1.3 - What is the Sequoia ?
The Toyota Sequoia is a Sport Utility Vehicle that will be based on the Tundra
frame. Originally shown in various automotive shows in 1999 and 2000, the
Sequoia will be larger than the 4Runner, and is roughly the same size as the
Land Cruiser. Average Retail List will be around $35000. The Land Cruiser
will still be around as the "ultimate" Toyota SUV, however, due to it's
all-wheel drive and it's reputation. Toyota has mentioned that it will not
discontinue the Land Cruiser to make way for the Sequoia. At this time, there
is no planned Toyota Racing Development Package for 4x2 or 4x4 Sequoias.
Engine components and driveline components will be similar to the Tundra. The
Sequoia shares some of the same sheet metal (hood, front doors, front quarter
panels, etc) with the Tundra. The Sequoia does have a more active drivetrain,
complete with slip detection and traction control. The Sequoia also has 4
wheel disc brakes.
Be aware that some dealerships at this time of writing may and can charge up to
$10,000 extra for a Sequoia due to demand.
