What the specs mean
It uses the 4.6L 8-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Its combined rating is 14.3 L/100 km, which means roughly 43 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $221.70 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size.
Room inside
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
A longer test drive
Rent the Sequoia first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Sequoia answers the big questions. Rent the Sequoia for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Running costs
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.17 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $221.70 at our price setting.
