trips or short hops around town. An auxiliary audio port for plugging in a phone is included as well. 

3. Desirable technology 

The Entune^™ system via Bluetooth^® connection from Toyota is standard on the 2017 Sequoia and allows drivers to monitor and manage the truck via a phone app. The app controls door locks, locates the vehicle, and checks engine diagnostics. Memory seats will help make everybody comfortable. Even though you'll enjoy the time you spend in the Sequoia, the onboard navigation system will keep you headed in the right direction. There are also power door locks, power seats, and a power sunroof for convenience. 

4. Peace of mind while driving

The 2017 Sequoia was built to make driving as relaxing as possible. Anybody hauling a family will be thrilled with several features, including overhead airbags. There are also side airbags and a rearview camera that will give you peace of mind on the road. A blind spot mirror system and a lane departure warning system are standard. The truck has traction control and 20-plus-inch wheels for superior handling. And parking sensors will make it easier to maneuver around parking lots. 

5. Plenty of storage options

This full-sized SUV has plenty of room inside and offers a third row of seats that fold down to provide you with more flexibility. The Sequoia offers 18.9 cu-ft of storage space behind its third-row seats, and 66.6 cu-ft with them folded down. Total cargo space measures 120 cu-ft with the second- and third-row seats folded down. A power liftgate comes in all but the base trim models and a tow hitch is standard, as are full-sized roof racks.
