By the late ‘90s, Toyota established itself as a globally strong contender in making ultra-reliable vehicles and it expanded its portfolio to make its presence in almost every market segment. Toyota had enough hands-on experience and success from the legendary Land Cruiser and riding on it, it brought along the Sequoia in 2000. The SUV was based on the Tundra pickup truck hence provided excellent ruggedness and reliability.
The SUV is still in its 2nd generation model and comes with no changes for the 2016 model year. The powertrain and the drivetrain options remain the same with a standard V8 motor and two drivetrain layouts. The price for the 2016 Sequoia starts at $45,325 and goes all the up to a premium price tag of $65,080.
