The big, eight-passenger Sequoia has a strong and refined 5.7-liter V8. paired to a six-speed automatic. This combination returned 15 mpg overall in our tests. Rear- and selectable full-time four-wheel drive are available. The independent rear suspension allows the third-row seat to be folded into a well, improving cargo space. The ride is firm, and handling is clumsy but secure. The interior is very roomy, but the high step-in is a drawback. The power-retractable rear window is a nice touch. Reliability has been well above average.
