The Tire Pressure Monitoring Standard safety items include an advanced airbag system (with new knee airbags), new daytime running lights and LATCH. The vehicle is covered by a 36-month/36,000-mile warranty. Reliability of the new model has been cited as above average by Consumer Reports.

 Reliability & Safety Factor: Make note the Sequoia model (years 2008 through 2010) were recalled during the whole Toyota fiasco. There is also Bluetooth and climate controls on the steering wheel as well as a towing package. The Sequoia does not swallow its passengers up; seating is secured and stable so don’t be intimidated by the vehicle size. Stylish But Comfortable Results: In terms of old school SUVs like the 4Runner and Pathfinder, the Sequoia has definitely “cleaned up” the most by offering a plush ride more on the level of what can be found in a Lexus or a new Lincoln. The third row, usually best for small children, is actually a comfortable experience, too.

 Only the Lincoln MKT has come close to the refinement found on the Sequoia’s second row. Aside of the DVD player, those traveling in the back have heated captain’s chairs and access to climate control. I would agree. The marketing tagline for this giant ride is that second-row passengers get first-class treatment.

 At $49,140, this is the crème-de-la-crème ride with a power sliding rear window, backup camera with a 3.5-inch display built into the rear view mirror, the DVD system and laser cruise control. I drove a 2010 Toyota Sequoia in the Platinum Edition with the bigger 381-horsepower 5.7-liter i-Force V8 engine. With three editions, passengers are lulled by modern conveniences not found on the SUVs of years ago, such as a wireless headphone DVD system, laser cruise control and leather seating for up to eight. Little luxuries can be assumed for all trims, including power seating, a moonroof and a roof rack.  The 3-row Sequoia is an upscale large SUV choice when a regular rugged 4WD just won’t do.
