Listen up, if you are one that is looking for a large SUV for 7 or 8 people, this one is for you. This beast is ready to take on anything. The Toyota Sequoia is one tough vehicle that can get you anywhere. While it was spring time when I was able to drive this, I know that this vehicle would be amazing in the winter.
The 2018 Toyota Sequoia is a really nice looking vehicle, inside and out. Nice details everywhere; its buttons and controls are within good reach of the driver’s seat; leather seats are standard; running boards that made it easy for my little’s to get in and out on their own.
Driving the Sequoia is an exercise in powerful control. For its size, it speeds up beautifully without that tugging feeling you sometimes get when you ask a large vehicle to move faster than it really wants to. It was a smooth ride and definitely was a favorite of my kids.
Five favorite features of the Toyota Sequoia ::
- Third Row – Speaking of that third row, the seats not only go down but they literally descend into the vehicle rather than simply folding forward. This is what gives you so much extra space when you don’t need those three extra seats for bums. Perfect for that weekend trip or week long trip.
- Back up Camera – There’s a backup camera, of course, which I couldn’t drive without anymore, but there are also sensors at the front of the vehicle. These are incredibly helpful when you’re parking a full-size SUV, especially if you’re not used to something so large.
- Lots of space – In general, there is just a lot of space in the front and the back. You definitely will not be squished up in here and better for the kids and having to be touching each other, which you know kids fight about.
- Gas mileage – You would probably think this would be terrible on gas mileage. It is not the worst of any vehicle we’ve driven, mind you, but I actually think it is pretty great for this size of vehicle.
- Sit up high – Sitting up high and being able to see all the surroundings was pretty great.
What were also able to do was fit 3 bikes in the back of it to take a family bike ride. So that was pretty awesome. What other vehicle can you do that in?
What makes you chose the vehicle you do? Size, looks? Would you chose a Sequoia?
