Another Bloated Suv!
 Competes with: Ford Expedition, Nissan Armada, Chevy Suburban Looks like: A Tundra SUV Drivetrain: 276-hp, 4.7-liter V-8 with five-speed automatic or 381-hp, 5.7-liter V-8 with six-speed automatic Hits dealerships: Early 2008 The designer of the new Sequoia went so far as to live with an American family to find out what their large-SUV needs were to help on this redesign. We don’t know if all that effort was needed to basically build the SUV version of the new Tundra pickup, but that’s pretty much what we get with the new Sequoia. Thankfully, it features the 5.7-liter V-8 engine we loved in the new Tundra. The standard V-8 is the same as the outgoing Sequoia’s, however. Surprisingly, the larger engine gets better fuel economy, at 14/19 mpg city/highway with the 5.7-liter and 14/17 mpg city/highway with the 4.7-liter. Those numbers drop to 13/18 and 13/16 mpg for the four-wheel drive models of each, respectively. Even inside, the Tundra’s Neapolitan color scheme is carried over. We’re guessing it’ll be a terrific-riding large SUV, and the fact that it can tow 10,000 pounds may make it a favorite of the hauling crowd.

Why does Toyota feel the need to upsize, when the current trend is to downsize? I knew the Highlander was bloated, but I saw one parked next to our X3 and it made the X3 look tiny by comparison.

...Although I thought my new X5 was small, until I pulled next to my moms Jeep. Wow. We don't need any more large cars on the road! ...Or if they are going to keep making them they need to make them much more fuel efficient.

In years past I felt Toyota's styling was simply nice. Nothing to rave about but nothing that would really turn you off either. Their new designs, Camry, Tundra, this thing, Highlander, etc are terribly boring and UGLY. The Lexus LX is even worse.... GAG.....

I like it - I wouldn't want one, but it is much nicer looking than most of the alternatives IMO.
Thank you Toyota for making our roads a little more diverse.
